I would probably bend em. It may cause em to take longer to finish since they will have to recover from the stress but just pay attention to em. You look like you have a good grasp of what you can do, let er rip.

I have some WW from greenhouse on day 16/flower and i'm thoroughly impressed with em. Already noticable buds and pushin small trichs. Not much stretch at all either. Wonderful for tent growing. I'm doing mine organic/soil in 5 gal containers and they are about 30"tall. Beautiful little bushes. I have a Skunk 1 in there with em, and that thing is stretch armstrong plus inspector gadget combined.

I'm gonna follow this through the end, I hope you are going to update along the way. Peace :rastasmoke:
