Yep you can train until it would hurt the flowers to move them or until the stems get to stiff to bend around easily.

Looking nice man, very happy looking, goood and green with that nice shine to the leaves.
Looks great Dr.W. I train mine right thru the first week and stop somewhere around 7-10 days or so and let them grow up from there. You can still use some LST here with some string and duct tape to keep the overall canopy even by pulling down those overanxious tops. Keep her going mate.
My guess would be due to light intensity. The inner plants are directly under the most intense part of your light. I've got my garden setup to account for this happening. I put my younger clones in the middle directly under the strongest light to give them a blast and try to keep them as compact as possible during their first 2-3 weeks in 12/12. Then around week 3 they get moved towards the edges more, and new clones go in the middle again. They all mature nicely along the edges, and still get good light since the inner plants are lower down.
the light above the scrog is @ 14" (give or take as they'll grow an inch before I raise the light again) but it will be set @ 12" from week 5 on or when they start stacking n packing. the light in the 8 plant tent is @ 16" for first few days, then i'll drop it to 14" and continue as with the other grow. they're not light cool but I do have an oscillating fan constantly blowing between the canopy and the lamp so maybe I could get it down an inch or 2, i'm just para bout burning em... I've done it a few times now in all stages of growth too, even week 7 flower. I cant get to them all the time, perhaps 3 times a week so have to be careful with light positioning, especially at this stage (stretch). the scrog is accessible pretty much all the time though and is checked daily. what height do you rec the light be at, 600w hps not aircooled.You are correct from my understanding of soilless you are pretty much running hydro if you are using chemical fertilizers, and as far as judging hydro based on the strain the chronic goes that would be a poor decision, the chronic from serious seeds is a commercial strain with a thc content in the teens so if your used to smoking 27%s it prolly wont do a whole lot for you.
Bad ass looking bud man, i would of course rep you if i could but i cant...
As far as the training goes man i would continue to do it as long as you can and as long as its effective, its really all again about keeping the canopy as even as possible and nothing else, also your light seems a bit far away, is it air cooled, or do you just need that much distance to get adequate coverage?
