This is good, it is LSTing itself!
It is all about the plants' genetics and nothing to worry about.

Its just your plant bushing out. It knows its own leaves are above so it is spreading out a bit to get more light.

you definitely have nothing to worry about. Plant phenotypes grow differently. branches seek access to light and as soon as they find it, they begin to grow upwards.

Does too much humidity stop or slow flowering/growth?Does grow stop entirely with too high humidity? We are currently in a heatwave and I have no way of getting my humidity down.
