spiral style

cos the girls only have 32cm to grow into, I figured I was going to have to train them somehow, and the other teks seemed kinda boring, so I thought what about spirals?

Anyone tried this?

I thought about straight spiral columns
pyramid style spirals [like big circles below, small at the top]

but I decided to try spinning top spirals [like fat and flat at the top]

Although this would shade out the lower branches, like SCROG,
It should get more surface area closer to the light, and look real pretty :)

If anyone tried this and its known to fuck things up somehow please let me know...
Its either this way, or SOG or SCROG, or flowering way early which I'm not too keen on. I thought about lowryders too, but I cant seem to get the image of spiralling bud out of my head.
Obviously I'd support them with a shitload of sticks, so as not to strain the poor things...mebbe some lst to help things along.

SOG can be done with Mature plants.... you could make a sea of green with large plants. they have to be Indica and you need several but you can. U just install a mesh over the canopy and let them all grow up against it. Doing artwork with your plants the way you desribe sounds like a lot of work and effort for something that hasnt been proven to produce predictable results each time. you are better off investing that time and energy into making clones and running in perpetual production mode.

thanks 4 input, but Im not going for yield absolutely, otherwise I would just stick to the tried and tested SOG or SCROG to get maximum yield per watt. I just wanted to do something new...and interesting [especially if it does work well]. The time and energy would just involve sticking a stick in the coco, and tying the stem to it; repeat for each plant, end of each week. 10 secs x 20 plants = 3 minutes work/week. I guess I'd rather my garden be art than mechanism. Might go back to the high yield teks if I need to..if it does turn out to be a total disaster
