That crop is long gone and in the end I did play around with bending as I never did prune them. Since they were pollinated they never did developed anything much of a kola. It was all shit in the end. Mostly, I wasn't sure how tall they would get as such I started flowering too late. I think u have already seen my current crop and this time around I will be starting flowering much earlier. In fact I will likely start them on 12/12 this weekend or possibly Monday.
