LST in early flower a bad thing?

[Cheffrey]

i do training all through veg hutI continue to bend the bud sites out by hand for about the first 10 days into flower. Then I clean up the bottom of plants at day 12 to 14.

Is that light bending a bad idea in early flower?

Personally I'd avoid it until day 21 when the stretch is done or mostly done. Any stress may stunt your plants stretch. If that's what your goal is however, then by all means.
