Shit I know how it is. I have a grow tent and the tops were at 2ft away from the 1000 watt so I tied down 8 big ass plants. If you have to the sooner you tie them down the easier it will be on the stem. I tied mine down at 2 weeks into flower and really put alot of pressure on the stem to go at a 90 degree angle with a large stem.
