this methode vs. super crop

Ok because I'm so new to this and i don't want to fuck my plant up. I didn't want to super crop, she was hitting the top of the cabinet and I need room for flowering. So instead; because I don't trust myself yet, I gentely tied her branches down. I did break 1, and tore 2 branches at their intersetion. This is how she is doing now.
Now, the real question is will this work or do I need to actually nut up, and bender over till she breaks ( Lol sex reference <---)

I almost forgot she is topped or fimmed or both idk what I did. I do know I did it very late, for the space in my grow box.
I also wanted to monster crop her. I could use some good info about that.

Definitely get yourself different string. The last thing you are gonna want is to have to pull little green strings out of your buds. As far as training, it looks fine. For next time, if space is an issue, start training earlier around the 3-4th node. Sometimes I get clones that have stretched too much, so i'll typically cut them down and re-clone them making them smaller. I'm afraid you are running out of room for your one bigger plant. Have you considered cutting clones off the one (using it as a mother) and having a few smaller ones in one gallons. You could let them take root and flip them into flower.

This is the only one that didn't rot. (its the thickest tallest I have tried)View attachment 3755626 the limp one didn't make it and I separated the other 2 because it seemed like a smarter ideaView attachment 3755627 these are some of the pruning a that I have tried and fails on before . pretty sure they were too small.

But I'm pretty sure this is gonna die too. I really only have high hopes for.
No I never thought of that. But I am trying with the limb I broke off. But I have to this point never had a clone go right. All my cuttings get rotted and die. I just know I'm doing it wrong I have tried with her prunings. That is a really good idea though some of my friends do know how to tho. Maybe I can offer them a clone to just show me. But in the mean time.
I have some pics of the clones I've tried and fails on and the cuttings from her

If you can, get a small clone tray with a dome and some cloning gel. Humidity is important when cloning so spraying the inside of your dome with water will help raise the humidity in your little environment. The clones you are taking are pretty small. Try and get them to be around at least 4-6 inches, and they will have a better chance of survival. It will also greatly benefit you to get some kind of rockwool/ rapid rooter to clone in. Preferably, I like to use rockwool as it breathes much better. (I'm sure if you google cloning in rockwool you will find some good stuff to go more into depth). Taking these steps, along with reading how to clone is going to up your chances of clone survival by 80-90%.

Here is a few links to help you get started.

You can get a 16 slot coco starter tray at Home Depot. Get some Rapid Rooters and Clonex. Always have a node near the bottom of your clone. Lightly scrape the bottom of the clone with an exacto knife. Dip in the bottom of the stem in the Clonex. Insert into RR (I like to use them upside down but you have to poke something through). Place in coco tray, fill remaining space with coco. Water and don't water again until it looks a little dry. If they fall over (sometimes one or two may for a day), prop them up with wire. I never cover but my humidity is always around 60-65%.
