It's always funny when I'm harvesting giant plants and I cut a branch off that has been splinted and wrapped with duct tape....I consider those special buds....
Duct tape and a piece of bamboo support pole is all ya need.....if mine split down the main stem late in flower because of weight.....I take some small cotton rope I have...soak it in water and then wrap the stem with multiple tight layers of the rope.....once the rope dries it gets even tighter.....always have good results....but nowadays I just support my plants to avoid such things....usually any problems are from me being stoned or impatient while training and breaking shit.....GL
Duct tape FTW
