VIVOSUN 12 PCS Retractable Plant Yoyo with Stopper for Grow Support in Tent Garden or Hydroponics, Yellow

These work great either when doing LST to hold branches down or during flowering to support the heavy ladies. I would recommend these long before the cheap branch crutches.

Can be used for used for many things ,like I don't just use them to hold hevey branches up I also use when drying like in the picture ,there not super strong but still stronger then I thault thay would have been and a pretty simple to use and can find many uses for them in and out of the garden :)

I used these to hold up the weight of my buds until harvest time, they worked nicely. The only issue is a couple of them wanted to fall apart at the release button that is spring loaded. So, just be careful to watch how you unhook and reload the string back into the housing, otherwise it will pop off and youll be chasing the springs.

These are simple devices. Works the way that they are supposed to work. Nothing more to say.

These work great two different ways in by pulling gently or holding a firm pressure. On the continuous pull setting it pulls gently while giving or taking up slack from movement like a fishing reel. On the firm hold setting it holds firmly without giving up any slack.

Definitely get the ones that use one hook and not two. Having an extra hook to deal with when you trying to manuever around buds and branches only adds to the stress. I decided on trying these out because I've seen people use them but they're more of a pain in the you know what then anything else. Cheaply made and the string is plastic so I was concerned about my lights melting the string because it's so thin. The retracting mechanism feels like it's ready to break and the whole thing is garbage. Another gimmick in my opinion. First off you need string to attach these to and the hook is tiny. I tried using the string from my light hangers and a few times of that will definitely snap the plastic bit off and then it's in the trash. They make ones that seem to be of better quality so perhaps I should give one of those a shot. Next...

I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH BUDS GETTING SO HEAVY THEY'D ACTUALLY BRAKE LIMBS, THESE ARE SO COOL, I BOUGHT 2 PACKS OF 12, AND USED 11 OF THEM FOR BRANCH SUPPORTS, EVERY ONE WORKED EXACTLY AS DESIGNED... I GIVE THEM A 5 STAR RATING AND WOULD BUY AGAIN IF NEEDED. UPTHANK YOU VIVOSON FOR ANOTHER CLEVER TOOL!!

The media could not be loaded.  These look decent enough and should do the trick. They did stink a lot coming out of the bag.

Did a great job holder up my cucumber and tomato plants

Work good

My buddy told me.... Stake em up. Stubborn me 'naaah they should be fine'. Plants began falling due to weight causing a domino effect. What a nightmare. Should have put in a net earlier but at this point it was too late. Always knew about these but dismissed them thinking they werent worth my while. Wrong. They saved my butt. Ordered 4 bags. While I could have strung them by hand this just made it SO much easier for me. Took me 3 nights to get in everywhere and pick it all up without damaging them and yoyo them up. Now all the girls are happy as clams growing verticle and not horizontal. Phew! Big weight (literally) off my shoulders. There's better methods to use if you plan ahead but in a pinch or to hang up a few bigger branches without having to trellis these things are the bees knees. They did have a smell to them but I'm assuming that's just the plastic off gassing. I'm sure they aren't made with the highest quality plastic but that doesn't matter to me. Im not consuming the plastic... What matters is my plants are standing upright again with the least amount of effort rather than adding netting etc.Recommended 100%

Work as intended, only bad side, smell a bit funky at first
