LST clips
Curious if anyone uses these and how they work. I've been using pipe cleaners to tie down but not bend really. Here's what I found that looks okay.

Re: LST clips
Okay, I'm bringing this subject back up. I bought a bunch of the clips and I'm curious if anyone has some tips tricks or warning about using these. I'm about 4 weeks from popping so I'll be using these soon.

Re: LST clips
Clothes pegs and plant wire/soft ties do the trick for me

Re: LST clips
I've tried similar clips before but find tying down works better. With the clips you just end up with lots of little s shape stems

Re: LST clips
Thanks I'll keep that in mind. I have been using the soft covered wire and tying branches down. I thought I'd give these a try and will probably end up using a mixture of both.

Re: LST clips
You may have to keep an eye on them for stems becoming too fat within the clips, i did with original typo bends, they were sound on thinner younger shoots though but not so on thicker stems. Tbh the bendz i think were a bit gimmicky not really strong enough, these look really different though. I shall have to keep eye on these see how you fair Grumpy, maybe keep us informed in this thread if that's cool mate. Cheers Grumpy.
