She fallen and can't get up!

No picture needed. I have a few 9' plants heavy with buds I just checked on and they've fallen over to the ground. The stems at ground level seem unharmed and plants healthy lookin but still need a while to harvest, hairs just starting to turn color. Afraid of mold and wonder if I should stake them back up. Was thinkin of at least 45 degrees not to over stress the stem by going str8 back up. Being taller than the Neddles now I thought maybe this could be good for concealment being only 3' tall now. Should I stake or just keep an eye on em? thanks!

Hey and welcome to RIU
I'd stake and bend em.
Indiana hahaha
I've lived there over near jasper

9 inch or 9 foot? lol

looked like 9 foot to me...

Yeah I would steak them, a very similar thing happened to my tomatoes, really all you can do is upright them steak them and hope for the best. You can also look up super cropping. This guy has an article on it. http://tengreenthumbs.com/?p=845
You know what they say what ever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

And it's true, i've had alot of mishaps, lights falling on shit, me dropping shit and so on.
Never killed one that way, and they all wound up blowing me away.

Happy growin bro, she should live.

Come on Hoosier!A real Indiana boy would know what to do with out asking lol.

LOL Yeah, it was pretty much common sence to stake em up. My first thread and I was ripped! Made some killer cannibutter this weekend. Sampled about a half a reeses cup of it and tripped. Getting up and walking was a challenge. So I didn't.

yeah, butter will do that to ya, lol. i made the mistake of eating way too much first time i made any. from the fridge to the bthroom to the tv shouldnt be an 1 1/2 hour trip. lol. kept geeking out at almost everything i saw, then my cat wanted to play. he must of thought i was retarded after just staring at him and laughing for so long.

Staked them back up half way. Lucky the trunks had no damage. To much work and to nice of buds to see fall over. I'm staking anything questionable early next year. Lows around freezing have slowed growth to near nil. Hairs still over 50% white. Weather over 50 should give them a few more growing days and hopefully ripen. Weather is one full month ahead of average in Northern Indiana. Sucks.
