Bending tops advice.

I'm used to LST, however I really don't bend to many tops as Ive been growing now 6 months. Can I get some advice on bending tops, like what direction is best? How far to bend and how delicate? And when they recover upright bend again? Or wait?.

Hi mate, looking at your plant i don't think you will need to bend any as your LST looks like its made the canopy even. Bending the branches is similar to what you do with LST. You aim to bend them so they don't stop light hitting another part of the plant. Look at the plant from above, then think strategically, if you bend this one this way does it create more airflow through the plant and does it let light penetrate more of the plant. I usually if its stretching to much is bend then 90 deg away from the centre of the plant. To bend it I usually use 2 fingers and thumb. So I use to fingers to bend it over my thumb. After a few hours it usually is back up straight, so I do the same again. If its being stubborn and won't stay bent after a few days I kind of squash the branch at the bend to weaken it. Hope this helps.
