Check it out man.. Imagine like on your avatar pic... Imagine that before flowering about where your knee is.. you pinch the trunks and bend them over... all of those buds that grew up the trunk would have been growing up as there own trunk... therefore...the more time you give it rest after bending ..before flowering ...lol... they will grow up and become main colas ...so you gain a shit load of tops (well depending on how tall the trunk is before you bend)... Just have fun with it....
You dont get it from a pic like these?

I have heard of this before. An old farmer (real farmer) mentioned it once years ago, but I never really understood it until now. When should this be done? can it still be done at the very beginning of the 12/12 cycle with decent results?

for best results i would wait a week maybe even two beore i flower.... This way... those new tops will have some time to establish there own self a little..grow about 2-3 inches and then flower... This will give you bigger tops cause your letting those shoots define themselves as plants and not just a little flowering point.

you might want o make the bend more flat..... those shoots will really understand to grow UP.... right now there gonna grow sideways up and posibly even grow up on the trunk.... if you lay/break it more flat like on my pics... then those shoots really understand to go Straight UP>

The longer the recoop the better. I have seen people veg and shape a plant for up to a year before they flowered... ( but by god what a plant )
a year is too long for me...

that's what i am talking about.... Except..
Seems like he took his time to train it like that.. Meaning he had to adjust the ties down the line until he made that crossroad.. That is more an LST deal....
It works in the same principle... see how the shoots grew straight up?... pretty sweet plant for sure.
The 1 thing that doing it this way is the damage of the plant.... Now, most people dont want to read DAMAGE. But beleave it or not... after the plant corrects and heals its self there... It is said that anythign above that damage point will grow fatter... This is due to the rebuild that the plant has to do at the break/pinch, it makes the internal tube that feeds everything that much bigger/stronger/efficient.

there are people that do it late in flowering like that... What i wouldnt recommend is that you dont tie it down...or do like the guy above me did.. nice buds..
Meaning.. go ahead and pinch and bend it ... but then let her straighten back up.... The buds above that bend/pinch/twist will grow bigger...
