If it was too big before you've even flowered good luck with the next 8 weeks, shes gonna double or triple her size...cutting the top didn't do anything bad infact its called topping, the part you cut will split into 2 and you'll have two main colas instead of one.

no worries mighty bush
It can take up to 2 weeks before the plant reverts to flower.

now it is going to double if not triple in size during flower though.

Sounds like you are going to have a maddison square garden christmas tree on your hand.

the little bit that you cut off would not matter.
You could have cut off the top 1/3 of the plant if you wanted to.

Yeah tie it down.
Just do it gently do not be rough with it.
you should be able to bend it over each time you put it in the shed.

I hope you have good ventilation in the shed.
This heat will kill it.

you should really consider weighting down the top of the plant, within a day the top will turn towards the sun, and you can consiterably reduce its height that way, also you might want to just chop some of the top off, clone it, then bloom the rest of the plant weighing down all new branches
