@jeng could be too much weight for them to hold up or do you have any critters that might be tugging on them at night?.. @Packee @Ladithief do outdoor maybe they have a thought

That branch came off in a downward direction… were you LST’ing and do you have silica and calcium in you feedings… and when you brought them up did yo have a fan blowing air across them… I have never had that happen except when my hand was touching the branch… I get 3" to 4" stalks outdoors… I can help you but need more info… take a picture with more plant in it including that spot then take a picture of the whole plant please… I have had root balls roll in 60mph wind storms but have never had a plant break on me in the probably 100 I have grown outdoors because of weather…

Where in Ontario as I am in Ontario… you should have absolutely no buds until July 27 at earliest showing flowers and by August 25 obvious sex and flowers… so there should be no weight on those branches right now to break them off… also sorry if I missed it what strain…

and your genetics are producing straws… it is what certain strains do… a hollow stalk is nothing to worry about but you have to make sure they are hardened off wind and weight wise… hence silica and calcium…and a nutrient uptake enhancer like Liquid Karma… I only say liquid karma as I use it indoor as I believe 100% in Botanicare… in my living soil its fulvic or humic acid to achieve this in my teas…

Turns out after all the effort it’s a giant male. :unamused:
Thanks for all the help from everyone that tried to solve my problem:) I just don’t care if it falls apart anymore:(

Yeah but that doesn’t explain the issue… a learning is the best even on a male…unless you can force reg seeds I recommend femenized…
