You can use the soft coated bendy wire to hold them down. I use styrofoam balls and have them grow around the balls.
Its a little harder with clones due to the asymmetrical node growth.
Thanks 
The one I’m growing is a seed.
I’ll get a pic. You’d never know she was quadlined.
She looks okay, she’s just not the quadline shape I’d envisioned.

Thats good, however, you have the one bent pretty hard. Keep the bends to no more than 90 degrees. My goal is to guide the shoots to just before the edge of the pot and let it go up from there.So I think I did this right based on the examples in the post
Snapping is a thing.
Snapping an auto will set you back.

Got ya. I took the tie downs off after this pic. I read that I should wait a little longer to start tying them tied.
Hi Baron
As you can see, while she still looks nice and healthy, her shape is all wrong for a quadline. Under all those leaves is a quadline structure. I just can’t see it coz I trained her wrong.
I’m dropping a Barney’s Farm Mimosa X tomoz, hopefully I do better with her. I might get some advice when it comes time to train if that’s okay
Here’s the most unquadlined looking quadline in all of Quadlinesville!
Lolling!

I don't think that looks bad at all. The whole point of the quadline is to get the spread of the limbs in place early to allow for good air flow and it certainly looks like you've accomplished that!Hi Baron

Well done, I say.
Well, first off, its a saucy looking lass!Hi Baron

Yes its hard to see where the quad is in this and agree with Azimuth how the goal is to spread out the plant. I myself prefer to just have plants with 4 tops only, then stuff the tent with as many 4 tops as I can fit. If I were to guess, I'd say at some point you snipped the original 4 tops to make it 8 tops and let some of the off shoots carry on.
Thats personal preference....also known as a grow style.
Thank you Azi, that’s nice of you to sayI don't think that looks bad at all. The whole point of the quadline is to get the spread of the limbs in place early to allow for good air flow and it certainly looks like you've accomplished that!

I think that’s where I have trouble. My veg tent is small, 70cm X 70cm
No I didn’t.
They have just been woven back into the plant and held with hooks. If the branches spill over the pot, I struggle to fit the goal of three plants in there.
I might start a seed and keep it small.
I’m interested in trying new shapes. I love that real quadline look.
Can you quadline an auto? My autos tend to be smaller so I’d have a better chance of controlling her.

I am testing 2 auto's. One quad, one straight, I doesn't slow them down. Give iot a day between cutting the bottom nodes and topping it.
Have fun.
Thanks Scott
My seeds (the 12:12 type) grow super huge in frame so they are hard to control. My autos are much smaller in structure so I think I’ll have a better chance to keep that true quadline shape with an auto.

Prop it back up and let it heal. But that's why I like to Supercrop the limbs to get the angle started rather than just pulling them over to the side.

Yea I propped it back up and within a few days it had stood back up and started back growing. I don’t wanna attempt any more training on it. I’m shell shocked

How long do you guys leave the tie downs on? My 4 main branches are all the way to the edge of the pot. Do I need to start letting them
Grow upward at some point. There are some new bud sites that are growing in on the top side of the branches. Should I let them catch up in height before I take them off?

I leave the ties (actually fishing weights in my case) on all the way through stretch.
I let my mains grow to the pot edge and then either let them turn up or top them depending. From there it will depend on how much height you have in flower for when to flip them. I don't have a lot of room so they get flipped once they reach the edges.

This one is a auto flower but I’m assuming the same rules apply

Definitely liking the process some nice bud sites coming in. Northern lights 32 days from sprout.
