They will need to stay that way, or they’ll want to just stand straight back up. Man. So many jokes come to mind…
For example lol…
I try to bend mine over in the evening, seem to respond better than first thing in the morning. And I change positions when it starts to hurt, cramp, etc…

As it grows just keep securing it down as other branches shoot up train them down too before you know it you have a bush

Get some butterfly office clips and use those to secure string/rope/wire to side of pot. You can still use same technique.
Thank you sir!@@@

This is what iam talking about!
How tall should they be whey do that first bend? I am a couple of days beyond two weeks from seed dropped into glass of water and have my fourth set of true leaves showing at the top. The nodes(?) are really bunched up.
Picture?
I leave mine tied down til they harden off…which just means the branches are so thick and stiff, they’ll no longer “bounce back” from their bondage. I’ve noticed this is about when the pistils go from just hairs to hairs coming out of fat little calyxes. Once they’re in full bloom, I undo the training ties, and let them grow as they, with a bit of tucking, here and there.
A lot of people don’t untie, ever, but rather keep adjusting the training til harvest. Some set them free, after a bit. It’s up to your own style of growing.

The lower tie is a sorta hold back, I planted the seeds off center this time , to try and get better coverage
