I'm no expert but the plants look healthy. It would be more useful if you stated what strain you are growing and what kind of light.

The only bending I can tell looks like it's from the weight of the buds which is a normal thing and you can definitely tie them up to give them plant support.

Hej babe.
Well, they look fine to me. Nice and healthy, good bud development, and they seem to have recovered from their various problems, so youve done well for them in the end. But yes they are quite top heavy.
Maybe next time, pinch them out more when their veging and either bend the primary tops over or "Supercrop" the top buds (pinch the stems between your fingers to crush them a bit) to slow them down a little, which allow the secondry buds to catch up a bit. Creating a flat "Sea" ov buds, directly under the light.
I dont know how long you Veged your plants for, but maybe do it for longer next time (twice as much even) to allow the main Trunk to really fatten up before letting the plant flower.
And yes, Hold back with the Secateurs as they look only about half ready to me, so maybe another 4 or 5 weeks til the big chop.

Hope that helps you some.
Good luck
Keep da faith:peace:
