Could I achieve this LST result? please

Hello guys ! How'ya doing

I've been LSTing my girls but i am questioning if I could achieve something like the first pic (awesome)

Do you guys have any thoughts on it? I am just 'stretching' her stems by tying them, so the new ones, hopefully, could grow (maybe 2-3", then bloom) and afterwards she produces many mini buds. I actually thought of topping all the 'main' stems (14 right now), but mine were regular seeds so i am afraid of stressing her too much and she turns hermaphr. I already said 'she' because there are already female pre-flowers *.*

But in my mind's picture, without topping, they'll grow like 'weed' lol, but will they? or these minor new ones could just stay as popcorns?

Thx!

Set:
150w common house led bulbs, 50w 6500k, 100w 3000k
Peat moss + vermiculite + wormcastings + little dirt (helps stabilize substract ph)

The idea with LST is just to tie down the taller branches to give other bud sites a chance to reach the canopy level you've decided on. I also like mainlining a plant, which includes a lot of tying down, you can really create any shape you want. The idea is, since our little artificial "suns" just hang over our plants and don't move, we want to create a flat canopy so all of the bud sites receive a uniform amount of light. There is a lot of room in this idea for creativity with your LST, I've seen some incredibly cool pics here and in other forums. Also, look up pics of espalier apple trees for fun. I wish I were as creative as some of you.
 
All those stems growing off your plant will get significantly bigger when it flowers. They should be good sized buds not mini.

I was really surprised how big my plants got during my first grow.
