Its not a good sito your in, unfort week 2 of flower is pushing it as far as the stems still being flexible enough to bend. Super cropping is still an option- or use bonsai wire to wrap around the plants stems that you plan to bend down, and then slowly over a few days bend and bend and bend some more til you have made the stems into the shape you want, the wire will also hold the stressed stems in place so they wont move back up, AND if you bend too far and semi snap a stem, its fine- in fact once you get really good at wire training that semi snap is what your aiming for!! But to start with just bend it slowly morning and nite over a few days until they are the shape u want. Dont be shy with the wire- if you use bonsai wire u may need a few strands around the thicker stems. Bonsai wire is available in sizes between 1 and 6 millimeters. While there is no rule for what gauge of wire you should use, it is suggested that your wire be one-third the thickness of the section to be wired. Also, if you expect to have to make a drastic bend, a heavier gauge is required. This is how you get around the stems being less flexible if you only have a few smaller plants to deal with as no way id want to train more than a few smaller plants like this unless u have a few hours spare each day over 2-4 days. Its one option if your not confident on trying to super crop without any support on the branches your snapping.

Yeah, that's why I said you shouldn't HST bro you can I have got mixed results from doing it. Bending your nodes like I have in my zkittlez hydro diary, do you think that'll help? They only need be tied down a few days and they will stay like that and the bud sites at the top will turn towards the light.

You can also do HST but that's to be desired on autos. But tying down my nodes to the pot works great for me. Took about 30cm down off the height and doesn't stop the growth of nodes as if you HST it'll stop the node growth so tying down and managing like a kinda lst will be best for you I think. Good luck buddy

Hey buddy. There are many things you can do. Supercropping tying down the nodes get like a x shape turned on its side and the down the long nodes so they are bent and facing lengthy ways towards the light. Have a look a my monster&mig diary.
