I call it “Bondage Training” while Syn says I am Frankenstein. WARNING! These pictures are very graphic, they will most likely make you cringe, and people with weak stomachs or bad hearts should not view them!

Strikes me as “Low Stress Training” Although taken a bit further as most of the times the bends aren’t as extreme. There still isn’t an actual crushing of the inside of the stems to classify it as high stress.
I’ve done a lot of this in my time. Can definitely train some beasts that yield massive buds doing stuff like this. Although over time I’ve gotten lazy and just let my plants do what they want lol!
Some bondage on one of my ladies hehe

Thats actually 4 different plants of the 21 I have going atm. I have trained them like this for a long time, and they always pay me back ten fold. Mind you the ones in these pics were my badly stunted plants that I almost lost. I moved, and last grow lost 12 of 16 in the first watering because the water was so off at new place.

Yes I based it off mainlining. For me in these pics my plants have a ton of leaves as I normally have 2 fan leaves, and the top growing. I had a massive heart attack Aug 26th, and “caretaker”/“helper” aka wifey doesn’t feel comfortable torturing my plants lol. I actually keep them bent upside down most of the grow until I hit final veg or when I am letting them grow a couple nodes vertical before topping.
Normally do the first topping at the 1st or second node once each of the branches is about 4" tall. Stretch the plant so those tops are 12" - 24" apart depending on the strain, and number of plants. Then top it again, and spread those 4 tops 12’ - 24" apart. If I am growing big sativas, and short sativas/indicas at the same time I will top the tall plants again. If I am growing one plant I will top twice spread them each 24" apart, top 2 more times spreading them each 12" apart. I always wait for each main not plant to reach around 2ft the flip.
Much thicker branches, bigger buds, and heavier rosin production.
I also always keep 9 to 15 autos growing around my photos while I train, and veg. Give me a decent harvest every 77 to 80 days. Have a 2x2 breeder tent that I use the SOG technique to speed up the breeding process. Those I don’t train.
I am limited on strains. I can’t grow Cherry Pie as it hermies in a heart beat, had a lemon haze hermia on me once, and a power plant slightly hermie on me once.

ty I might also add that is without any nutes. I use nothing but living soil, and add 1 TBSP of molasses to every gallon of water once or twice a month.
