Hey all. I'm looking for some good ideas to help support heavy buds in a DWC bucket. I have a good yielding Papaya that is falling all over the place. Any ideas especially with a pic would be greatly appreciated.

I lost a whole plant from my main cola being too heavy and snapped the branch... Anyways dude hit your local grow store up or garden center and look for bamboo steaks or any kind of steak and tape that around your bucket and use it to tie off colas/buds.

Yeah I lost a good sized branch last night. Lights came on...limb sittin on the floor. It was already almost 4 feet wide before the sag and snap. Only a couple weeks left but I doubt she'll make it without me riggin something up.

I'm tryin to get my ducks in a row before I put another one in. I was looking at tomato cages but wasn't sure of how they'll be stable in a dwc lid. Hopefully someone will post some pics of how they do it.

Train every branch so it grows somewhat horizontal and interweave the branches until you put it into flower. The branches will support each other like it was under a trellis so you don't have to tie the branches up and immobilize the plant. Very heavy colas are no problem if trained this way plus you don't have to worry about plant height.
