Thanks bro appreciate it, yeah I didn’t use a net or grow tent for most part my tent just came in today, but thanks that helped more than u know. I had no idea when to flip last time so I just made sure it was about half the size it could get, you have a solid method G

Put bamboo stakes in the side of the pot around the edges and zip tie them to the pot.
mom actually doing this as we speak. The branches on this plant are frail as hell.. the buds actually aren’t huge at all.. but they are heavy as fuck.

yeah, you can use bamboo sticks or get plant yo-yos if you don't want to put sticks in your pots. Scrogs are great like beehive says and also check out tomato rings for your next grow. They are great for spreading branches to tie off in training. When the buds are fat the main branches just lean over and the rings catch them.

Yo-Yos that support the branches and retract as they grow.

I’m going to most likely use one of those on this baby here.

I use yoyo's. I took this one a couple days ago on day 49. Don't mind the starving plant. I'm trying to do water only with top dressing and don't have it mastered yet.

They wor great. There are two levels and training is easy. Those green ones are from home depot and they come disassembled so they store well but I had to use twisty ties to secure the rings to the legs. Great looking plant!

I've never tried them but they seem like a good solution.

You can also take some butchers twine, cut it about the circumference of your plant and tie it to where it holds the branches up in a pinch too. I have many stakes and garden poles from over the years of various sizes. It depends on your necessity level. You can tie them to the support poles in your tent as well if you don’t have stakes. I’ve also tied off buds to the main stem with loop knots as to not wear on the branches or buds.

These are the ones I use. But damn all this grow shit has gotten way more expensive in the last year. Everything's like twice as much or more than it was. We need to stop teaching new people how to grow.

Oh, and I soak them in ISO for awhile to clean them. It cleans them and gets some of the sticky resin off the lines. I have always have some soaking and some ready to use.
