It sure does! Awesome.
Im doing that from now on Michican. Awesome idea!I suggest plastic nursery pots. Fabric has no rigidity to anchor to. And just trying for horizontal flowering? Try placing pots on sides while vegging. I just transplanted into final pots at the angle back in the day. And in ground is just over water and step on the stem at base. Gently push them over. It is easy. Just don't be brutal. Anything snaps, cracks or doesn't feel right. Stop there. Try again in a couple days.

IMO starting as soon as possible yields best results. A small plant in a big pot is not optimal, but I find no problems lst'ing small plants. OP's plant was at a great size to begin. I'd bring the top a bit further down still.Regarding LST, when it comes to a small plant placed into a big pot. ...IMO wait until the branches can reach the sides of the pot. Also, if the main top is bent at 90° it should also reach the side of the pot.
I see a lot of people take a tiny plant & just pin it to the dirt. I don't think that works as well as waiting til the plant has some height & the branches some length
Try these…you can find them at Lowes or Home Depot. Easy to bend in half, round wire (so it does not scrape on the branches), and they have a return memory (they want to spring back to original straight shape so ya can pinch the ends together when inserting in the soil and they anchor in place.). Landscape staples (used to pin down sod) work too, but they are larger and have sharp edges.I'm terrible at LST, no good with string.... I want to find a way to top and bend without having to tie down. Maybe a supercropping strategy of sorts. I've had it with the garden ties and safety pins!
Ha! This is genius, I will try this!Try these…you can find them at Lowes or Home Depot.

easier than string, and non-permanent. I usually remove all mine (I use lots of them) after 3 weeks of flowering when the branches are pretty well set in their final position.
