Did you feed her?

Consider tying the ends farther down, but gently. The main stem may split at some point, but this usually is harmless. Topped plants often do this as the plant gets heavy. The benefits of further bending(LST) are more nodes get full sun, and sun leaves cover more area. More square feet, more tonnage. Sunlight produces food produces bud.

Yeah I fed her some nutrients with nitrogen

After 3-4 days after bending again I see a lot of the new growth coming in 
As I understand it, the goal of supercropping is to initially channel hormone into the areas of growth BELOW the "crimped" area. So if you want to increase the flow of hormone into side branches, or slow the rate of growth of any given branch, you crimp towards the END / TOP of the branch that is too tall, or has the side branching you want to beef up, which would in turn increase the flow of hormone into those side branches, and slow the growth of the "long" branch.

Has the yellowing stopped?

I did a few months back what you're doing right now. It'll turn out fine, look.

I checked on her today and see this , does this mean I need more soil on top of the roots showing or does this happen after a while ?

Roots, not always but most times, show up on the top of the soil. You can add more soil to them, but they might still come up later on. It's not a big deal really.

alright I'll just let it be , I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem for them to be showing

If you can keep feeding her the right amunt and keep those leaves green and healthy. Also depends on hrs of direct sunlight.

My plants have far outstripped my expectations both inside my greenhouses and out. I've supercropped about 200 branches so far to keep them from rubbing the ceilings in the greenhouses. Left alone they will form a huge knot of buds that are nearly impossible to trim. These knots can harbor mold as well.
The first year I had this happen, we had a huge number of ants in the yard. I found four nests in the knots. Apparently they were farming aphids, but that did little damage. The ants took everything and left when I hung those branches to dry. The buds were actually very clean, but extremely distorted.

Yeah, you gotta check the knot even if healed nicely. I've had ants going in too, farming aphids. They bring their game everywhere they go

I bent a little more after the first pic , I want as much bud sites as possible 
This is the one you see in the backround some early smoke
