Erm, well glue a few lolly sticks together, or get some plasic sticks or something.

If its long/ thin and doesn't bend, you shouldf be ok

Well, you could tie up the top of the shoot(s) on the plants, run the lines or whatever you'd use to the ceiling of your room / box.

Although I'd invest some time each day in some minor training before they get too big -- twisting the stems between forefinger and thumb, shaking the plant lightly, that sort of stuff.

My stretched plant snapped under the weight of the cola when it was about 5 weeks flowering and i found floss to be useful. I tied the top to nails in the walls cuz i didn't think a splint would provide enough support for such a bad break. The plant showed signs of stress for only 1 day, and was totally healed up in no time. I also tied the side branches to the main stalk cuz they were droopin from the buds.

all good advice, the one plant that bent over last night and i supported with a straw is up and running good again. It's weird that it even hapened though cause i have the fan on all the time even with the lights off. Well i think i'm goign to start and flower at the end of the week probably only for the simple fact that i'm moving from my dorm apt soon and i don't want to mess things up too much with moving, hope it all turns out well, just don't gwet the whole twisting the stem in between your fingers, wouldn't that snap it???
