Sounds like a plan of attack. I do basically the same thing as far as perpetual, but I do very short veg times and use the flower stretch to fill out the screen. So no taining of any kind before flower for me. I have done it in the past with good results though. If you look in the begenning of my journal, you can see where I trained my white widow clones with tying before putting them in flower and it worked out very well.
I use the full Technaflora line up(BC Boost, BC Bloom, Thrive Alive Red, Awesome Blossom, Magical, and Sugar Daddy) Ialso started using Humboldt SnowStorm Ultra and Gravity.. If you want to try this lineup(works much better in hydro than FF) let me know and I'll give you my custom recipe. I've seen pleanty of people do good grows with FF, but my experience with it in hydro was terrible. Smelled bad, plants always seemed in poor health, and they settled out to the bottom and burned the roots and that was with a pump circulating them.
Some weave, others use the one branch per hole method. I personally use the one branch per hole, no weaving, and use the flower stretch to fill out the screen. No veg time in it. I also do nothing but canopy control, no fim,, topping, or supercropping. It has worked pretty good for me so far, check the link in my sig if you'd like to see.
