Hello. Cannabis plants don't like to be topped after set to flower. That should be done while still in veg stage. Yes bending is the best option right now. The 8th gave you good instructions for that. I like my plants to be fully into flowering, so I wait till week 3 before I do my last major defoliation and pruning. Take some leaves off that block the light from getting below, but not too much till week 3. Good Luck. Chuck.

Yes of course, you don’t want to take any sugar leave, what you can do it’s defoliation ! Take some leaves each week to the lower buds recieve light and grow bigger but it’s good to defoliate to because the plant don’t was energy in that leaves and can concern more energy on the buds! Wish with help! Drop a like in my diarie if you like Cheers

At one week, you can still do bending. Pinch the stem in between your fingers and roll it around until it bends easily, then bend it so it's completely horizontal. Don't be afraid to try this, it's actually quite easy and pretty hard to mess up. If its giving you resistance when you try to bend it down, roll the stem around between your fingers some more. In my diary, check out a photo of mine when its inside the tent. Right in between the two tallest colas, there's a branch that I bent. Its growing completely flat, but the buds on it look amazing. It's kind of hard to pick out because of the foliage, but you'll see it.
