Is it too late to add supports?

I have fear my branches aren't strong enough to hold once my buds get bigger. If I just my plants down it looks like they are already too heavy and bend down. Should i rig up a makeshift tomato cage with stakes and wire? Pics for your help

Tomato netting. All you have to do is drape it over the plant. It will grow through it, locking everything together.

I personally would put 4 stakes around the exterior and wrap trellis netting around them. Picture for reference.

looks like it gets warm there, unless you shield your pots from direct sunlight, the roots are cooking.
 
Get that wire mesh stuff they use for building, it is very cheap, thick, so it lasts years, and you can just bend a tube around your plant.
And once the plants done you can move that tube you made of wire cage to your drying area and hang the buds off it to dry
