Best to anchor base of trunk in opposite direction. It'll slowly pull itself through the medium and potentially damage it's own roots. The current tension as well as the plants attempts to turn back vertically. LST is simply about breaking apical dominance, which you accomplished. Hopefully, you have a target canopy you want and devised a plan working backward from that to guide your training process... just doing so whimsically won't be as effective. I'd recommend pruning off anything below the bend. Grwoth below a big bend always suffers. Even if you manage to keep it level with the rest of the canopy, it'll still be smaller buds at similar vertical height of any other primary branch. Also, prune off any axilla that is pointing straight down - leaves will turn toward light or you can help them in the process by bending them a bit, keep those fan leaves, when possible. As above, the ramifications of pointing down and having to curl back around the stem makes for weaker branches when comparing apples to apples (buds at same height etc). I've tried lst bending between the axilla so that each is 45 degress from vertical, but that just ends up with an over-crowding. Taking off 25% (the 1 axilla facing straight down) and keeping the ones pointing horizontall and upward is 'enough.' -- even that you may need to sacrifice "one" if it doesn't fit the plan.

Hi Fred, Amazing job you done there! Keep up the good work! Growers love!

It’s okay, these plants are quite resilient. For future grows - 1. Always offset your seed, meaning if you’re going to be bending it right then plant the seed a bit to the left, this gives you more room to work with. 2. Start LST really early. You want to bend it as soon as it’s strong enough but still bendy enough. That way you can open up the middle faster. Good luck!

It's fine that pal
