A very cheap, and very good Ties to use for LTS.
Go to your dollar store near you, and in the craft section they have these long looking pipe cleaner looking things for doing crafts.. for a 1$ you get like 30 ties.
They work as good as any ties out there..
I use them myself and they work like a charm as you can see in my journals..

Nice looking setup you got philly!!

I saw a guy on you tube using scotch tape to tape the leaves to the side of his container for LST and it seems to have worked out fine.

Hi

So did reservoir change today. More LST and trim big leaves covering other colas.
Whatever people say, doing LST and trim, the plants explodes. Loves it. I see people in videos say be careful with the bending and be gentle...no need. The plant is sturdy and didn't stunt the grow at all.

Put some Armor Si (first time) with the new nutrient water. Oh yea and CalMag. Both from General Hydroponics.
I keep spraying the plants every once in a while with pH adj tap water. Is this useless or a good idea? I don't see any signs of harm to the plants.

 

[EBnFLO]

I don't even PH the tap water. It's usually around 7.0ish

Anytime I feel they could use a little humidity, I mist them
