Anyone ever keep training a branch horizontally throughout flowering?

Would each "nug" grow upwards and end up like the top one usually does?

Kinda........ thats the principal behind super cropping, and SCROG training. There are lots of ways to maximize your canopy but thats the basic idea to increase yield.

Yes they will straighten up

One of my branches accidentally got held down and the nugs all grow upwards from it on their own little stems, so I'm guessing if you trained it on purpose it would be even more pronounced. Dunno if this is what you're talking about but see for yourself

Each budspot pulls itself up like a new little branch. I train 90% of mine to grow horizontal for an extremely even canopy and good air flow

I've seen plants tied down growing about 8ft. sideways along a fence with all the branches and colas sticking straight up. So yes you can do it and it actually works well.

Wonder why most people seem to let their buds grow upwards than after. Flowering starts instead of keeps them horizontal. It's like everyone stops training once flowering starts and then you get all vertical colas.
