Is the plant an auto or photo flower, that is the question. Auto flowers can be very susceptible to stress and when you only have an average 10 week grow period, you need to KNOW your children to decide if you want to train them and how. Some auto’s I top, some I LST (most) and some I DO NOT TOUCH.
Photo periods - they can take MUCH more manhandling
Strains -some have inherent issues where they get nanners / hermies. Gorilla Glue is known to give you these if you stress it too much. Sativa’s like to grow tall and lanky and many of us bend them over so they fit under the lights. Indica - usually shorter. SOG, SCROG - these metthods of training produce the GREATEST RETURN…just look at @dmtscravey - that is only 2 plants and he will gross close to a pound…a most excellent grow
Environment - if you do not have height to let them stretch, you start to change the grow pattern from vertical to horizontal
So, there are reasons for each methods and reasons to not touch them. Benefits, pitfalls. The more you grow, the more you learn. The more you pick the brains of the people here, the less trial and error you have to face. No need to reinvent the wheel
That is so crazy looking, talk about training, WOW
This puts a whole different perspective on growing, this is truly amazing work. The room you are allowing it to grow gives it space, light and aeration, which in turn will make it nice and healthy. I truly admire your thinking but mostly your courage to do so.

As a newby here I am grateful for the amount of experience and information but I am even more grateful that you are not shy about your passion. I have been a pasionate gardner since childhood. I have considered growing for a few years. I have studied and researched and worked on expenses etc. My passion transfered to growing weed immediately. I am honored to share my passion with this community and thank you for allowing me to do so
