just bend the top till it snaps and slinks over, the plant will then heal the snapped area and it will grow a stronger stem as well, this is called "Super cropping" or you can snip off a bit of the top forming 2-4 new growths, called topping or FIM(fuck i missed) which is better IMO.

it is stretched i would trash that and plant a new one... put the lights closer almost touching the plant it will keep it from stretching
