if you do be gentle...the optimum time to do that would have been in the vegetative stage while the plants stem was still bendy....three weeks flowering you're main stem has hardened... be careful not to snap the main stem or you'll really be kicking yourself

it's very possible this early into flowering...keep in mind your bud will {should} grow larger throught the cycle... my last plant began leaning in the last 2 weeks of flower but never broke

The younger the plant the more pliable it's branches and main stem are.
It is beneficial to start when in veg stage if you want to bend the plant dramatically.
A plant that is well along in flowering can be bent if you bend it a little bit at a time-----bend it a little then wait a couple of days and then bend it over a little more, wait another two days or so and bend it some more........repeat till you get profile you want.
As long as you do it gradually you should not have any problems with breakage.
I like to use loops of panty hose (it’s very strong and soft and has a lot of give –stretches) around the stem or branches. Then I tie the panty hose loop to 50 lb or so mono fishing line. The panty hose works sort of like a shock absorber.
Here is one plant that I bent over with panty hose and mono in a window box type container…
