You know I admire your hard work to use a language not native to you!
Thanks bro! At first it was very difficult, now I’m already used to it .. There is still such a peculiarity, as it seemed to me that Americans, Australians, Europeans .. etc., Put up sentences in English in different ways. It is hard to understand the exact meaning. I understand this, because if someone with knowledge of the Russian language would get to the Russian forum like that, he would understand little, that's for sure. There are a lot of slang and different verbal phrases, which are composed, it seems, of simple words, but in general have a completely different meaning ..

You are absolutely right about this.

English as it is spoken in different places around the world is changing. Give it enough time and they will evolve into different languages altogether.

Very cool- I bet those last longer than the vinyl coated wire, too! I like the color, easy to spot.

You might consider vine clips, about $12 for a bag of 100, indefinitely reusable.
I looked at those early on.
I can use any length of the pipe cleaners depending on where I need to attach the plants. The two holders marked in orange are used to spread the main stems.

The basic lengths used are 3", 6" 9" and 12".

I used both; vine clips for attaching branches directly to the trellis and the soft ties for what you're doing in the pic. Are pipe cleaners cheap? Durable? Come in various lengths? Where did you source them?

The soft ties are nice but eventually they fail when the coating cracks and comes off- and they're always green which makes it a pain in the ass to find them quickly at harvest.

Cheap yes and they can be use for multiple grows, still use some of the yellows that I have used for a number of years.
Durable, yes see above.
The ones i use come in 16" lengths and I cut them to fit what I am doing.
Source is Hobby Lobby, or online.

You can get them in multiple colors, I use yellow and white as they tend to stand out against the green of the plants.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip.

The cheap soft ties came in a roll and lasted maybe 6 months before cracking. The expensive stuff was thicker and softer but harder to source and they're both annoyingly green lol

Is that the green soft ties, soft metal core with rubber coating?

If so I tried them when I did my first "Manifold" grow. Hated them from the start, stretch and break, the metal core pull out of the rubber coat.
I switched to the pipe cleaners and have not looked back.

One thing about the pipe cleaners is if you cut one you can twist them together to get the lengths you want.

Yes that's them. I found the two grades mentioned above. The cheap ones are annoyingly fragile and the better ones were nice but spendy and hard to find.

I'm definitely going to get some pipe cleaners and see how I like them.

Be sure and get the hobby ones, some are too coarse. The hobby ones are thick and soft. And when fastening do so lightly as they do have wire inside the fluff, :)

The Americans, in my opinion, greatly squeezed and simplified the English language. This can be compared to abbreviation. Shakespeare's language is of course a completely different English.

In the works of Shakespeare, more English words are involved than in the works of other authors.

Yes, it turns out pretty well.

Can you advertise your light with marijuana plants? Or is it illegal?

I wonder how the Chinese on the official website of Mars Hydro show hemp plants. Can't they have a problem with the law in China because of this?

Yes they are for cleaning smoking pipes.
I just never smoked a pipe, and none of my friends smoked a pipe, so I could not understand what it was. I did not know how to clean the pipes in general.)) In Russia and Ukraine, few people smoke pipes, except for their image or status, but this is a show off.)) I have never seen such tapes on sale .. They are probably there, but I didn’t attention to that.

PS these tapes are very expensive.)))
