Ebay and amazon are great places, you can just get basic gardening ties and when they get bigger you can get a scrog net.

You can use pretty much anything, from pipe cleaners to wire or cords. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071CZ4BWD is the green tie you're probably thinking about.

LST
Good day! I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST. The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches. Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it? Thx!

Need tips/help with very very bushy plant
Potted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G

LST and questions in week 4 comment
I tried lst on the tallest one, I felt a rip maybe roots? Anchored and bent a little. Gorilla I tied a few branches down to let some light underneath was it worth? Good experience none the less. I also have couple questions in week 4 comment. Really loving my first Grow so far :)

Nutrient comparison experiment; to LST or not to LST
Should I do any Low-Stress Training, which I normally do, since it throws another variable in the experiment? These plants are all different sizes and if I LST I will definitely increase the yield but I feel like that interrupts the scientific process. Shoot me some thoughts.

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here
Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Low-Stress Training, Pre-flower Concerns
When low-stress training, is it better to make sure the pistils of preflowering stage are covered by leaves or are they ok to be exposed to light? I thought they may be to vulnerable for full light exposure (150w FLS led, Royal Dwarf Auto, pre-flower stage)

Too many branches?
Have tied down the 8 main branches so that all are horizontally on the same level "Circle of Buds". Now there are a mass of new branches, should I let them all grow or should I reduce them?? She has a space of 55 x 45 cm horizontally. How many buds make sense at 55cm x 45cm?

General LST questions (how am I doing?)
Should I be constantly changing the direction of the tie down on my main stem during LST or should I just be tying down new growth on bud sites? should I defoliate or use thinner ties (Using rubber coated wire) and should I let small growth grow up first or tie it down ASAP?

LST during flower
Is it okay to still perform LST during flowering? I've Been doing some very minor defoliation on tiny bud sites down low that aren't getting any light. I want to tie down some more branches but I also don't want to stress it too much at this stage. Just one week into flowing.

ScrOG training during flower
With ScrOG, during flower, how careful do I need to be about the pre-flowering hairs and early bud sites when I’m tucking branches? I’m trying to gauge how aggressively to keep scrogging vs just letting them go.

Are these from stressing the plant, or more sinister? I read somewhere that it might be a nutrient thing but I just want closure lol 👊 also quick question on when to put these bad girls into flower?
