I have searched and read most threads and FAQ's regarding bending, but there's some contradictory info, so I'm hoping for some definitive instructions.

Do you wait until a plant has a certain number of nodes or is a certain height before bending?

Secondly, if you are bending, aren't you moving the mass of the plant off center from the middle of the pot?

The first bend seems straightforward enough. But what's the goal with subsequent bends? Say if you are looking down at the plant from above and bent it to the right, or 3 o'clock, for your first bend. Might your next bends be toward six o'clock, then nine o'clock, keeping the mass inside the container?

I screwed around with some small plants during my first grow and grew one plant almost entirely horizontal. I know you can make a pot plant do almost anything a vine can do.
