I start to spread my plants out by tying the side shoots in the direction I want them. Then those side shoots grow more tops that form the bush. I can't stress enough the fact that there is not a set way of doing it. I use plastic grow bags and then i cut up wire hangers I hook the hanger into the bag and then the other side around the stem. Sometimes I will just put a j hook on one side of the hanger and then push the straight side of the hanger in the dirt, and the hook around one of the shoots. Keep in mind that all your really trying to do is get more light to the stem to promote more side shoots, that will become large colas. So, spread that bitch out. Once your main stem is pulled lower than the side shoots it tricks those smaller shoots into thinking they are main shoots. Play around with it, and experiment. Some people say to water them first, but I disagree. The plants give much more when they are thirsty. Hope this helps shed some light, lst is one of the easiest methods of growing as soon as you get over the fear that your going to mess something up.
