Plant YoYo – Single

For lateral or sculptural training of plant supporting fruiting trusses. Use for orchids, roses, carnations, tomatoes and when growing under lights to train unruly crops.

The YoYo automatically tightens as the plant grows, offering support and sculptural training and therefore removing the need to constantly adjust the device. It can also be locked into position with the locking pin to support heavy cropping stems.

The spring inside the YoYo is made from stainless steel which extends the life of the material and allows it to keep its properties longer. The cover is UV stabilised to allow for long life in sunny conditions.

The YoYo can be suspended and removed with one hand and includes 170 cm of extension wire. They can also be joined to one another or to a fixed piece of twine to enable extra length to be gained.

If growing under lights in a greenhouse or indoors, you can run string or wire at the top of your room to suspend the YoYo from. Then use the YoYo to train problem trusses away from any light hotspot or dark area.

Using the Yo-Yo Plant Trainer

YoYo plant trainers are mainly for use on mature plants as they reach the end of the vegetative phase and also especially during flowering/fruiting. Plant-stems on young plants are usually too thin and delicate for this type of training. During the flowering/fruiting time, plants tend to grow upwards but not outwards, leading to the stems getting bunched together. By opening out the plant, each stem will get more light lower down, encouraging more flower or fruiting sites.

Attach the yo-yo body to the outside of your grow-space (i.e to your grow-tent or grow-room wall) via the clip. Pull the hook out and clip it around the plant-stem. The plant-stem will now be gently pulled towards the yo-yo body, opening the plant out. Use as many yo-yo’s as necessary, pulling in different directions, to open out your plant to receive more light and increase the number of flowering or fruiting sites which will eventually increase yields.

If you are lucky enough to have stems bowing under the weight of your crop at the end of the flowering or fruiting stage then yo-yo’s can be attached to the ceiling / tent-roof frame, to provide upwards support to the plant-stems. This will help prevent stems from bowing downwards away from the light and also from breaking under the weight of the produce!
