Some of my plants are very short and bushy with 3 main stems andquite a few buds and leaves if I tie the 3 branches back and open the plant right up will that help the buds in the middle grow as they shud receive more light and won't be obscured would the other buds be ok that I've tied back ? Or any other ways ? I'm about two weeks from harvest too

You're not gonna get much response doing training the last 2 weeks. The leaves in full light are making food and sending it to the buds as needed.

You probably should have opened them up earlier. I did that to some of my outdoor plants this season and those plants produced huge amounts of colas. So yes, it does help.

Yea... a little late now... maybe take the top cola off closer to finish date, and let bottom of plant stay in bud for longer...
Good Luck!

Not gonna help much now but next time try tying together a net using nylon clothesline. You can then train your girls any which way you want. You can find in any store for under $5 & just cut away & toss at harvest. I call it SCROG lite. If you want your internal popcorn bud to get bigger just harvest the top colas & leave the rest. You could even reveg your popcorn to increase bud mass. Consider adding side lighting like cfls or LEDs.

Good idea. You can pick up some trellis netting for real cheap at Home D.
