and here's a pic off the blueberry gum this thing is off tap thinking I might have scog (i think thats what u call it) its canopy is 65cm x 80cm maybe bigger any ideas welcome
...

RJ , that blueberry gum is off the hook. I took a look back to your pic's on 4/27 & there's a HUGE difference, sweet as can be!
You said SCOG, I think the term you're looking for is SCROG (SCReen Of Green) & that won't help you. SCROG takes a wild vertically stretching plant and forces the main trunk to grow horizontally under a screen. This gives the side branches time to catch up , and you can start training them under the screen as well.
The tallest part of a plant contains a compound called auxins that keeps it growing as the primary. By lowering it to the same height as the side branches, they get their share & try to take over as the primary. Now every side branch will develop much larger buds and the canopy receives more even light.
Your plant is doing its own training, so not much you can do except maybe buy some more of those beans!!!!!
And do some selective leaf pruning as the fan leaves begin to block bud sites.
And lowering the light over that plant mal help stop the stretch, but you're going to have to proceed with caution on that one. At 65X80cm you don't want to "outgrow" the footprint of your light, and I suspect 18" is probably as low as you should go and still get decent light coverage to the outer areas of the plant. Or plan B might be switching one of your COB's to that side to see if that discourages any further spread. But chances are, this will take care of itself as the stretch naturally finishes on its own. Then the top buds should start putting on weight.
When you get a spare moment can you take a height measurement on each plant & post that up? Would appreciate it much.
And the MARS 300's, do you have any specs on those as to spectrum and/or degrees Kelvin color rating? I'm curious how they compare to BigSm0's COB's which you said were 3000, 3500 & 6500.
Be checking back with you but tomorrow's the start of my fishing season so may be a day or two. Later!
