Default How do YOU support your buds after tying-down?
permalink
Hi Guys!

I'm doing Low Stress Training to my OG plants. I'm in week two of flower and they're about 4.5 feet tall.

How do you go about supporting the weight of the flowers with LST??? Before doing LST, I would use stakes to help support them, but not sure what to do now...Do I release the tie-downs at some point then use stakes?

I don't think it would be a good idea not to support the weight of the buds. I want all the energy focused to them!

Any suggestions or tips?

Thanks!

after tying them down, you tie them up!

What kinds of things do you tie them up to? I usually make a "grid" out of string on my bigger plants, but not sure what to do with the smaller ones. Suggestions?

Thanks guys!

Check out Dynagro's pro-tekt. It makes the stems really stiff, also helps with drought tolerance.
