Support way too strong in slicer

Here's my slicer settings, just changed to reclilinear which looks loser, but is still too solid a join

The support material is as strong as the main, and I can never remove it without destroying the object.
I'm printing on a Huxey with PLA

I'm not near my printer/ PC right now, but if I remember correctly there's a setting in advanced(??)
where you can set the extrusion width or flow rate for support.

Mine is set to 75%, and my support comes out pretty flaky, but does it's job.

If you've not found it, I'll post what I'm talking about when I'm near my PC!

Thanks that made it much better,

slicer->print settings->advanced
set support material to "70%" (was "0", auto)

and the support was more brittle and in a lighter colour.
