and what i can do to adjust for the next one

are you asking about next grow you want to do it again and want advice? I'm sorry but your question was kind of vague. It looks like you tied most of the branches the same direction, is that cuz of your monster shading the area your not tying them towards? the moster looks closer to finish than this one, i would work on tying some colas into that area, . then when the monster goes away they will be getting more direct light, which in a way isnt quite as important as you'd think, the top leaves dont stop all the energy from going any further when they absorb what they can, the rest passes through. Bricktop and uncle ben taught me that. Your plant will greatly benefit from getting all the energy the moster was taking though.

ya im sorry for the vague question...and you are correct with your guess that bend is the only option really, and they are at 2 different stages of growth, therefore the one that is lst'ed is on a garbage can so that it can be close to the canopy top....and i really hope it looks closer to finishing the monster has been taking forever, at the end of this month it will have been through 4 months of flowering instead of two (but i am pretty sure its due to light leak)

live and learn

thank you for all the useful information!
