Will flowering branches flopping over cause problems?

I have a dense room and a plant has grown about 2 ft threw the trellis I build for it. Now it's flopping over and has branches laying over the top of the trellis. Some branches are laying on each other and over other bud sites. I can't reach over the canopy to install another trellis. Basically wall to wall canopy.

I'm wondering if I can finish out like this. Or if I should take some preventative action. I'm at day 35 of flower.

I guess I might be able to cut into the trellis so I could install a second layer, then patch it back up later with zip ties. I'd probably break a bunch of stuff in the process.

Ideas?

Are the ones laying over getting light coverage? And is there no way to use twisties or soft yarn to hold these branches up? The bend will form a callous and will not break.

They are getting some light. Looks like the flopping branches are blocking light to whats underneath them, and to each other. Just looks like so much compacted into a small area.

This is my first large grow and I've never had to deal with anything like this. It could have been easily prevented if I had prepared properly with a 2nd trellis about 1-1.5 feet above the 1st one.

Without pics I'm just shooting in the dark but if possible just rearrange the branches. Unless they totally break they will adjust. Or adjust the light for coverage because they can hang upside down (people do it!) and finish.

If you truly can't get at it.. Even with a stick and a lasso knot to tie up to the ceiling then shoot some side lighting at it to help with the shadowing for lower buds... Any pics?

if you got 3ft' of clearance get some 3' bamboo poles (you can make em shorter if need be) run 1-2 of those into the bucket and tie up those buds to the bamboo.
