day 14 12/12 problem any advice appreciated

Hi ,under estimated the stretch of these ,growing 2 og # 18 and 2 vanilla kush ,started flower 14 days ago and the 1 og # 18 went from around 10" to just under 3' lights can't go up any more,and i figure they still have about a week of stretch left ,so this morning i gently bent the 2 tallest colas around 6" down and tied them down .These plants are all so healthy didn't want to do anything to stress them but had no choice.The problem I see now is those 2 main colas are now facing down away from the lights (i'm using 10 42 watt cfl's 8 on top in y splitters and diy reflector 1 on each side for side lighting)I'm hoping they will turn back to the light ,anybody have any experience with this situation? also would it be 2 late to supercrop those colas at 14 days into flower ,they are already showing great bud development at 14 days would hate to stress them.The other og 18 I have is about 10" shorter guess I got 2 different phenos from reserva privada topped them all in veg usinf ff soil and nutes.Any advice tricks or tips welcome and appreciated. Thanks

anybody? sorry cant do pics

Should be fine,ive even pinched or accidently broke it and just taped for a few days it will grow a big not but also lets the bottom bush out.

Thanks for your reply,I didn't snap the stems like you do when super cropping just bent them over been a couple of hours now just looked at them and colas are already starting to turn to the light ,now if it just stops stretching i'll be good i think

The plants will turn towards the light eventually. However, LST shouldn't really be started in flower, but you should be ok. The tip will start bending towards the light, give it some time.

I have lst'ed in flower no issues I used the weight method with clothepins to hold down branches. BTW I don't pinch the branches with the pins but use the opening to surround the stem and weight it down they are cheaply had at 99 cent stores. I do this on M's too.

good idea the clothes pins might have to do this with the vanilla kush too as overnight it stretched to the lights also.can't believe all these except 1 og 18 pheno stretched 3 to 3.5x in ht since 12/12
