Bent Main Cola

This is one of my plants that is like 6 or 7 weeks into flowering and has a bent main cola. My "genius" grow partner had the grand idea of snap twisting this bud while he was stoned and possibly drunk. He got the idea from the Soma guide which he did not even read. the Soma guide says that snaping a plant gently without breaking the stalk during the vegatative cycle increase bud growth and lets more light hit the different bud sites. When successful snap twisting is supposed to create an eblow, which will form at the break point adding strenght. Well my plant was like 4-5 weeks into flowering when this break occurred and it has yet to create this elbow most likely due to the fact that my partner actually cracked the stalk when he attempted to snap twist.
Anyway i really would like to know if anyone has ever done this before and if its really that bad. So far it hasnt killed my bud and its size is increasing greatly its just leaning on a 90 degree angle :confused:. So please any opinions are appreciated this is only my 3rd or so grow and i never made it this far so tell me if the buds look alright. I threw in a pic of my other plant growing next to this one its more like 1 big nugget with some small side nugs. As the bent plant was topped and has 2 main growth tips and 2 side tips so itsl ike a few mid sized nugs.

What you feeding those things. Massive buds! i wouldn't worry too much it seems to be growing still. I'm on my first ever crop using LED's Tomato feed and water. I've read that LED's dont produce alot of yield as they're only 90w. But i cant afford the electric bills with HID HPS or CFL
