Main Stem too Thick/Tough to LST

Was going to attempt to tie her down to let the lower 4 budsite branches catch up to the top 4 but the main stalk is thicker than a stripper and she doesn’t have much give. I need some input on how to go about this. Want to have a nice even canopy but I think I may have started this a little late. Also, how do you think she’s looking?

I would normally bend them over between 2/3rd node.
Your plant will be easy bent with a bit of twisting, take hold of the stem with your hands and counter rotate them adding a bit more pressure as it loosesens, do it over 3 or 4 inches to make sure it doesn't kink or fold when you pull it down, not that it would matter but its easily avoided.

Best advice is to start when they are small and the stems are thin.

Plants look good and healthy.

Probably can just push the 2 top outward and let the bottom catch up.

If your brave you can crush the main stem and bend it over a lil

I was able to bend over the higher per of the main stem pretty easily. Any lower was just not gonna happen lol. How do you think I did?
