Tying down limbs with grow bags.

I need to start tying down branches and bending over tops on my Blue Dream Haze girls, but I've got grow bags and anchoring ties to them would rip the bags. I can obviously anchor to the sides or floor, or even ceiling of my cabinet but then I couldn't move the plants around after that. I thought of a tomato cage, which I've used plenty of times, but don't really want to take up much more space.Will if I have to though. I've come to the conclusion that I've either got to go with the tomato cages, or use something heavy on top of the soil as an anchor point. Adding a heavy weight is not something I'd like to do much either, as it compresses the soil and pests/mold will inhabit the underside. I thought of using strips of duct tape to reinforce the plastic so I can poke anchor holes in it, but I don't want to start stabbing holes in the bag and end up with a fucked plant and soil everywhere. Anybody have suggestions? All ingenuity and creativness is very much appreciated. + Rep for a viable solution.

I don't know how much room you have, but couldn't you just get a few red bricks from the local Home Depot and use them as your anchor points? You know, just tie your twine or ribbon around them and then lay them around your bags?

And not to change the subject, but what's Blue Dream Haze?

Blue Dream Haze is BlueberryxHaze.I think. If I did that than it would be a major hassle getting them in and out of the cabinet or trying to reposition them. I think I'm just going to end up buying a couple tomato cages.

Alright, sweet.I was waiting for someone to agree with me on it.I was thinking of cutting a circular piece of 2x2 wire mesh and attaching it to the top of the tomato cages as well, so it's fully contained. From what I understand, Blue Dream is almost the same thing as BDH. Just different Haze parents used. Lol it's actually funny you mention that outdoor is your dish, which is where I have most of my experience as well. I've never really had to deal with 5' tall cabinet before in any case. I can create some monsters, but this time they've got to be mini monsters.
