I remember coming across a thread on LST a couple of years ago ... where this tie down method was used, but instead of training the main stem to go straight in a selected direction, it was trained to circle in an expanding spiral shape.

For those that train their plants already, you'll know the newer growth near the branch end, is a LOT more pliable, and actually not that difficult to coax into a circular shape ... so if you were doing this regularly, shaping the main stem into a spiral formation, parallel with the ground with multiple points onto a horizontal rebar screen at top-of-the-pot level is very doable.

You'd want it to be a fairly loose spiral, to give the side branches room to develop within the spiral itself, but the structure you could create could be REALLY interesting, and has the potential to create a plethora of 'tops'.

The skeleton, once harvested, would be funky!!
 
Ok now imagine two pots under the screen, one plant planted close to the edge of each pot, then placed back to back with each other, send one north one south….. can you see it…Epic. :bighug:

has similarities with the 'manifold' method ... except with a two plant scrog instead of the single plant manifold.
 
Or even simpler…a very low level ScrOG, of course if you put the screen that low…you would never be able to get under it to do anything.i'm trying to think of another way to set up the rig to push this idea a little further. It think with the right rig 40 tops per plant maybe achievable.

That makes perfect sense. I run my screen pretty low at 6" but it's still not low enough to get the first set of branches to reach the screen before they get covered. And you're right you can't run the screen much lower than that.

Plants are looking great, looking forward to flowering! :thumbsup:
