@HydroKid239 I think that tying down encourages horizontal growth, I switched to using stakes and just tying the branches apart and moving them every couple weeks or adding in more, stopped the plants from growing so stubby. Netting is the best way to do it for me. I legit just top the shit out of them after doing my "haggard mainline", then I move them to flower under the 2 layers of netting and weave them through 6" squares.
They start out like this, a lil taller then go to flower and I keep lights at a set height so they reach for them during stretch.
