That's a good sign though man! If you're already having to support them in day 30 of flower you're more than on the right track. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep your eye on them and I have a feeling you'll be on your way to a great harvest. Looking WAY good so far my man, don't stress yourself over this too much as cannabis is quite the resilient plant.

Had to do a great deal more tying up today didnt have chance to pick up and bamboo stakes but im wondering would it be wise to start driving bamboo stakes into the soil at this stage? I figure i could end up ripping or tearing the root system if i do. Thinking next time round i should add bamboo stakes much earlier maybe few weeks into veg? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.

Don't worry about hurting the plant with stakes. It won't notice. There are many other options for supporting heavy buds. You could build a trellis. Some people use tomato cages. Silicate nutrients are good for growing thicker stems to support more weight.

Glad you were able to address the issue while the lights were on. Dealing with issues when you know the lights are turning off soon can't be fun. Plants look great! What strain are you growing?

Mmm Blue cheese is a very nice smoke. One of my favs.
If I remember right they pack on early but take a while to amber up. Be interesting to see how they grow for you.
Looking good.

Indeed. Ive read alot about this strain and yes apparently they do pack on early, guess that explains the need to support the buds only 30 days into flower.
