you can my friend but as organic says it can get hard and easily break i use tie down wire its like 3 pound for like 50 meters of the stuff you certainly get your moneys worth anyway you can use anything though pipe cleaners are another really good cheap option which even have padding around to keep your girls nice and comphy haha yes i am that sad lol best of luck anyway pal :)

Pretty much anything can be used to do LST. I use hemp yarn ( didn't specifically search for that, was readily available near me ). Most importantly you don't want to hurt the plant but if you do they bounce back pretty fast. I've snapped a few branches and just taped them up with no issues. Good luck and happy growing.

Can use anything mate but I would of thought yarn under heat would get brittle after a while. I use garden ties. Good luck friend ❤️🌱👍🏻

To LST or No LST?Does practicing LST on autoflowers actually increase your yield? I ask this because I look at people who grow without any training at all and they seem to have way more bud sites. I prefer an answer from someone who has experience growing both ways. ThanksWeek 9

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?Week 3
