Week 5 Emergency Supercrop

So I have been running in to height issues on my latest grow and have had to super crop 3 of my plants main colas because they were getting bleached by the hps and going a funky yellowy white on top.

Made the decision to super crop them to try and save the main colas and supported them in their horizontal position with string.

The branches didnt snap or anything just had to bruise them good.

Realise this is high stress at this point in flower. Had to do it to others in week 3 flower and they didnt miss a beat was back upright within 3 days. These ones dont seem to be healing like the earlier ones did. The fold is still flat and there is no sign of knuckles forming and this is after 2.5 days since the break.

I now have a couple of heat shields to stop the heat issue reoccurring but I'm wondering if they will recover and whether it is worth supporting them to a semi upright position with string?

Just keep the support string there. They may or may not heal at the bend, but shouldn't hinder growth either. My branches started snapping last grow but still pulled thru fine
