Light burn, any advise?

Hello growers, I was wondering if I could get some advice. Here is a bit of data. I am growing 1 plant, it is my second plant ever, and it is in a 5X5X7 tent. It has a Vivosun 1000 watt MH/HPS lighting system, is about 3 weeks into flower and the light is set at 600 watts. I changed from a MH bulb to a HPS bulb yesterday. The plant is in a 5 Gallon fabric pot with a 75/20 Coco/Perlite mix for medium. It was supposed to be an Early Miss Auto from Crop King seeds but it didn't Auto. After 11 weeks in veg I changed the lights to 12/12 to see if I could make it start to flower and thankfully it did but she is a bit of a beast.

Now for the issues, I went away for 9 days and had my son watering the plant. The one cola grew and got too close to the light so when I came home I found the top of the one cola burned a bit. I pulled the cola over away from the light and tied it down to avoid further damage and it is only on the one but I am not sure if I should be doing anything else? Should I clip the top of the cola, the whole cola or just let it be and see how it goes? Here are some pics.

Just leave it. It will be fine. The burned part won’t but it will just shrivel up.
Thanks very much. Just wasn't sure if I should be trimming that part or not so I appreciate your response. First time dealing with a burned plant. Well, one that I didn't burn intentionally that is. :bigjoint:
