phototropism (or heliotropism. this is the behavior plants exhibit whereby they seem to lean towards the sun/follow the sun as it moves across the sky. you can observe it clearly in daffodils and especially heliotrope (the plant species)). When you're putting her in the window sill, she's trying to grow towards the sun. keep your cfl 2-4" directly above and make sure that's the dominant light source she's getting (no more window silling). You can weather her later, when you're closer to transplanting, by taking her outside during the warmest part of the day to give her sunlight and get her acclimated for outdoor growing.View attachment 3032812my week old seedling seems to be tilting sideways, any ideas as to whats wrong? thanks in advance
be easy,
Edit: to correct this, rotate the plant so the bent side is facing the window/lightsource. after she straightens herself out, rotate her 90degrees every day.
