Yea don't worry about the kink. Just be careful when bending in the future. Do it when the branch is still soft. You can also bend it a little more each day to get it where you want.

As to if you should top it. I say NO. When doing LST you continue to bend the top around the pot. Then tie branches back (as they form) to fill gaps.

With clones I've found they build single leaf/single branch nodes for a bit. Which is easier then a seed plant, because seed plants put out two leaf/two branch nodes. With twice the number of branches it get pretty crowded.

Here are some pics of my LST (from seed). So I only made it half way around the pot. :thumbsup:
