You can easily get a plant to grow like a vine by simply bending it over gradually as others above have mentioned (LST). Out doors I use loops of pantyhose around the main stem and then tie the loops to 40 to 60 lb clear monofilament fishing line to pegs in the ground. The panty hose is very strong and it stretches nicely to accommodate growth and high winds as a shock absorber.
I have used tomato plants in containers surrounding ganja plants in containers in a suburban neighborhood with great success.
The tomatoes blend in nicely and provide great camouflage. IMO, containers are a better way to go because they can be moved if the need arises.
With containers you can also start flowering early by moving into a darkroom each evening. I used to move all of my tomatoes and bud plants into the garage every evening. (Keep the tomatoes away from killer deer).
The neighbors never noticed because I would put the plants into a wagon to move with the ganja disguised by the tomato plants.
Good Luck
