Using the tie/bend back method while flowering

[PrideOfCucamonga]

My two plants are in their 3rd week of flowering and are starting to show some nice nuglets. My one plant is starting to get to big for the closet i have her in. Her top nuglets are starting to hit the lights and are getting burned, i had to trim a few off. I was wondering if i could use wire and tie down the long brances so they are bent down. I know this is used during the vegetative stage, but i am 3 weeks into flowering. Will this reduce my yield? let me know what you think, thanks in for any help.

I've LST'd up to week 4 with no ill effects, and kept adjusting those ties up till harvest. (See tubgirls thread this forum for pics)

So I'd say tie that bitch down and turn the light back on.

I like to sort of tilt the whole stem diagonally away from the light if I need to protect the top buds. The plants don't seem to mind!

yeah i actually just pull the plant one way, kinda bending it over haha, i like my gals bent. hehe. I see better growth in all the bud sites and they all shoot out one way... to the light with no cover.
