this is my first time gorwing outdoor. i have 1 female and she is about 6ft tall right now, she is just starting to bud. she is very healthy the only problem i have is that the stalk is not that big, and im scared that when the buds start packing on they might get too heavy for the stalk and make it fall or bend and brake.
what should or could i do?

Nylon panyhose work really well, just loosely tie the weak branch to one of the main branches. The nylon will stretch so you can actually tie onto each branch.

just remember the wind is what will thicken your stalks, and if tied up they won't get much bigger. it might be a good idea to wait untill they start to bud so they have time to get a little thicker, then tie them, or maybe do a search on "lst" it can make a big difference. and when you do tie the branches make sure you don't tie string directly to the branch, or it will eat right into it over a little time, the panty hose idea sounds good, i always used strips from an old towel to tie loose loops then tie the string to them.
