You want the top of the plant to be slightly lower than the rest of the stem. This makes the side buds "think" that they have a chance of being "top bud" and they grow accordingly. (I could explain it discussing auxins and other hormones, but the "simple version" will do in this case.) Go for it, hon. You will love the results! The buds won't be quite as big as a normal terminal bud, but they will be "decent sized" and there are more of them.

I use weights (old bolts hung by twist-ties like Xmas ornaments) to bend mine, but stakes also work. Don't let the leaves touch the ground. Otherwise, it's easy to do. :thumbsup: You don't need to tip the pot, just make the plant grow at a right angle to the ground- like an "L" tipped over.
