The damn thing just would not stop growing. Probably take the tape off in a few days. I have taped several broken branches in my first grow where I tried almost every training technique known. All the branches healed in a short time. I expect the same here.Got to do what you need to do. Good job. I use the rubber bendable wire and tie the top down. Also I am not sure how long to keep the duckt ape on. Maybe it is not ever an issue and does not need to be removed. Just a friendly thought.
