If it were my I'd get some thin elasticy type of cording and I'd put weights on the bottom. I'd tie each of the main branches down, start with lighter weights and get it to bend and then bend a little more each day with a little more weight so that she doesn't break. You could use metal washers on the cord because they have a hole in the center and every day you could add however many necessary to bend until you have it where you want it. but I'm a newbie and I don't know squat. All I know is I am bending and stretching the hell out of one of mine and it's awesome! Good luck to you.
you could also do a search for supercropping, mainline and training, there are a ton of threads on here about all of that.

i would drill holes near the top of your buckets and use those for your base...bend her down to where you want and tie her down...whatever you use make sure you dont put it on too tight...leave some room to grow...i used fishing line before but it looked like it was cutting into them...didnt like it so im using this very thin cloth coated wire...supposed to be for fake flowers or something im not sure anyways its working good...I have 3 plants going natural...3 plants I let my gf prune n trim up how she thought was good...and 4 im doing LST on...the LST plants are by far my favourite so far but we will see come harvest
Yeah I have done all that but I'm going to go with the washer thing because super croping when my plants hav been flowering for three weeks I herd isn't good the ones in the blue bin haven't showed sex I just super croped I tried the main cola and snapped it off but used some duct tap and a tooth pick and it died but came right back I just hope I didn't stress it into being male because its prob about to flower witch was a rookie considering I new croping wasn't good before the light transition but being outside and a slow light transition I think ill be fine but good idea on the washer thing I'd rather do it gradually then risk snapping one of my already known lady's

Chihuahua that is awesome! I've been using floral pics with floral string so I can adjust them hourly/daily as needed. It was one of the reasons I went with a styrofoam container so I didn't have to drill into the pot or anything. I just move the pins and stab them into the styrofoam. My next grow I may steel your wheel idea. thanks for posting that.
this is what mine looked like when I started, you can see my waxed floral cords and pins.
here's what she looks like today
