pick a spot and do some targeted damage to stem.. gently, as you can. snap it between finger and thumb, but do consider the direction you snap it toward. May need support the first 24h, but after that you more likely need to tie it down than up. It will try to course correct otherwise. So, bend into unused space or be systematic about not criss-crossing with other branches you also need to snap down. This is HST or supercropping? doesn't matter what stupid name was made up for an existing method of plant training.

Hi Buddy. You want to look up super cropping. I've given a good example in my Double Chocolate diary, Week 10. I even show how to make metal clips to keep the branches bent, other wise they will straighten out. Best tip: make sure you soften the stem where you want it bent. Try to bend the stem and not split it open, the split takes longer to heal and will affect the harvest. Chuck.

"Snap" might be a bit aggressive of a word for this. All you really have to do is crush the stem a bit to soften it up and you can fold it over. You wanna try to leave the outer skin as intact as possible.

Can bend the stem down if you want.
