like i said tadaa it wasnt my intent to snap the plant in half, but i wrote what i wrote so when someone does bend the plant and they hear a snap they wouldnt freak out. jusst look at the picture in post # 6 and thats the way to do it , but if you do hear a snap tape it and continue with your grow. an OSG ( old school grower ) told me that and i didnt question that person about it and it turned out excellent.
My point is that the overall stress of snapping your plant in half, whether it lives or dies, is going to hinder your yield so much you would have been better off not even bending it. I would slowly train it, bending it a little more every couple days instead of doing it all at once. And I would only do this if you don't have sufficient light.Quote:

How big was it when you started to flower it???
it is called supercropping, you get the plant were you want to bend it and rub the stem between your finger and thumb until it starts to bruise then bend thew plant to the desired position and thats you
This is my plant i bent it when it was young
I like to twist it slowly back and forth which causes less damage.
