stunted auto, early flower

[Terrencetee]

Problem: Stunted / slow growth on my 2 RGG XL's. I feel like they were stunted after too early of an LST, otherwise I have no clue where issue could be coming from
-Medium/grow method: soil bio bizz light mix, 11L pots
-Feed and supplements used: Issue appeared before first feeding. I was watering around the edges of the pot around 150ml each plant a day, prior and after the issue
-Water source: Tap water that stayed in open container for atleast 24Hours.
-Strain and age : Sweet Seeds Red Gorilla Girl XL AUTO, sprouted on March 6th 2022
-Climate: Day Temp : 27-28 celcius. Night Temp: 20 - 21 celcius. RH 30-40
- Light used: HID, 20/4 light cycle 250 HPS
-Additional info: Plants were growing quick the first 10 days, however they were stretching alot, so I decided to tie them down a bit whitch I think has caused the stress

The 2 plants have started to flower super early and have been stunted some way in early stages which is resulting in a small plant that is flowering.
These 2 girls are running with 2 NL auto's which are doing pretty good.
I was wondering if they can still put on a bit of height / weight and if it was worth it to keep them in my tent
Thanks!

Not enough lite causes stretching and tying it down made it worse.F lowering this early will slow or stop veg growth so don't expect much and maybee add more soil to th pot and try and straiten them out.

Thanks, I just untied them!
I'm not expecting much, just wondering if I can expect atleast abit more growth from the lower nodes; and if it was even worth me going full term with them as I was thinking they may absorb light from the bigger plants.

getting a bit late to start a new grow indoor as temps are getting warmer, I just figured i'd leave them ...
