Hershy's Training Block (failed experiment)

Welcome to the training block!
Here, i will show you how to train a block :green_square:

ha! great pun :point_up_2::point_up_2: as you will soon see!

Alright, so lets get in to why we are really here,
I am going to be growing a very very unique and wickedly shaped plant, im not sure if anyone has ever done anything like this before, so i am gonna do it here for everyone to see.

this is the plant i am currently working on and what this topic will be based around.


The master plan behind this plant is that i keep growing each branch inside an out of each other untill it’s completely tangled and basically a square block of branches.
come flowering time, the top of the block will be covered in some mighty buds coming off of it.
The idea is by making the branch and stem system so hefty there will be plenty of support for some wicked weight…

Now i would love to assume i may be one of the first to attempt something like this, but i highly doubt i am. Regardless of that, it will be a wicked and fun grow indeed!

I would like to invite anyone who may be interested in watching this little event to find out the final results! Hopefully i can attract a good audience.
Feel free to tag anyone who may be as interested as i am in watching this play out!

I have no clue what method i use. Kinda made up between a mix of different training methods. Looks like what your doing in a way tho! Not to steal your spotlight here but check it out. Would love to see the difference between how you do it compared to me. I like to trim the inner branches while training the branches down and out and once i have all my inner branches outside the pot diameter ill take off all my staples and LST clips and let them grow straight up and prepare for flower. Heres a pic of my freakshow that is just about where id like it to be training wise and my veg tent currently with all the ladies tied down



This is what they look like once their training is complete and i take off the staples and clips to allow for vertical growth

I want to tag along. You would think the branches would grow together and support their self. Will be interesting to find out.

ok, i let this one get out of hand, i have been slackin hardcore this last week on all my plants, been a very busy week.
but gonna be shaping it up today within the next few hours, will update when done

big difference after the shape up, the plant is basically using the other branches at this point to support the LST, few ties were needed as of now. most removed.

ok so it did look like this, totally forgot about this thread.

i defoled the plant today, now looks like this

i may be giving up on this little thing, tbh it didnt work the way i expected. a lot of the branches stopped growing, only the ones on top were really even getting longer. so i decided to trim it down

i plan to continue bending this in very extraordinary ways until i fill a 4x4 with it, than flower it out in the 4x4
