Hey man, plants look nice
Id aim to get the main stem as horisontal as possible, doing so distributes the plants growth hormones evenly across the stem (which is the main reason to tie down, apart from stealth reasons, i believe), so that each branch growing up off the main stem grows equaly like a line of small plants growing off the main stem.

This is what i wanna do with my plants when there ready for it, but i also wanna take it to the next step and tie down the branches growing up off the main stem, horisontally, on alternate sides of the main stem. With so much ground coverage, the whole plant will be getting tons of light, and hopefully i get heaps and heaps of little colas. Just a thought.
Heres a diagram of what i mean.
This is looking down from above, the main stem, and all the side branches you see are tied to be horisontal.
