i use "sturdy-twists" its the same as twist ties but comes in a 50 meter roll and only costs a couple bucks. its great for LST since you can make the ties any length and are easy to put on and remove. check my grow log to see what i mean.

those ghostly orbs are most likely dust refracting light during the camera flash or cfls, guess i been watching to much ghost hunters to know that lol.
