Looks good! Healthy plant, too!

 

[giggles26]

Looks fine bro. There are many forms of lsting. You can tie down each branch or do the whole plant just like you did. That's how you would train if you were going to do a scrog.

Don't worry about it you did fine.

I'm high as fuck and read "or did I fuck it up" and started laughing my ass off. Lol.

IMO, it's easier, and later on down the road you will see why.......
Take and drill about 1/4" holes around the pot, within an inch from the top.
Use string through these holes to pull your branches down, sideways, whatever.
Also, if you used a metal coathanger, you may get some contaminants in the soil, IDK-depends what kind of material it's made from.
You can see how I did, in late veg/ early flower, and second pic, a month into flower, even now I still am training her.

ill drill the holes tomorrow then.. so what happens next? once its starts growing up again do i tie the bitch to the other side?

 

[Bakatare666]

Once you get it horizontal, you could start pulling it in a circle, around the pot, but a little larger diameter, then when you transplant, continue to wrap it around, that's what I want to try on one of my next plants, after seeing how this one turned out.
I'm real happy with the way I ended up with a nice full shrub, not a tree. (I wasn't expecting it).
That's kinda why I drilled my holes about an inch apart, that way I could pull to the side a bit, straight down, or whatever.

 

[wickedsmoke427]

With your idea with the holes, could you do that to manipulate.some lower branches to et more light to the inner nodes?

very nice..........

Sure.
In my second pic, that is my final 5 gal. pot, and you can see I still have lots of string in there moving stuff around.
About once a week, I'll spend a half to an hour tying branches.
