well my idea would be to pull/bend them and tie them down,do so with force but dont snap them,it's easier to do this while they are young and the stalks are soft,.im doing a white widow this yr and i started only a few days ago,

you topped your plant already,so try and pull it down to where it feels like its going to break,then tie it to an anchor,to keep it pulled down,you will see lots of new branch growth,and continue to pull down the new growth,.if your plants stalks/branches are still soft,squeeze an area on the branch/stalk to soften it and you can form any direction you would want it to go,this does not in any way harm your plant it will form a hard knot where you squeezed it,makes that branch strong to hold the weight of the buds "unless you snap it"but they always heal with some tape..! if you need more direct info do some reading or ask me or others for help....

this probably wont solve your problem completely but it will help,remember im going to be doing the same thing as soon as she starts growing more...you did the right thing by topping now all those branches that are growing upwards pull them down and tie them to something..increases yeild because more light gets to the plants = more new growth etc etc..

good luck

p.s this is what i do and works very well for me.

what strain are you growing?


and that vid you saw must of been a clone put outside towards end of season very little veg time and all flowering time...\ i could be wrong though
