Anyone have any good idea for supporting heavy branches. Im growing outdoors and would like to get any branch supporting system in place now, before its to late and I wreck something putting it in place. I saw a picture somewhere, but cant find it now, where someone used bamboo stakes and twine in a christmas tree foe around his girls.... looked lke great support. Any ideas anyone?

You said it, bamboo canes, then jsut tie the branches on. I personally just tie the branches to the main stem to they each counter balance the branch on the other side and it's all happy clappy

Tomato cages, if they're not TOO tall!

Look at the picture at the bottom of this post. Chain link on the sides and remesh across the top.

For individual plants, in a garden setting, I like using one or more t-posts and twine to support overly heavy branches.

I use whatever works.

I hate muddy buds.
