Can Anybody help?

ok, well, right now they are inside, just a couple weeks old, they have just recently begun to smell, i am going to put them outside asap, so if i understand this right, by tying and training them to grow horizontally, i will get a shorter plant, more tops, and more tops means more buds right? yes i do need some stealth, but my main goal is to get as much smoke as possible in a short outside season, and as for topping and cloning, you mean cutting the tops off and planting them right?

cloning is a little bit of science but not much, put your plants outside and bend them down, all the buds along the stem will change direction and head for the sun, turns one crown bud into many all along the plant, train over a few days so you dont snap. i usually dont tip (top) same same, when they are to big as this makes a plant top heavy and liable to snap when flowering.
Cloning- do this before flowering stage as you have to sacrifice a bud and has to be done from the top for best results as this is were the growth hormone is. Get scissors, heat to sterilise, cut tip with at least 2 sets of leaves (nodes) from tip sight, take and cut the bottom set of leaf's from the base of stem under water, this fucks of all the air giving virile free environment, dip in cloning solution, (the more expensive the better) slide into grow wool and place in a closed attrium or humidity container with light (no roots must get water from leaves, needs 80% humidity) water with very weak fertiliser until roots grow out of wool -plant. (wash rinse repeat)

ok, well im not into all that yet, i just want to grow a decent harvest in a short outside season, and bob, my plants are just a few inches tall, they have the first two sets of leaves grown, and the next is coming in, they are in plastic cups and i have tied a thred from the cup around the plant and to the cup again, and put enough tension on it where it is at an angle, i added more soil around the bottom of the stem and pressed it a lttle so it would hold, the leaves have turned up, your plant has multiple tops, and that means more buds right?, what i want to know is, will that mean it will take longer to harvest time?

i usually move seedlings into the growing pot asap as you dont want to have to disturb them later by re-potting. When you tip a plant at a young age the thing literally turns one central growing stem into two so you have to tie down both of these new central branches as they develop. I dont think it extends the flowering time and if it does it is worth it anyway.
