Hello all! Im in week 4 of flowering and was just wondering if i can use zip-ties to hold some branches up? Some of the buds are weighing them down and leaning over.. Would they be safe to use?

Also, just want to say thanks to everyone! You've definitely helped me with this grow!

You can use anything even twizzlers. As long as it won't cut or damage anything, you are good.

Personal preference is to use twine and tie it off to a metal rafter or in my refrigerator hot box I put several metal eyelets used for that, but outdoors I’ve used wooden dowel rods or garden stakes with twine and tied them off just like tomato plants. The only thing I’ve avoid is metal wire, bread ties, or anything sharp. Good Luck!

If you're worried about the zip ties being to abrasive wrap them in a bit of tape where the stem rests on it.

If you do ever use string make sure it isnt the frayed shit with little strands that are going to fall on and stick to your buds.
I know because i did it before. Lol
