Plant stunted ?

Hey guys , so I have a first time indoor grow going. Of 4 plants , it's seems the ones skittlez strain ( back right corner) seems to be stunted for some reason compared to the others . Does anyone know why this may be ? The all get the exact same light, soil , nutrition etc . Except i noticed it seems the ones plant has footed itself in the soil side ways as opposed to more straight up. Why would this happen? I believe it happened during transplanting . Could you place the plant off balance like this and it stunts the plant ? It also seems like i wont be able to train the plant because the rooting is just too unstable . Curious , thanks

it could just be a dodgy seed, it happens. not all seeds are created equal
has it had to bend to reach the light at any point in its life?

Overall it hasn't had a reason to bend . From the starter cup I had it in it was growing straight up . It seems after the transplant and packing down the roots to try and get the plant balanced and even ,it's almost like the plants roots got ripped and loose maybe and the plant started to tip it seems after that point .

Every plant from seed will be slightly different. That sideways one looks like it needs more time for roots to recover from transplanting. Just give it the love; will catch up eventually. Root damage certainly slows growth. Off centering the root ball in the new container could be a factor but once roots start to get into the new medium that weird plant should start to normalize. It is possible also that this plant was in too small a container for too long. I’ve stunted more than a few like this by waiting a bit too long for grow space to open. Good luck & happy growing
