Hey all, im about 3 weeks into my grow and today i went to move some of my plants around and noticed that this plant here has been growing really crooked almost sideways. Is there a way i can fix this quickly? I put the plant the opposite direction it was last time to see if it will bend back straight. Anyone know of anything else to do or any input? If so +REPS to you.

It will straighten out by itself, grow "up" towards the light in time. It will be fine. Or you could use it to experiment with LST being that it's sort of giving you a head start doing so by itself. Either way, no worries.

I think you are doing all you can. I also dont think its hurting anything by growing a little cockeyed. Looks fine to me....good luck

okay, this is at the base of the stem, it is not going to straighten out on its own. u have two choices, dig it up gently & replant it upright, which will be fine OR leave it be. Actually if u r working with a height restriction, this could work to ur advantage because it will stay a bit lower & u could actually lst this easier to grow more horizontally. certainly leaving it this way, no harm will come from it :) But depending upon how u r laying out ur grow, this one could cause u a bit of a pain in the neck if it is growing into the other plants or their space, so if that is the case, best to replant.

I would cut off some bottom branches and top up the soil or whatever medium you used

I get these plastic forks when I buy Ramen noodle kits in bowls - at the Asian Market, not at Shop Rite, Hannaford, etc. i dont buy them anymore because they're unhealthy, but that's besides the point

These forks/spoons are nifty for many purposes. You can cut off one of the fork spears and jab the end in the dirt and prop the plants to the right angle between the spear points. You can also do this with an aluminum fork, but you need a dremel.

Bamboo stakes, or even chopsticks or skewers work too if they get bad. But the reason they get crooked is usually that they're reaching for the light.

you could just drill a hole in the opposite side of the pot and tie it up a litle at a time untill its strait, but it will do it naturaly, i like the LST training idea, as stated, you have a head start
