i have a three day old plant that i am taking care of for my buddy and it began streching because i got the lights on it a little late. the stem grew a about three inches long before i got lights on it and was drooping to the left. now that i have had the lights on it for a couple days the plant is doing well but the stem is a bit wavy, it grows up then right then it grows back left. is there any way to get my stem to grow straight up?

I had that problem one time, switched from briefs to boxers jk
:drumroll: :cymbalcrash:


Have you thought about training your plant?click on the LST link below.your plant will straighten up and grow towards your light, no worries.

another helpful trick is to rebury the plant by adding dirt to the pot or by transplanting (carefully!) to a deeper hole. dont let the dirt get too near the lowest leaves (psuedo-leaves, cotyledons)though, otherwise they may very well become infected and die.

i used a clip (one of those tha people use in office stuff) and i bent it, trying to find a way to make a support for the plant, then i stuck it close to the plant and it worked perfect, just be carefull and don't hurt your plant.. so don't go to deep!

DONT TRY TO MAKE THE PLANT GROW STRAIGHT!! Leave the light on it and keep taking care the way u have been. When the plant gets 6-12 in. tall, it is better to have the plant tilted so the bud area is directly facing the light. Just move the plant so the light hits the flowers directly, and you'll find the ripest, biggest buds imaginable on that plant!!
