Are there any fans on it? A breeze will strengthen the stem up.

Fairly typical of o plant with a two thirds dominance of Sativa genes and not something to be worried about.

I think she’s perfect for her age! Give her a bit of time to fill out, as long as she can hold herself up I see no issues. 🌱

It’s that pheno! Happens! More sativa leaving pheno. Do you and your siblings look alike? Not exactly —- same with plants

Sun Bending Seeding Stem Germinated Indoors - Should I harden off?
Is the sun killing my seedling? Small Black Plastic pot outdoors - Temperature 76F, Sunny with little to no wind. Seedling germinated indoors 1 day ago. Stem was straight, now very bent after 1 hour in the late afternoon sun. Is hardening off necessary at this stage?

Stem on plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher
The stem on this plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher. Any ideas on strengthening it up or will this hurt me further along?😲 I think this plant got knocked over once so perhaps thats it, just hope it doesn't choke the plant further along. Ideas?

Seedling stem bending
Any ideas as to why the stem is bending like this? Day 8, 2.75 inches tall, 33% humidity, 77f temp. The seedling did originally stretch but seems to have stopped in the last couple of days and focusing on growing leafs. Thanks in advance

Seedling strength
Do I need to do anything with these seedling to make sure they grow straight and strong? They are growing sideways trying to reach the sunlight from the window. Also, what is up with the purple stem?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?
Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Over water? Damping? Heat? Alive? Dead?
Bent stem, possible damping off, still alive though two days later. Drooped day after, but droop is going away, not growing much though.

Plant does not look good, can anyone help?
Had already asked yesterday what a deficiency this can be, but yesterday it does not say as dramatically as today at noon. Need help don't want it to break, maybe one of you can tell me what I can do and what it is natural. Continue to stay healthy and happy growth.
