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 during flowering?

LST, defoliation and topping advice..
Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anything
Heading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far. First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project. Never had such a low lush profile. Looking forward to Flower

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Cutting leaf
As you can see, one of the top leaf is covering light for side branches and I can't find a good way to avoid that by tying down the plant. I can't tie down the main top beacaue I don't want to damage the first signs of flowering. Can I cut that leaf or will it damageher too much?

Does this LST look fine? Have them inside under the LEDs now that the sun is down. Primarily spend their time outside.

Should I be starting LST. Been bending to get it used to it but not tied yet
I feel like the topic is very controversial about when to start LST. Some say 3 nodes some say 6. Attached is a picture of my biggest girl so far. Lots of new growth this week so far but not the tallest yet. Open to hearing from the grow community thanks

New to growing and first time in flowering stage. How late into flowering do people train their plants by using tie downs? When should you leave your plant alone and let it grow? How late can you super crop? Thanks

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?
