I accept with information:This is where the nutrients and water travel through the plant. The object is to break the branch without doing major damage to that inner core. So work the branch and soften the tissue before you break it. Dont just snap it. It can take 5 minutes to break one branch if you do it proper.
I'm not talking about bending...Let me clarify, if the lower area of the plant has thick stalks because of repeated cutting back, those thickened lower stalks help deliver larger amounts of water and nutrition more efficiently than thinner stalks. And since the idea is to create a bushy, evenly distributed high yielding plant, you will benefit by having that abnormally wide base..I wasn't refering to the area that you actually bend.
