Your plants are fine don't worry about others that grow their plants differently. They're your plants. If you want to grow them the way you did that's your business. I grow plants naturally like that all the time.
I don't see what the big deal is that the OP let their plants grow the way they did. I flower plants all the time without doing any training other than a supercrop here or there sometimes nothing. Some of us don't veg and train for months. We veg a short time and flower. Some may not want to spend a bunch of time training for SCROG or LST. I can start a plant from seed and be close to harvest in the time some spend training in veg. I go for more quicker turnaround rather than a long veg and a larger harvest. I see many growers spending months training their plants. That's fine but not the only way to grow. I'd go SOG before I spend months training LST or SCROG. Set them and forget them is how I like to grow. I'm done fiddling with cannabis plants. I want to grow them with as little effort required as possible. But I understand that some enjoy spending time playing with their plants. I'd rather play with my dogs in the backyard.
