Is zip ties strong enough to support heavy buds on branches?

Yes but I found they dig too hard into stem eventually causing damage that effects efficiency of the nutrient distribution.

Yeah, even some dainty ones should be able to hold enough weight. Not talking about a bowling ball or anything. The thickness may impact wither it cuts into the cuticle. e.g. cheap, thin garden wire can do that quite easily. I don't think zip ties get that thin though, eh?
