New training method?

I think that photo was one of my inspirations. However, that person knew what the hell was going on. It's a great shape for a small space. This is where the twisting happens. Like KenPiffy, the main branch gets twisted 90 degrees when each successive set of leaves is strong enough to be twisted. Every leaf/flower node gets exposed to light. Or give it little twists at a time to keep it rotating. I gave the stalk a good bend when it was young to get some supercropping going.
This is how it wound up. In the end, each of the buds were equally paltry. Equally. Please forgive the butchery.
 
No idea why this created a new post...

No supercropping is pinching the stem to make it weak lay it down hold it up till the knuckle heads I'm talking about takeing nebulas manifolding technique and when I cut the 2 tops 3 nodes up I take the 2nd node and twist it partially deffinatly not to the extreme your doing but all I have is one on each top growth I have to force in line with the others and hold them there for at least 3 weeks it doesn't seem to affect my plants but again I stop after one twist
 
The right pressure! I used to accidentally break a main branch in the main lining training; the plant became three arms! In order to distribute the subsequent growth evenly, I made a twist; I made the plants three branches evenly; I got a surprise! After about 15 days, I found that the twisted stems had extra expansion at the joints and they were very thick! (Stalks are plants that absorb nutrients from the roots to transport nutrients to the apex and branch channels, the shorter and wider the channels; the top nutrients will be able to get more!) This will lead to big colas! All training on harvesting; I will follow the 3 principles~1: Let plants build strong roots, 2: Let plants give maximum light and nutrients in the digestible range (they need balance data!), 3: Try to transport nutrient channels ~ stems! Become stronger! Of course; skills and theory I have been learning; thanks to the great website, thanks to the nebula and the experience sharing of all the great growers! Cheers
 
KenPiffyJR I've given this idea some thought and to a certain extent I think I do something similar but all together different.

Explanation: I twist branches all the time, we have to in order to get the growth tips to face the direction we want them. I always top my plants at least once and normally I leave 2 sequential nodes on the main so I can create an “X”. In an effort to get all the side branches to face up, I twist each branch so both sides are parallel. Where we differ is that I alternate the direction of the twist with each new node on a particular side of the branch, this allows me to keep the nodes parallel without constricting the feeding properties of the branch.

Conclusion: While I don’t twist the main stem, I don’t see anything wrong with twisting stems. We don’t do things exactly the same, but if what you’re doing works for you, keep doing it!!
