Seedlings with a 90 degree bend..?

Looking at my babies this afternoon and I know they have only been sprouting out of the soil for a few days but a couple of them have sharp bends towards the setting sun. Like near 90 degree angles, only 2 out of 10 are doing this... Does anybody know of a reason why they would be doing this? what corrective measures to make or if they will correct themselves without intervention?

I haven't had enough years under my belt to see much of what can go wrong, I'm not overly worried, just curious...
 
I had one doing the exact same thing. I kept trying to straighten it by turning away from sun direction, propping it up, nothing kept it up. I just let mine go, and it basically LST'd itself.
 
So just let the little bent ones continue on their own merry little way then?

I wonder if it's a genetic thing or something happened to them after they first sprouted to make them bend like that...
 
Might be an auto LST strain.....Lol just kidding they should be fine I would just let them go and see what happens or tie it up very gently.
 
I always rotate my plants or seedlings that bend, its like exercise for them building stronger cell walls.
