Take a string, tie it around the top of the plant, then tie the other end down to something so the plant is in a upside down U shape. The stem shouldnt snap man, be careful though you can tell when the tension is too great and it feels like it will snap.

Your not suppercropping or snapping the stem, your just bending it.

If you do mess up and snap it, tape it up right away.

Also sometimes a knuckle will develop at pinch point , don't freak out it is normal .

Grab the tip of the plant, hold it by the stem..tie a piece of string to it( tie it to the stem/stalk)....poke a hole on the side/ top of your pot...run the string threw it pull it.. and your plant will get pulled twards the ground ..tie it and adjust it.. add more holes, tie down more branches, with more string.

I just wanted to add be careful if you do what I said.make sure it's not to loose around the stalk because if it slips it will strip some leaves..to tight for long periods of time is not good either because it can cut threw the stem as it grows...u gotta just give it a go and see what works for you. Maybe try super cropping it's more stress but it's very effective.

We switch the lights to 12/12 to tell the plant it is time to flower. The fact that you have pre-flowers means that the plant is naturally ready to flower. Now is time to go to 12/12.

Good luck, BigSteve.

You are on the right track now! Don't forget to support it with stakes or something so it won't break when the flowers get heavy.
