I always bend,but I have topped when I was growing shorter strains to force more branching.Their are other methods like SCROG or SOG! Ultimately you can bend all branches and have big, luscious bud sites that will get alot of light to them!

Bending a plant over triggers the plant to grow branches. When i finish my plants the branches are like 2to3 feet long.
The only trimming i do is the lower branches that are weak and not getting much sun. I also trim some of the little buds that are not getting much light.
When ya cut the top off a plant count how many branches ya have after ya cut the top. That is how many buds ya will get. You do more harm then good when yua cut the top off.
Anyone that has a few crops under there light will not cut the top off there plants.

you dont have to anything it is just to make the plant shorter and growm more like a bush in stead of a tree . topping also makes the plant have 2 colas instead of one main cola

bending is the technique where you tie a string or something to the top of the plant or by a leaf wherever you want it to go down .
stake or tie the other end of the string to a rock , bending plant !
