It got a 'knot' in the middle of the stem where I bent it over but it healed fine on its own and actually looks kinda better than the cola thats tied over? The plant that wasnt tied has just as big 2ndary colas as the one that was tied so??? Unless I didn't do something right, I prob wont tie mine over no more unless I need the head room? We'll have to wait a lil while longer to tell for sure...

The snap you heard means you went too far for what you were trying to accomplish. Since it was the main stem that you snapped, the plant had to heal the main stem and while the main stem was focusing on healing, the side branches were still growing. I had this happen to a plant I was LST'ing a long time ago, it was hanging by a thread. I propped and splinted the damage and by flower time, the plant was 2-3 times bigger than the others and the knot it grew to heal the break was twice as wide as the actual stem it repaired.
