Brilliant. I definitely going to use this technique, also I think this post deserves a bump.

hey there fdd, I know you are a busy man and always so helpful on this site, but could you either post an updated pic of this plant on this thread or give us a page number for that thread you sent us to. It's just a bit difficult to look through 50 pages of a thread to find a picture of this specific plant. Beautifully simple idea.

I had a friend (head of security for Disneyland of all things) who was a masterful aquarist and even better grower. He bonsai'd all his plants, but did most of it via trimming. They were literally dwarfed Cannabis, with dwarf-sized buds and everything.
This is actually a variation of what I'm thinking of trying, although at times ScrOG seems a bit easier, too. Fortunately I don't have to make up my mind just yet.

I am growing in a smaller space, and want to use the most of it. I am trying sog in the bottom middle section, and i am lst'ing to capture any of the light from the top and the sides. Kinda like a canopy around the sides and sides of the top.Seems to be working pretty good for me.

i doubt it. the branches will be to stiff to bend.
hi FDD
i would love too ask a few questions.
i myself am doing an LST plant it was seeded on 9th september and 7 days ago started showing female pre flowers. i have my female in an 8 inch pot only and did not expect her too flower within a month. to be honnest i could have an autoflower but i am not sure. the plant had never seen a 12/12 and only ever grown under a 15hr light regime with 2x 20w CFL.
my plant if was growing skywards would be around 1.5 foot high. as soon as i noticed the pre flowers i also noted the plant producing alot of side shoots and these are nearly as tall as the main top, plant has been trained around the outside of the 8 inch round pot. but these side shoots i am worried about. they just keep growing higher and higher.
is it possible too train these young sideshoots coming from the nodes. at the moment i have been putting all my effort into keeping the plant as low as possible. i also have problem with large fan leaves also looking/climbing towards the lights and cutting off light too the lower nodes. i am realy out of my depth now so would like your advice on what i should do. im realy scared of trying too tie down the very fragile side shoots. they are around 2 - 3 inch high. the whole plant itself is no more than 3 inch high maxium and i am growing out of space real quick in this pot. would i be safe too re pot her when she is flowering ? should i remove these side shoots and clone them or will they make new cola's/tops.

you can tie the side shoots down or take cuttings, either will work.
those leaves aren't blocking light they are collecting light. the plant uses this to grow.
you can repot it as well.
awesome and thank you FDD
only the first 3 nodes have sideshoots around 3 inch high. the other side shoots are showing but are taking longer too grow, they are no way anywhere in high too the others. i try keeping the top of plant higher than the sideshoots. i was told plant puts energy too the tallest point so this should be the top. but all the lower (3nodes) shoots are outgrowing everything else. took your advice and tied down the taller sideshoots
thank you

oh yeah, and fucking right faded i cant even believe you actually finished trimming, it must have taken hours on end, upon hours.
