How to Top a Trifoliate/ Triploidal Plant to get side-branching

[St. Phatty]

I have a seriously beautiful Indica leaning Triploidal plant that I want to get some side-branching going on.

Can it screw up a Triploidal plant to top it ?

the first thing I'm trying is to gently bend the stem, so that it leans away from the light and the branches below the top node, get some light.

With a normal plant I would just top it.

But it just seems wrong to cut the 3-node top on the top of a healthy Triploidal plant.

Will post pics. My Internet is totally screwed up and one of my cameras is having USB bus jitters, so it might take a little time to get the pictures uploaded.

Although they are tri-foliar rather than triploids.

V.G. currently has some with that trait on the branches rather than the stem. Mine were always from the stem and branches were normally normal. The trait is in the genes though, so it will carry over when pollinating normal branches.
You will lose the trait in the plant you top.

Oh for fucks sake, it took ages going through my photos to find them, the fuckin syntax has changed on this new site.
Sorry can't get pics to show

Finally got some pictures.

I guess Trifoliate is the right word.

FInally got the Nerve to cut the top off.

Hopefully she will grow some roots and become a Healthy Clone.

actually I still don't know if it's a He or a She.
