Items to low stress train?

[fatbuds420]

What can i use to low stress train my plants? Like common household items. I'm having trouble doing lst, I'm not sure what to use.

Jute twine, yarn, reasonably thick cord, et cetera. You want something that's not so thin that it might cut into the stem.

Pipe cleaners from the arts and crafts section at a dollar store will work fine as well. Fuzzy guys are easy to use and easy on both hands/plants

I use binder clips attach my ties to as I'm using fabric pots. If your using plastic pots you could drill a hole near the top of your pots and put the tie through that.

Here is a pic of one of my pots with the binder clips attached.

I top at the 5th node then once the 2 growth tips grow out long enough after the topping I tie them down making sure the growth tips are lower then the topping site

I also use them to hold buds up and to keep them away from each other.

You can use these to clip onto the side of the container, tie twine to 1 piece of the metal, then loop over the branch you want to train then secure the loose end of twine/string under the clip.

I drill holes on the sides of the pots and attach soft twist ties.

I too use binder clips on the edge of my fabric pots! I bought a roll of 12 gauge rubber coated wire to use as hooks. Works great.

Thanks, but those big paper clips,...they rust quickly ! IMO
