I don't think there is a way to not have any branches... It more a question of chance and / or strain.

any pros out there?

That looks like it was a clone- see how the plant goes all the way to the dirt? Often a from-seed plant will lose low leaves simply because it takes a month of two to show sex, and during that time, low leaves dying off is fairly natural.
So to grow a plant like that, first start out with an indica strain (which that appears to be).
Grow out a few seeds, pinch the seedlings after the 5th node has formed (so you get more clones and more chance of survival of at least a couple) and after 4-6 weeks, label them and take clones of them. You can write on the leaves in sharpie.
Then when the clones have rooted, put a clone from each mother plant into flower. The females will actually finish looking like that.
Plus since you labeled them (you DID, right? :wtf: haha), now you know which mothers are mothers and which are actually dudes, and you can kill the males.
You can decide which mother produced clones that gave you the nicest reuslts, and keep her and take cuttings off her as long as you want. She has to live under 18/6 or 24/0 light to be happy and not flower off and die.

cheers, u didnt bother typing all that out did ya? i was hoping you could just chop a few a few branches

[jammin26]

i cant be bothered with cloning either i always grow from seed

Yes I bothered typing that out, why? I don't re-post shit from other sites without saying where it came from, don't worry.

You can chop branches I guess but it's going to be tall and skinny, not like that. The closest you can get is a LowRyder, that flowers quite small.

You can't be bothered with cloning? I never understood that myself. Unless you're growing an auto-flowering strain, cloning is quicker and more productive than growing from seed and once you know how the clones flower, each clone will flower the same.

Stinky has already answered your question; that plant is a clone that has had the branches trimmed.
