Re: To Top or Not to Top? That is the question.
Tieing it over gently is one method. I myself would just reach over and grab the main stem where I want the bend to be and slowly roll the stem between my fingers and thumb putting presssure on it. You will feel the innards crush and the cola will fall over. leave it where it falls. It will heal itself with a knuckle where you crushed it at and you will end up with faster lower branch growth.
Fimming can cause damage or it may not. It's a risk that just breathing on your plants can cause rust (airborn fungus) to attach itself to your leaves as well. Life is a risk. EVERYTHING is a risk.lol The damage from fimming can be anything from nothing to the plant becoming a hermie.
Considering how anything and everything can cause stress IMO it's best to add as little as possible.
