My guess is they are growing towards the light. Are they indoor or out? If indoor put a light more directly on it.

Yes they are stretching, one way around this is to repot in larger pots and when you do bury her right down to one half inch below the lowest leaf, the larger pot will make her concentrate on root growth, the stalk will get larger and when she gets her roots to the outer most ends of the side of the pot she will then grow vertical, since she will have a larger stalk she will not bend.


Happens a lot with outside grows.

It is pretty wild for being untrained, but you can do some amazing things with LST so I wouldn't worry. If your worried take a stake of some sort and tie it up to straighten it. And try to get it some more direct light.

LST is a technique where you tie the top down then around the lip of your pot give even light to all your side shoots which are now all tops. It's used to increase yield.
