If you used thin fishing line and not FAT SOFT garden wire, you risk guillotining you plant. Once my tomato cage wire snapped heavily bent plant.. I would bent more, way more. Target is to brake dominance of main top. It should be lower than rest of canopy. Most of my grows are with LST. Check this for example : growdiaries.com/diaries/27468-dr-krippling-incredible-bulk/week/129882 There is plenty of knowledge, how to bend, where to position, how to plan all LST for having enough space for all branches around pot. Done wisely , it does magic. Some say anchor main stem, i usually did without. Never let leaves touch medium, they sweat otherwise and troubles starts .. Tuck leaves daily to expose side branches for light. Tie girls ONLY on watering day, otherwise you risk to snap something. Do it and then water girls...

Ja binde sie runter eine LST bei Automatics und auch bei photoperiodischen Pflanzen steigern einen gleichmäßigen Ertrag. Ich trainiere alle meine Pflanzen und somit bekomme ich einen besseren Ertrag als wenn ich sie so wachsen lasse. Kannst ja mal bei mir vorbei schauen und dir eine Idee machen. Aber dein Ansatz ist gut. Mach weiter so

Yes, try to tie them down. But be careful. You can gently massage the spot where you want to bend the plant beforehand to make it more flexible. I find bonsai wire ideal, but if you have the option, you can also 3D print hooks, which hold very well in the substrate. If you're interested, I can send you a link. Good luck!

If its an auto you'll get more off her if you leave her if you've not done it before.A lot of autos arent suited to training.Check out the supplier and see what they say about training.Hydrids are the best.The more indica its got in it the more chance it has of staying short.

She is likely a little short to be benefitting tremendously from this, but any tilt you achieve will open up that canopy horizontally - so yes. You can always back the lights off or turn them down some to incentivize stretching some for more wiggle room if you want to rush the training some, otherwise looks good for now.
