oh, one thng i'd change-- an anchor at the base. Secure base of stem to opposite side of where you bent it down. This prevents the force from agitating the roots and slowly pullingn the plant sideways in soil instead of bending above the soil. shape the bend before you secure it.. bend it, make it weak but don't crush vascular tissue. I used to bend it in 3 spots close to each other to form a near 90degree bend before it was secured - reduces any pull on roots etc. Should not feel any damage occuring but it should nearly retain its bent position before you attach it to side of the pot. any limbs facing directly down should be pruned off. If you need a tone of branches, bend down between the axes of growth (45-degrees between) and you can have each pair growing out sideways from main stem (apical meristem).

You really can't do LST wrong. you are simply breaking "apical dominance." The highest node will take the most resources and grow the most. By leveling something or restraining something so that is lower than other growth nodes, you spread out resources differently in the plant, which results in a more even growth rate or possible allowing somethign to catch up to a taller branch that is restricted temporarily. It's a tool to manipulate the plant. So, it is always best to work backward from what you want at the end in regard to your canopy. Try to have 1 colas per 6in^2. Where you bend the plant down is the best point to achieve that. e.g. you want 12 colas... you'll want maybe 6 branches coming out after LST anan then top them all once they spread out enough. Now, you have 12 growth tips ready to grow vertically.. Some training necessary to keep it even, too. hinder faster growth, help slower growth... once even it can be leveled out again. Shape it to fit the space it is responsible for.
