It is deff. a good idea, but this process is called LST, there are many posts on it in the advanced growing section of the forums. Doing this makes every budding site more even, and gives you more quality bud. good job discoverign it on your own tho =D

im doing something of the same process but doing mine in a spiral up then pulling the top down the middle...just starting to grow but i did this with my catnip plants and some other plants that i grow...just just kind of a neat thing to do and it grows big but stays short if you prune leaves and such....nice twirling viney buddy flower baby! in one of my threads it shows some of my plants as described...kind of a fun thing to do when you have a lot of time on your hands...

There is a theory in supercropping that if you stress the stem at nodes between buds, that the plant will send more energy to that area (and the buds past the stress) to try to fix it.

Supercropping typically involves pinching and twisting the stem below a bud to create minor internal damage to the plant will overcompensate to fix it.

I imagine once the damage is repaired, that the plant goes back to business as usual.

Check out the info in the FAQ and the site regarding supercropping and LST.

Looks like your doing an unintentional hybrid of the two.

And it looks good.
