Wanted to mention too that I'm sure y'all noticed I used rubber bands & twist ties to lst & it probably looks strange. At the time I happened to have a bunch of rubber bands so I started using them temporarily but they worked so well I kept it up. I don't plan to continue using them but they worked great for my 1st time trying my hand at lst. They are forgiving due to the stretching so it's much harder to break a stem, you can choose different thicknesses like a fat one to anchor the stalk or a thin one to fit between close nodes, when they need to be moved down the stem you can just grab them and stretch them open and move it down to a new spot, and if you bump a branch against something in a crowded grow box the rubber band gives so nothing is broken off. Also you can loop them together or tie a knot to shorten them then easily untie it if needed. I like to bend a branch so far...then later use the twist tie to tighten it more & more and the rubber band gives enough to make it safer to do so.
I'm not a rubber band freak or nothin' like that
