Multiple colas from tying over?

Hey all.

I had my girls trained over from about June till last w/e. I untied them, and now when I went to check, it seems as though three of the lower branches are growing upwards and look almost identical to the main stem. Is this possible, or am I just dreaming?

I forgot to add, the top 12" of the main stem is completely horizontal. Pretty cool to see it nothing else.

***So, even though a lousy picture, the three leaves on the right pointing up are three branches, and then 2 on the left. Funny thing is my blackberry takes better pics than my dig. cam. Dumb. @nd pic shows the stem, starts in the middle and goes down to the left. 3rd is just the 2, I'm so proud they have come so far.

Tying them over achieves the very results you're describing. You want multiple colas, tie them over.

Quick question: if cloning do you have to carry on vegging them until they recover from shock before you can put them in flowering? If so how long do they take to recover from shock?

I figured as much. I lst my plants last year and had good results, but what I'm seeing is exactly what is in Sogs first pic. It does seem as though they are all (4) trying to dominate. I sure as hell didn't do it on purpose, but if it works I found me the preferable method to topping or fimming, you can't screw this up.

I'll post a few pics tomorrow. Thanks for the info all.

I was referring to clones.
I was planning on doing a SOG lolipop grow where I have to cut off the branches off lower 1/3 of the stalk but I need to wait for it to recover shock but do your plants not go through shock at all?

nah man... once they establish a solid root system, put them on 12/12... then wait a week or so to strip th botem 1/3 of the plant and then on the 3rd week, go bak and clean it up agn... u shulnt see ANY shock... SOGs alota work tho... if u do a big enuff 1 u gotta water them all and more often, clone them all time, move from room to room.... u can achevie the same resaults with supercropping and make it a perpetual grow
