as the great Vick would say.. "WIW!!!!" LOL
that plant is looking lovely brother! one thing i love about growing 1 or 2-3 plants at a time is you can spend time to really prune it up to look picture perfect- so to speak... nice LST work bro.. im loving your system- its so damned simple! and thats what i love about it! simple DIY that WORKS WELL
imho that is what growing is all about.. making do with what you have at that particular time- great bro, making a cool hydro unit out of a cooler and an air stone. 
personally though.. i could see you training them over a little more would open them up even more.. but thats just me bro, you are spot on
what you inadvertently did with your trunk ties is what we do quite often in horticulture, here we call it "sincturing" or "girdling".. its curious if this was really accidental because it is used often to promote better flowering and fruit production in horticulture... sincturing simply refers to making circular incisions through the bark of branches or trunks- we sometimes use chainsaw blades which ends up looking something like a garrote.. this is done to temporarily block the transportation of carbohydrates down the 'phloem', thus causing an accumulation of carbos ABOVE THE GRIDLE. the accumulated starch in the branch may then contribute to better flower development, production and fruit/bud-set.
looking forward to another very cool micro
