Tie down plants

[lydiab]

Hi
I don't use fishing line or anything that's recommend I use clothes pegs you hang the washing out with . I clip 3-4 pegs onto the top part of the stem and after 3 days i take them off and the plant is now bent over , this helps the light reach the bottom part of my plants. Don't believe me try it and you see. I think fishing line is way too fine for plants and can cut through the stem . I hadn't any and my plants had become to tall , so I looked about and tried the pegs .Cheers for reading , you can always find a way around things

Hi
Finally managed to put some on,the colour is a little out because my lights are on . The first pic is the first plant I tried W/W, and up to now it has not grown back up , but all the rest of the buds are now getting maximum light. Try it and see you have nothing to lose and its a cheap way of tieing down plants and its less stress on the plant you can use as many as you need. xxxx

Pegs are cheaper and its not as fiddly ...Lydia
