@bob31 is right, Low Stress Train the stems a little, spread them out if you can…and it’s better to move the branches a little bit day to day rather than trying all at once…the stems are getting more rigid in the flower stage

@bob31, @Countryboyjvd1971, @kabongster… I have my seeds that I bought from ILGM basically still in the bags get came in, in an envelope on a shelf in my grow room… Should I place them in fridge or is room temp ok? They are in an envelope and not exposed to direct light
@Zombo … A cool, dry, dark space… I keep mine in the basement (about 10 degrees cooler than 1st floor). Sealed in an air tight bag. A lot of people use the fridge, just make sure they’re sealed so no moisture can get in… Room temp won’t hurt them, but could shorten the shelf life I think, but not positive on that one…

You’ll be fine as long as it cool and dry in the space you be fine but
For long term storage vacuum seal and place in fridge they will keep for years like that
Never put seeds in your freezer you’ll kill them off

If they started to flower after you change light schedule they are probably photos which mean you can prune them if you want to
Once mine reach like 23 inches off floor I’ll start pruning and once streach is over I’ll do one last pruning to thin my plants out a bit from underneath
You’ll be surprised how much of the canopy opens when you get rid of the small popcorn buds and off shoots
But it’s your first grow if you not comfortable with pruning you can just let them go as well
I think your just seeing signs of maturity and not actually flowering but they at most likely ready to flower win the more natural pattern of the light schedule it just shows faster from what I’ve been reading @Zombo
Can you post a recent picture in Natural light sir
