Going into flowering. . .can I tie some stuff down?

Just went into flower (switching from a few LEDs to a 1000w HPS bulb in a 4x4. After just two days, I can see the insanity. I've got my girls lightly lollipopped and the plants thinned in the middle. Can I tie them off to the tomato cages, bending them a little if needed? Or is it too late for that?

Nope, it is not too late at all...I've supercropped 6 weeks into flower if need be.

Tie her down. It won't bother her at all.

I grow plants into nets non-scrog style just kinda keeping everything as uniform and well spaced as possible while still filling out the whole light footprint, if a cola almost touches the light I will just bend it over (supercrop). They will grow right back up to the light, Just practice on shitty branches at first, the goal is to bend it like a straw not snap it. I actually think if you supercrop in early/mid flower you get the best results cause stems seem the most malleable. Once they set colas and pre-stretch they can be pretty hardy and SNAP instead of bend like a straw.

absolutely bend and tie down...never too late and the results will show it
