Low Stress Training not in pot...any chance for different shapes ? (Camouflage)

as everyone here am busy with a young bush (one month now) planted in the soil of my SouthEast garden and i am trying to Camouflage it among others plants and flowers.

My need is to mantein it SHORTEST AS POSSIBLE and i am quite expert of LST (Low Stress Training) but (there is always a BUT) i only applied it in a kind of spiral shape because i tied it along pot borders.

Now i have no pot to tie around and strictly i have the necessity to create a plant shape that can be long (not tall) and that can spread the rising buds in a wider area than that one developed by a normal spiral...so the density of buds in a small area will be lower and less visible (hopefully)

so, i am asking to LST masters, is that possible or am I obliged (by facts) to do the "classic" LST shape ?

thx

p.s. i add the pic to show the area in which the plant should develop...possibly (and hopefully)

bend it sideways and keep bending it down and covering with a bit of soil...I ran a sativa all along my fence once...yeehaw..you can make u shaped staples type thingys from coathangers to hold plant down..just keep bending and pushing it down as it grows..make whatever shape you want

i dont understand when u wrote Covering With A Bit Of Soil...how u mean ?

am worried a bit about firsts, lower and lateral branches...they expand the "green area" in the middle..and i want to make it longer and not larger
 
you can always use fencing, like 2 inch by 4 inch fencing like pictured in my journal. put stakes down and fasten it horizontally and do an outdoor scrog. there pretty cool. look them up

anything covered in soil will soon generally form roots especially if ya scrape it and add powder and such ..the soil will keep it low profile and hold it down...trim off what ya don't want .....yeehaw...you don't have to cover with soil just bend and pin down with staples /stakes whatever works for ya ...you can run a wire along and tie to it also keeping low profile and spreading out plant

Tent pegs, you pound them into the ground and tie a string/rope onto it like a guy wire and use it to anchor them down. You could also use lattuce over top of it to make a screen, 3 x 3 or 4 x4 netting stretch it out and secure edged with 1 x 4s and posts for lateral supports use it as a scrog net.

I like to bend them using a stake and a tie down. Secure the main stem to the stake and then run a line to bend it over. Do it slowly so it doesn’t snap. I use a long eye bolt in the ground to secure the bending line, I guess you could use a tent stake. You’ll end up with a something that looks like a small grove as opposed to a large Christmas tree.

Buy some plastic flowers/tomatoes, and attach them to the stems. Also removing the large fan leaves will help disguise it.
