Training advice, limited space

Hi guys. I underestimated the size of these fat monkey autos, and wondering if I should move it into a bigger tent and train it to get more light through the canopy.

Plant is getting very thick, and I've just tied it down a bit to get some light into it as most of it was in shadow. Should I tie the branches out more and move it into a bigger tent? or is it okay as it is? It's in a 90x50 tent with 160w of actual light, and it's already hitting the sides at week four. There is another fat monkey in the same tent, but it's only 5 days old, and I can see space becoming an issue. I have a 70x70x160 tent here I can use with another TS 600 and 4x120w (30w actual) e27s with white, warm white, red, IR and UV.

I look to have 8 weeks left as it's just sprouted it's first hairs, will the plant shoot up over the next week or two and space out enough to get adequate light or should I train it and move it into a bigger tent? I'm beginning to think that 350x300 pots might have been a bit big for small tents.

Guess I have a similar issue since I like stuffin' as many in my space as I can. I just top every plant and let'em fight for their share. If it gets wild again, I top again... In a perpetual rotation, it's about light height per plant...I always have a rogue that bullys...
