You just start bending them to where you want them to go. Start early when the branches are nice and soft. Tie them down to the side of the pot, and they will grow in whatever direction you want them to.
A neat thing to do, if you are fooling around, is bend them to go one way, and place the light the oposite way, you will grow a zig zag plant....
Just have fun with it, and remember, it can slow the grownth a bit...

It allows you to keepo the plant lower, and with less light, you can get better penetration, so in theory, in that situation, yeah, it can helps.
Here is an example of early bending that was done to a plant

I reiterate what ManNurse said,
take it easy when you start to bend, just do a little at a time, I know, the last time I tied down two branches and ended up snapping them off at the mainstem. I use lead fishing weights of various sizes
,and get some pipe cleaners, cut the pipe cleaner into like 2-3 inch pieces ,use the pipe cleaners to attach the weight to the branch, nice and soft so it does not cut into the branch.Just tie the wieghts like christmas ornaments where you want the branch to bend, start with a small wieght and work up to heavier weights.

You can start it any time. Just remember, the stalks get brittle as time passes, and you have to induce the training very slowly, the older the pant gets. Great idea mentioned above, +rep.

Thank lou. My question still stands, is it ever to late ot start this process?
YOU CAN TRAIN/BEND ANY OL TIME YOU FEEL THE DESIRE TO,IN FACT,THE TWO BRANCHES THAT I BROKE OFF HAD SOME NICE BUDS COMING ON,I GUESS THEY GOT HARVESTED A LITTLE EARLY,SMOKED OUT VERY FINE THOUGH.
BASICALLY YOU ARE TRYING TO GET LIGHT TO ALL OF YOUR BUDS,SO THEY WILL PLUMP UP INTO TASTY LITTLE TREATS....OH, AND BEWARE, ONCE YOU HAVE FROSTY BUDS GROWING ,YOU WILL FIND YOUR NOSE STUCK IN THE BUDS VERY OFTEN.. IT'S A GOOD THING.:weed:
