The only thing that comes to mind is move the plant base/pot to the corners of the tent as close as you can, then gently bend the tallest stalks towards the opposite corner of the tent and tie them down to a weight or stake.

The only other alternative is to bite the bullet and prune it down. Just chop the top foot or two off the plant, flower longer so the lower stalks make up the loss.

You can't let it burn though. You let it burn the whole plant can get shocked.

I always find my self bending top branches to lower my canopy when they get to tall. I always pinch down the steam where i want to bend it down to then slowly bend it down and zip tie it otherwise they just stick back up. I find when i do this to the buds on that spot get super dense.

Basically supercrop. I do the pinching and bending starting in veg. I just rebend rather than tie but whatever works.
