Just be careful once the plant is more than a month or two old - I tried tying the plants down too late, and you will face great difficulty. It can be done, but not to the same extent as young plants. Young plants can be negotiated to bend 90+ degrees, whereas I snapped a plant of mine the other day trying to tie a plant that was too old and the stem was too firm. As I said, you can do it, but go SLOW SLOW SLOW and dont try to bend it too far - it will snap. I snapped one just last week, then I googled the problem, and used a bandaid to help it fix itself. However, it then grew in a very unpredictable direction (the bandaid allowed flexibility for the stem to move) and grew into the light and got torched. It was very tragic - afterwards I held a memorial service with a 21 bong salute! Ha ~ :jointsmile:
GratefulDawg Reviewed by GratefulDawg on . Tie the plant down I have a plant that is 2 feet tall and growing. Its about 5-6 weeks old. Is it too old to tie down? I need my other plants to catch up but if this one keeps growing, I am going to run out of room fast! Rating: 5
