Crooked main stem, how to fix this?

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.
I’ve had luck with using chopsticks in a pinch to keep stuff supported up from the ground when it’s too low. Wish I had some that were 2-3’ tall sometimes for use higher up.

Back to phototropism and the peeps with the plants posted in this thread - any ideas what light source the plant was going for at that angle? It’s purty odd to me that it’s neighbors were also not distracted by it and grew twords it a little.

I just ordered some plain bamboo stakes. I'm gonna use some to reinforce my mini tents. And they'll work great for support too. I'll just cut them to size.


No idea where their light was positioned. But I've had the same shit happen a bunch of times in my veg tent. Even though I had 2 lights in it, both plants kinda wanted to grow towards the center.

Nothing wrong with a little Peyronie's disease, :lol:. Just don't bend it too far or you're gonna have a bad day,:(:bigjoint:

My shaft has been crooked for 40 years and never had to attach anything into it. It's happens as a part of growing it will be fine. May just trim some fan leave if they end up blocking light
