I don't really want to bend it because people told me that latter on when it starts to flower it doesn't grow as good

Check out the stalks on these plants. They were all bent. All my tops are even. It makes the branches grow an even canopy so they all get the same amount of light.

Ya could do this as well. It makes the branch thick as hell. I do this too. When i get a shoot that is growing too tall I fold it right over.

If ya bent it so it faces horizontal you would be fine. It will grow back up in a day or 2 and then bend it back again.
Ya may have to go 3 to 4 inches for it bend.
Do it and take a photo.

Thats the ticket!
Watch now how the branches grow like crazy.
When the top grows up just bend it down some more.
One of the major concepts to growing is to have all your branches the same heigth.

If ya look at the branches at the bottom of your plant in time they will be the same height as the top. The branches then get the same light and all grow a huge bud on the top.
I will see if i have a picture.
