Training in a bubble bucket?

For those of you that LST in a bubblebucket or system, how do you tie down the plant? More specifically, what do you tie it to? Do you drill holes in the bucket's lid? Tie it to the net pot?

You hit it opn the head with the hole drills! That's the way I always do it. Check out uncle bens topping tek as well. Good luck bro!

I use fishing weights on my plants early in growth to keep em short and make em strong.

Thats a good idea! I am a fisherman myself. what do you fish for?

If you go to Home Depot and purchase their buckets and lids, the lid is perforated (holes) for helping to release a sealed lid. These holes work with tieing down an PVC frame holding a piece of fencing. I use wire twists to gently hold and carefully guide the branches. The frame is sturdy and will last a lifetime. When you want to harvest the plant, just remove the fencing's zip-ties (holding the fence to the PVC frame), clip the plant/pull the roots, detach the fencing/plant from the PVC frame, and hang the fence and attached plant upside down for curing. Build a curing box that allows the screeen to be easily placed inside for a no fuss transitionfrom bloom to cure.

I think that my problem is access into my reservoir. I have a tough tub and a bucket, and the access into the reservoir is where the net pot sits. If I tie down around that, I have to lift the whole lid.

I do not know what a tough tub looks like, but my PVC-framed LST system is locked to the lid also. This helps me on switching out the reserves and flushig the root system. Where the lid/net pot goes so does the PVC frame. From my vantage point, this is te easiest and most efficient way to maintenance the DWC with no harm occurring to the plant.

I like bass fishing the best but trout is delicious.

Add the fish to your soil,you'll get monsters haha

A pic with your setup would help us help you, but you can basically just tie the string around your plant and tie it ANYWHERE, go 30 ft across the room if you have to. Or just pull it to the ground and tape it
