You'll notice in my grow log there are 3 gallon pots with holes around the edge - This is setup to turn my girls into a funnel from the time I start to veg, basically, I will start bending as soon as they are no longer seedlings, bending the main branch (and topping it) and tying down all the sub branches, so when my 1' girls start to flower, they'll only be about 7" tall, but they'll grow in a spiral, creating a funnel of buds. I can get away with this because I have great lighting, and underbrush lighting as well. If you don't have great lighting, you can do the exact same thing, in more of a pine cone shape, tying your branches to the edges, and getting smaller as it goes up instead of larger, mine will look like a tornado, while ones with lesser light would look like an upside down cone.

Since your bending your plant slightly, and as it grows, it won't be as stressful, with a much lower chance to hermie. Also, I've noticed people that use this method, have much longer and denser popcorn buds from the undergrowth that are actually worth keeping
