Left the vent on a young plant

Went away for 4 days, had installed the vent, came back to see this. What would you do, try to. Prop it up, or try to grow it like this. It's like the plant LSTd itself with the wind. Strain is an autoflower

can you re-train it without breaking it? if not, i'd leave as is. if you cover the portion of trunk with substrate, it'll differentiate and grow roots eventually. having all that foliage touching the substrate isn't optimal. so if you can elevate it a bit, that may be the better choice. the plant doesn't look like it stopped growing? so as long as it's still big enough it might be worth it. Being an autoflower, it just depends on how much it stalls or otherwise misses out on growth. might lose a chunk of typical yield.

I could try to retrain it, the plant is in its 2nd week of veg, but the problem is, that the roots aren't fully developed yet. If I tried to prop it up, I would risk damaging the roots, because the plant itself does not have a good connection to the soil, it felt like I was ripping it. I will let it grow out and later cut off the nodes and leaves who touch the soil.
