LST training stakes? What are you using?

[Bishop12]

Something round to spin eyes into the wire then fixed around the pot by twisting.

Using a pen it only takes a minute to do.

Brilliant!

Brilliant!

Thank you.

Lot of wire users I see. Not a fan of drilling holes or other contraptions, when you can buy 144 medium binder clips for less than $20. They clip to the edge of plastic or cloth pots, and you can easily adjust the positioning. Also very useful for power cord/string/sticky paper management.

I just stick the wire hook in the dirt to hold the limb in place.

Yeah that's what I do. I was referring to people who tie flexible wire or string to the edge of the pot.

What about using corks as weights instead?

Asking for a friend.

You can even bend the plants without any strings or anything. Just break the stem where you want it to bend and move the branch where you want it to be... It isn't low stress training at that point, but the plants will not mind really.

Wow. I seriously can't think of worse advice to give without telling people THIS IS CALLED SUPERCROPPING. It's not for beginners or for autoflowers, and needs to be done at the correct time, age etc... be very careful and try it on a couple test plants first. Then find a method that works, a bend or break in the incorrect spot and your plants will suffer.
SUPERCROPPING - A high stress training technique that should be performed with extreme caution.
You're welcome. smh.

Its not for autos or over enthusiastic people like newbs il give you that however even if you snap a branch off you should be able to duc tape it back on providing u catch it early enough ime case any new growers go over the top and read this its worth bearing that in mind bending and tying down without pinching or making knuckles is how you should start out till u got a feel for that once u got that down then you can experiment more with higher levels of training plants

It can be done with autos, I’ve had a couple autos that exploded during the stretch. Had to supercrop to move main away from light. But most auto indicas will need none. Only high sati dom autos.

I like these clips.. No ties blocking access for water and todressing..

 

[amneziaHaze]

i just make little S with wire. its good if i forget some they dont dig in to them they just strech but they are strong enough to keep the plant

I have the same ones. Love em.

 

[cannabiscrusader]

I have a whole bunch of scrap #12 and #14 romex. I just cut a chunk and pull the wires out and cut as I need them. Right to the top of the pot, like a caveman

 

[madvillian420]

binder clips and pipe cleaners for me. Both have plenty of other household uses so its a win win. The clips can be moved around throughout the grow which is a definite bonus

Holes drilled in container rim with garden ties holding branches.

I like the binder clip idea. I need to tie to the edge of the bucket to stop the plant falling over in the loose coco. The bendy clips won't do that
