no its fine, dont tape it, its a common method to spread branches , i do it to every single plant on purpose.
Its a great training method which usually yields better if you do do it, thus creating a light trap vase.
tip once then in 12/12, push down and spread and tear 4-5 major limbs by pushing down.
push to the soil level then leave to flower, two week before harvest strip all fan leaves to bottom without touching white pistils to increase the density of the lower buds
