Grow question

Ok so I've been growing this particular plant (named Blitzen thanks to a certain member of the forum) and it seems to be growing kind of "crooked", does this picture look fine to you? If not, whats your advice to change it?

Also, sorry for the blurry photo but I only have my Phone to take the picture.

Looks like it got a bit stretched, but it will be fine. Tie it up between two chop sticks (or something similar) with string if you're worried.

Just do a small scale version of what you do with new trees.

Alright thinks, I'll probably just leave it be then. One follow up question though, I'm still new to growing, what would cause it to become "stretched" so I know how to avoid it for the rest of my seeds?

Not enough light or the light is too far away......you can cover the stem up with soil....

Yeah you can....just make sure it is not in the shade all the time..........
I dont keep it in a shadow, I keep it in a clearing that gets close to the needed 12 hours of sunlight (ideal situation not averaging in the occasional Florida rain etc) and since I don't control the clouds (kind of hard moving vapor in the sky away from my plant) I cant control light being too far away or it not shining through enough.

A plant wit full light won't stretch that much or maybe something else was covering it......try replanting it if you can and cover some of the stem so it wont be so stretchy.......well anyways just trying to help..........good luck
