When it comes to tying down plants, you want something that's gentle and won't damage the stems. Soft, flexible materials like garden twine, strips of cloth, or even old nylon stockings work well. You can also find special plant ties at garden centers that are designed not to harm the plant.
great question most people will probably say to use something made for tying plants down or to use some type of twin I personally say that is fine as long as you donāt wrap it super tight around the plant. Just keep in mind the plant will grow so leave it some room to get bigger
Also when you are tying down plant also keep in mind when you are tying down branchās make sure to let them grow some vertical growth atleast a couple nodes b4 flipping to flower it really canāt stunt how much a plant will grow in the strech when you have the branchās all tied down and weak you gotta make sure they recover and have fast growth and make sure itās growing leaves in a normal pattern if itās making small leaves still then you want to hold off flipping to flower you will get a lot more bud weight by doing this probably 2x as many bud sites
Also remember when you are bending branches to tie them down becarfull not to snap them
Also b4 you tie a branch down its always good to work it out a couple times b4 tiring it down for good what I mean is for a week every other day bend the branchās down and then leave them and let them grow back up and if you do it every other day it will stiffen up the branchās a little b4 tieing them down
Alāso any branch about as think as a pencil or more you can squeeze it a little and almost like message it and kinda bend the branchās back and forth and make them all jelly like what you want to hear/ feel is small little snaps inside of the branch this is the inner part of the branch breaking you want this to happen it will grow back way stronger and branchās that have had this done a lot to will grow way way bigger buds if you ever see those pics where ppl have thick stems on a small plant and the steams almost look twisted thatās what they did slowly twisted them to make them has hard as a tree branch
Good luck youāre doing great. The stuff you have will work I use all kinds of stuff laying around the house when Iām broke and canāt afford this or that
