I noticed this a few days ago. The back side of the plant seems to have smaller side shoots and smaller flowers starting developing. At first I thought it was a difference in lights. (2)White 100 watt and (2) typical tri colored 145 draw UFO LED. They both have light spread , but the white LED side seems to be doing better.But, it is also closer to the top, although there doesn't seem to be any top dominance anymore.
Then I noticed the SPLIT.... at the base of the plant. I must have done it with careless LST. IDK, but:
1. Is the joint (fully healed now) sending less nutes to about 1/3 of the plant that is affected by this resulting in yield loss?
2. Or will the other colas just get bigger?
3. And.... is there IMG_3553.jpgIMG_3548.jpgIMG_3526.jpg a chance this stem could break off under the weight of future growth???
I don/t really have a way to support it.
 
Looks fine to me.
Stems will generally form a knuckle like scar where it has been injured.
I doubt it will break.

That break is nothing, if it get worse then tape it up with strip of gaffa tape or something similar. I've snapped loads of branches more than half way through so there hanging off and taped them up and they still came back.

About the lights, why not swap one set around, so there is one white light and one ufo on opposite sides, for example;

x= ufo
o= white light
