Aloha.. This is a form of supercropping, and since I'm the "inventor" I'll call it the chiro method.
I was bending a branch around on one of my plants and twisting at the same time (branches prefer to bend and twist rather than bend straight down) and i felt and heard a pop, very similar to popping someone's back, especially since immediately after I let go, the branch "relaxed" and laid down nearly horizontal. I checked and there was no damage to the live outer stem, it seems that I snapped the internal structure of the stem without affecting the live parts, other than orienting them a different way. This is really easy, there's just a feel to it, quite like popping someone's back lol. You just want to twist slowly and you'll feel a gentle pop and release, but no damage to the outside. Keep in mind I've only tried this on my plants, ones that have been under flouros and haven't really developed the stems of a plant that grows outdoors. This only works on branches as big or larger than a pencil, the smaller ones just bend around and spring back.
eh.. someone told me supercroppers have been doing this for a while.. well boo freaking hoo, it's still kickass and works perfectly for me, no damage and they stay down.
