Too little space - Flowering stage

[apabura]

Hello,
I'm growing indoor in a bucket and currently in week 3 of flowering stage.
Made a mistake and let the plant grow too much and now the fan leaves are up the light source covering the light. Don't want to cut the fan leaves, do you guys have any suggestions on how to allow more light to pass through?
There are two plants in the bucket, figured I'd just tie them to the walls of the bucket, is that a good idea or should i just let the top fan leaves to get all the light?

Tie that branch over almost 90 degrees if you can. If you are in week 3 of flower cut back a bunch of those fan leaves and let the light penetrate .. Do you want to grow leaves or bud's ? Do not be afraid to cut out a bunch of those bigger fan leaves ..
