I think you will be surprised how fast they recover. In addition I would add a little support to the the branch at the end ( where your leaves at) when they start filling out n get heavy, you don't want it breaking.

Good Starting point, the more your do it the more you'll get comfortable with how far you can go...

Leave it tied down for a couple of weeks. You can leave it tied down until harvest, as long as any place you tied the plant doesn't strangle it when the stem gets thicker. Plants have an amazing ability to straighten up again, even when you use high stress training, and "snap" some stems.

The top of the plant will start growing upwards, right away. Then you should see all the growing points that are now fully exposed to the light start to grow upwards, too. If you can add more light during the grow, do it.

As soon as I get a fairly mature fifth node I begin Lst using equal and opposite tension and remove all popcorn producers under node 4. I'll separate and tie down bud sites throughout grow removing ties 1-2 weeks after stretch when everything is set, then hurry up and wait. I strive for the anatomy you see in the last pic.
