If it’s a auto flower the reason the stem is getting hard is because your coming into the flower stage
I wouldn’t bend it anymore you can do more damage then good at this point
Autos need to be trained early because of the growth rate
With autos I usually just top them once early on let them do there thing @Mikos

With the autos, better let things going by themselves. They don’t really like to be cut, or too much bended. But hey it still looks good, now juste let it get all the water it can take, let it dehydrate a little so it’ll get more strengh by having the roots in search of place.
When you use too much water with autos, they become lazy and don’t try to expand their roots
