Hello from the U.S....I just started bending my plant (Sativa), main reason was she is so tall 44", I couldn't let her get any bigger height wise, so I have bent her down to almost floor level....now, one thing I do see is that every bud now has light on it as opposed to when she was straight up, alot of the light was mainly half way up, not touching the bottome buds. I now have ALL buds getting light. You do this SLOWLY...bending your plant. Read a few threads with the title..LST. With a new plant I've heard that what you propose will work.
