Once you start to tie things down and the plant grows, it'll take whatever shape you make it into. The older parts like the main stem will be permanently trained.

Not sure why you would change your mind later. It's a great technique for smaller grows. A 400w light doesn't penetrate all that well (compared to the 1000 watters that commercial growers use) and training lets you make the most of your lit area.

Just make sure you don't tie things too tightly around the stems, because the stems will grow a lot in width, and could get strangled.
