If it's above the angle where light would hit it?
What will happen with top cola


So my top cola is above the angle where it would get the most light (light lenses). Usually I raise the light some, but don't want the top cola to keep growing taller during the rest of stretch, and would like the other bud sites to catch up.

Would leaving it as is allow the other sites, which have proper light, to catch up? Or will the top cola grow even taller to try to seek more light?
 
Currently at 3rd day of week 3 flower. 39 total days since seeds sprouted.

Bigger one is ~3 feet tall. Fastbuds Lemon Pie.

It will outgrow the rest due to apical dominance unless you do some LST (which if you do this late in the free on stretch you need to be careful of as the stems are more brittle).

This is the latest in the flowering stage that I could in good faith recommend you do LST and the plant have adequate time to recover.
 
Looks good, it'll come right back up facing the light but I'd have gone down another 6 - 8 inches .... after it turns up you'll not have saved much space......but the bend looks good..no cracks...even cracked they heal themselves overnight if supported
I actually did slightly crack it, right at a node branch. Think it will be okay? Should I leave as is, or cover it with tape or a bandaid (loll)? It's fully intact and supported on its own - just tied down to main stem.

It'll heal fine. if worried you can add a drop or 2 of honey or aloe on it, if its supporting itself you didn't bend it too far over and it'll be fine...squeeze pinch and wiggle the more wiggle the easier the bending. if the stalk is to firm / old it won't bend very easily but the young stuff bends great specially though the stretch.
