Major stretching in flowering

Hi.
I’m growing 2 x Fast Buds Purple Lemonade and 3 x Fast Buds Gorilla Cookies.
One of the Gorilla Cookies has stretched much more in than the others. You can see it in top right of pic. It’s odd cos these plants are meant to be shorter than the Purple Lemonade.
I don’t think it’s stretching for light cos it’s under a 600w HPS and just over a foot away.
Is it just a strange phenotype or do you think something might be wrong.
The Gorilla Cookies did seem to be more sensitive to nutrient burn at the tips. The Purple Lemonade seem fine.
Would you recommend some LST or is it too late and I should just run with it.
There’s several weeks to go as you can see and worries they stretch much more as they I’ll grow out of room to lift lights. The other two Gorilla Glue may be about a week behind cos they took extra time to germinate and break through their hard shells. In fact they got trapped and I had to remove she’ll with tweezer.

I don't think there is anything wrong, the plant is simply displaying a sativa dominance to grow taller.

Gently bend over and tie off the taller tops. I don't find I need to do any manipulation to the stem. You don't need a sharp 90 degree turn, just a gentle bend and no stress to the plant.

This will result in a move even canopy and instead of the top "cola" stacking up buds, each bud will grow vertical on its own.

Cheers.
 
Cheers.
I’ll tie off the taller ones.
It is more sativa dominant than any I’ve grown before. I was just a bit worried that the one plant had stretched more but the other two Gorilla Cookies are about a week behind.

I had the same shit happen to me on my first grow and I didn't read enough to anticipate it. Just supercrop the tall ones and you'll be good!

Is it okay to supercrop autos?
I’m a bit scared to try supercropping just now as I’ve never tried that before
I have managed to lightly bend them and tie them down without putting much strain on them.
