Was wondering if anyone has a good resource for specific and demonstrated techniques for increasing the size of the canopy and to improve yields? Like an illustrated book or videos. Let me know? Thanks. Im just 24 days in but want to be on top of it.

Topping her will multiply bud sites, and thus your canopy. YouTube topping, and then lollipoping. That will get you started.

Thanks!
Are you bending the whole plant from the root/soil?
It appears from the picture that youāve bent the main stem over. Iāve not seen many folks try to implement lst traing on the main stem near the soil line
See pic

Bad? Nahā¦ not really sure friend. Iām sure Osage will step in and educate me on how common this is 
Just havenāt seen a lot of folks utilize that technique on cannabis. Typically you see the side shoots tied down, but the plant looks healthy so

If you are referring to the first pic in your post, thatās mainlining. I love the technique and will implement it during my next grow. The mainlining in that pic is not the traditional way as Iām aware of it, but to each his own. Itās all about experimenting and developing new techniques

But with regards to staking the branches down, no, youāll just have to adjust as she grows bigger

I disagree with that assessment, The act of training a cannabis plant to form a āhubā or āmanifoldā off a single node, creating a center for equal energy distribution from the roots to each cola.
This is not manifolding or any version Iāve seen. Just bent the main stem down to create more space. I would consider this LST. I donāt think itās harmful and I agree that itās good to play around and find new techniques

If weāre talking about the same pic I disagree. You can tell the stem has been cut from the top because of the āknucklesā on the top and each side. Take a closer look. Itās someoneās idea if mainlining in a different way. Everything has been taken from the bottom too. Look closer
Iām talking about the first pic in YOUR post
Same, the very first pic he posted not me. Weāll have to agree to disagreeā¦ the very definition of it
