that your plant has become more concerned with growing outwards
than with growing upwards.
Let us pretend that we have a plant with 8 shoots. That means
it is 4 nodes high. We perform our pruning as described and we end up
with 16 shoots, but our plant is still 4 nodes high. Now this does not
mean that we can keep doubling our shoots forever. Pruning just
pushes the plant to grow all its shoots early. If you keep pruning up
until the eighth week of vegetative growth with a plant that is 4 nodes
high, the most amount of shoots you will get will be about 32. They do
not really go beyond this factor much, but again this is strain
dependent. Now each new shoot has a junction point or a node that it
grew out from. Each node should produce some bud during the
flowering stages. It is more than possible to create a marijuana plant
that droops down over the sides hiding the pot. Not only that but
different strains grow in different sizes. It is more than possible, with
the right strain, to have a single plant cover an entire desk using this
method.
Training:
This has been discussed before in the indoor growing set-ups
with ScrOG and SOG. Training is simply the art of tying down your
plant's main stem so that it grows in a 'S' shape pattern. Mainly this is
used to prevent plants from reaching their natural height without
pruning (although you can also prune trained plants without a
problem).
