im tying down 2 of my 4 plants just to experiment and get a feel for it i used a waxy type plastic string and not sure if that is ok. can someone also show me some pics of budding tied down plants so i have an idea. Also some other questions like how early your suppose to tie them down and how often i should make the strings tighter and other general information would be good
 
I dont think there are any rights or wrongs to it. You can probably use anything that wont cut into the plant. Any tightening or bending you can probably keep doing til whatever point you want as long as you dont break the stem.
 
I took zip ties and did it but i took a bit of hose left over from my ebb and flow system and ran the zip tie that was going around the plant through it.

When you are doing low stress training the only thing you have to worry about is cracking your plant/ uprooting it.

If you have a good root structure uprooting is harder than you think.

zip ties worked good for me i tied in 3 places bottom-ish middle-ish then top-ish. Every day when i went and check on them i just gave a few more clicks on each level and shazam hope that helped.
