Lower branches sagging over, string?

As you can see (lower right) buds are starting to weigh down lower thin branches, just get some string & attach to my trellis net for support? Any specific string type you guys use?

Don't use jute as the little hairy strings will stick all over the buds, ask me how I know . Waxed gardening twine works but I really like plastic coated wire because it's stiff and you can do more with it than string. It can be used to brace plants up and train them in ways that string just can't. I used to cut little clips out of it to spread my really dense indica buds out from the stem for better airflow to prevent rot.

Fairly easy fix - garden wire ( as mentioned ) or simple kite string ( tight woven ) - loop at contact points of trellis.

BTW looks like there is some feed hijinks going on with that plant.

I use thhn electrical wire for lst and holding branches where I want as well. 12 or 14 gauge solid wire works great and when done comes out easily.

Yup, it's a nightmare.. right after the stretch I was giving fish/kelp & the whole thing started yellowing from the bottom/center (at first) then up. About 30 days left, not sure if it will make it but I'm trying my best.

I also like garden wire. Next time try multiple layers of trellis netting. I like the cheap poly stuff with 3" squares.

As hook daddy suggested. Some solid core electrical wire. 100ft of it will last you a while.

This was $3, it's plastic coated twist-tie wire. That should work fine right?

Yes that will work. It’s not as stiff as electrical wire but will get the job done.
