I had your problem, but during veg state haha. I had to take down the complete set up and move to a larger space. Expect them to grow MUCH more than they have been already anyway, they should burst into action in the flower stage. Sooo, tear down, relocate, rebuild, start again. Just like I did after Katrina, ironic.

I can't say it works for everyone but bending is the only really viable solution you have (outside of moving). DONT supercrop (bend to create elbows) once you are flowering. Just gently bend them, small amounts each day if that's what it takes. It may not end up looking pretty, but better than a good looking plant that's burnt at the top. I had to do it to my Skunk #1 that's growing alongside my WW. Skunk was raising my canopy waaaaay too much. I just put in a bunch of stakes and started zip tying away....
