Its low stress training where you gradually tie and lower the main branch until you get a horizontal plane it along the length....
Google lst or low stress training and theres some good guides and videos

ouch, well, at least youve learned for next time. Bending it will help with the height, but it wont stop it growing, so i hope you got plenty of horizontal space. you may need to be a bit rough and have to sort of weaken the stem squeezing it with you fingers so it bends and doesnt just snap. for the future count on your plants to double to triple in size from when you start the stretch phase of flowering to when its done with the stretch phase.

just bend it right over if you have to. Once it gets buds on it, you will be propping it up.

Like someone said before, pinch the stem hard and fold it over. It is called "super cropping" if you wanna look it up. Bruise the shit out of the area, the more the less likely it will all out snap. In the end though, it will probably split, but its fine, in 2 weeks, it will be almost fully healed, and be like 10 time stronger. If you just bend it a bit, it will go straight back into the light. You gotta believe, its a scary thing to do the fist time, but now I do it like 4 weeks into flower (for a 12 week strain) maybe even a bit longer. It is amazing and you will never go back.
