To untie them won't make much difference. They've been for too long like that to even notice the difference and the canopy stays opened this way. Yes I know, everyone says untie your plants one week prior to flowering, but some tie their plants down during flowering if they get to tall. Don't think this will make much difference. But thanks for pointing this out. After what I've been doing to that RP#2 and she's grown even stronger after, I don't think others will mind. And there are only autos that are flowering, other three plants are still veging and are being trained. No flip so far, runing lights 15/9.
