i dont have a camera right now but ill try to get some pics up of some stuff i've made.
checkmark: you can do it with female stems, any kind of cannabis plant will work
and you just pull the fibers off the branch yea kinda like string cheese i guess, then braid them together, let it dry for a day or 2 and voila you have some of the strongest rope around

when i get my grow up and running ill have the lights hanging from hemp and the plants tied down with hemp and pretty much anything else i need string for ill use hemp...its free and strong, i luv it lol
