this idea pointless?

First of all lemme jus say the drawings not accurate,I have used this setup with cfl a few times before with the same amount of plants but I didn’t bend them all,
I wanna try n bend them all so that more of the light n space r used to the full,I wana tie them in pairs, tie one plant to the base of the other plant n then do the same with the other plant.


there only 10days old at the moment and I have already put them into flowering(I know some of you may say this is too early but Iv had great results with it in the past)
With them bein this young do you think it would have the same results if I let them grow upright?? I don’t really think this is classed as sog or scrog cos im not limiting their height…….im just experimenting n havin fun.

The picture shows 5 plants,the one in the middle will be the runt (if I get one)im jus gunna see how they grow first,if the plants stay small enough il take one out of veg n put it in the middle otherwise there wil b jus 4…………
so basically I jus wana know if anyones got any thoughts,suggestions,ideas or anything…….

I bend over semi tall strains but I don't attach it to the opposite plants pot I just make it run a circle around its own pot, making sort of a crown. If your flowering after ten days then they shouldn't get very tall at all, I don't think there wold be much point in bending them over.

do you not think it will benefit the lower buds n make them bigger?
i flowered em before at 14days and i was expectin really small top colas but buds grew all over even tho they wa kinda small plants(12"),i jus thought that this time if i bent them from the beginnin the results will be even better than last time..............or u reckon it wont make any difference

At that height I personally don't think it will make much of a difference, you could always bend half of them over and let the other half grow strait and see which yeilds more.

*EDIT*
I got some of those baskets that they sell for tomatoes but my tomatoes out grew them in a couple weeks and I had to make my own baskets out of concrete reinforcement, heavy gage wire with about 4 inch sqare comes in rolls that look liek fencing only bigger and heavier. those baskets that I made ended up being about 5 foot tall and the tomatoe plants still out grew them and the tops bent over and were nearly touching the ground lol. But anyway thats wasn't my point I used the original baskets to attach my weed to and just followed the circle the basket made kind of spiriling upward.
