To do the technique properly you need to get the top of the plants new growth down more at the level of your lowest branches in the pictures for the lower nodes to take off in growth and size

Be careful though, plants do snap, usually can be saved if you happen to go to far and will knuckle the "wound" and carry on growing.

"rolling" the stalk between your thumb and index finger where you intend to make your bend works very well to aid in tying it down. And as suggested, rubber coated wire is your friend

^^^This is what I do to my plants.
Once you have 'softened up' the stems they fold over quite easily and form a knuckle.
The one product that Miraclegro makes that i'll buy.

You wont them to grow rapidly and become main branches themselves, instead of staying small off branches with no production. If you stress train / supercrop alot more branches become main branches and big producers
