Can you use smart pots to LST? Just wondering if they are strong enough to hold down a stem if i hole punched some holes around the edge.

Or am i better off sticking with solid pots and buckets?

youll be fine. those pots are quite strong. I did it in my last grow, however i did find it was a bit easier with traditional pots

You can tie branches to base of main stem! Just not too tight as stem can thicken quickly. I do this alot. Works good!!
 
Watched a neat little vid on YouTube the other night on just this topic , the guy had bought ( I can’t remeber the name lol ) but basically a hole punch that put like a metal ring doughnut on the pot he done four 1 opposit the other then ran gardening wire through and round thus creating a nice anchoring point for attaching to , easy work and A dam good idea

Hi Guys,
For what it's worth...I use barbless fishing hooks through the fabric attached to bonsai wire. Learning manifold training. Haven't tried it with big branches yet.

I use a 16 penny nail and poke holes as needed. Nail goes through with no problem. Get green plant wire, make a hook on one end and hook the branch feed through the hole.
