You can use twist/garden ties, something hopefully with a softer plastic. If you just have wire you can always cut a straw and use it as tubing for the wire too. Just remember the point of LST is to manage the height of your plant, maintain an even canopy, as well as expose your lower growth sites to light as your new growth shades it out. As your plant matures obviously the stalk with become more rigid meaning you’ll have to bend the stalk at a higher point from the soil. You can start your LST now, but it will be minimal. You’ll just really need to bend the main to one side of the pot and tie it. It’ll firm up in that shape and you can continue to tie it down as she grows. No harm if you wait a bit too as you’ll probably end up cropping that lower growth in the end anyways. If you see the 4th/6th week of my diary you can see how tall my plants were when I started LST. Happy growing

Hello The plants are looking great this week. I was a little curious why you arent using the Grow Big instead of the Tiger Bloom while its in the vegetative state, but if its working then good. For the LST you'll want to keep some plant twist ties around, they sell at any garden store and even Walmart or home depot. Since you went and topped all the plants you could wait a week for them to recover from that and begin lst, otherwise i don't think you would have any problems with starting now nice and gently. Happy growing. ✌️

Anchor it in opposite direction you intend to bend it down. This should be fairly low on trunk (apical meristem). Bend between axillary growth, so that each can grow vertically. Try to shape and bend it with fingers, first. Get it in a good shape by bending in multiple spots that are close together. it doesn't have to be 90-degrees at one point, but you want to approach or reach horizontal above the bend on apical meristem. The restraint - tie, twist ties, whatever - just holds back hyrdostatic pressure. You may need one to prevent an arch forming. The more even it is, the more even the growth can be. Height of the axillary growth will have a say about dominance too. Bend things down and other shoots will catch up quickly.
