Bud too close to the light

Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

I would say to super crop it. Look at week 8 of my journal to see a heavy super cropping. DONT just bend it. you have to squeeze the stem all around to soften it up. once its soft you can get a little bend in it. then try to keep softening the stem a bit higher and lower. eventually you will have it soft enough to safely bend without breaking anything. Tie it down as it will start to straighten over time. After 5 days you can untie it and expect it to straighten a bit more but not much.

your best bet is to bend the top cola sideways and LST it. If the stem is too tough it'll only bend a little before it tries to break. If you're dead set on keeping the top up its still an issue. Let it grow into the light. If it starts to touch the light though. I would remove it.
