Question about leaning plant

Hello new question and issue. One of my seedlings is leaning to the left. Any ideas?

It’s probably leaning toward the light. Nothing to worry about.

just let it do its thing for a few days, then you can use something like a bamboo skewer if still needed. She will likely straighten to the light anyway. :+1: :sunglasses:

Thank you both. Just concerned me because the other one right next to it is doing just fine no leaning.

Sorry @MidwestGuy @Budz420 I have one more question I know I posted about this yesterday but here are better pics of the yellow colors on one of my plants.

Too early to really tell much. They are growing well. You will see them better when they are a couple of inches tall.
Don’t panic. :sunglasses: :+1:

@Budz420 Well this morning she is almost on the ground. Should I prop her up? Can’t help but worry as this is my first grow.

@MidwestGuy what do you think today?

Blow on her, a little airflow will help strengthen that stem over time.

Center your light on her. I can tell from the shadow that she is leaning for the light.

It’s nothing to worry about too much.

Ok thank you. That shadow is from my flash on my phone.

You can use dirt to prop her up. Just make a little hill around her. Gently straighten her out. And gently pack the hill to keep her there. Misting the dirt a bit makes this easier.

I still think she will straighten herself up. Although your stem is not vertical (maybe the tap root came out to the side), the leaves are growing horizontal to the soil - so she is trying. She just needs more than 24 hours to recover an straighten up.
Just my opinion - patience is key. :+1: :sunglasses:

My Purple Haze started like that, turned out just fine. Just make sure you have some air moving on her and when you transplant make sure to bury the leaning part if you can.

Awesome thank you everyone. I appreciate it. I did use a little dirt to prop her up a little bit she seems to be perking up. So glad this forum is here. :+1::+1:

Try and keep the light above the plant not off to the side. What kind of soil do u have there. The plant looks good i dont see any concerns just keep the light above the plant and watch the node spacing

Thanks, I ended up not needing it, was a little concerned the stems were weak and I don’t use silica, but she held up fine.
