    tieing them down sounds like a fantastic idea. only other idea would be to supercrop or top but it sounds like it is too late to do those.

    They should stop growing vertically after the third week of flower especially if there was a transition period.

    The plants will bend, I tie mine down when they get to tall also. Just be sure when the buds get fat and get some weight, they can beak the bent branch. I then tie of to something high to cradle the bud and take the weight off the branch...good luck

    Good advice. Train those puppies. As far as topping I was taught top at 9" and again at 20", but we were all taught a bit differently.
