Plants lean away from sun

Phaleg
Phalegstarted grow question 2mo ago
Some of my plants (ICE & White Widow) are developing a strange trend to lean away from sun. Balcony is exposed to S, but they bend to N. Should I correct it with tutor? I am concerned that the flowering weight will bend them down. I upload photos, please HELP 😅

Hi, also ich würde sie schon unterstützen, und sie festbinden. Was dubauch immer wieder machen kannst ist sie drehen, aber ne Unterstützung brauchen sie wenn sie richtig dicke Blüten bekommen sollen sie ja nicht abbrechen oder kaputt gehen. Sehen sehr gut aus deine Ladys. Viel erfolg

This happens to me with the plants on my patio (non-Cannabis) because the wall of my house is white and reflects more sun than what my plants get directly. My plants get about 5 hours of direct sun but the overall wall of the house gets about 10-11 hours and that light is then reflected to the plants. I'm not sure if that's what's happening in your situation but from your photos it does look like your house is white stucco so maybe it's a similar situation to mine.

were these indoor plants before? the idea that they might have been transplanted cooked is also a good one. rotate them.. did they keep bending from sun? good way to rule out that cause/effect. the only way it'd bend away is because it's getting more light than it can handle and a bunch of other potential symptoms that would coincide to verify... very unlikely if they were grown outdoors to start, but if you raised them with artificial light, the sun is a completely different animal.

Maybe its from the wind?? it looks like they are growing towards the light in the photos but could be a weird perspective. If you want to streak them I don't see an issue with it. maybe don't stab the pot with a streak but tie them up to the railing with string or thick rubber wire. Don't want them so tight that they snap with wind gotta have some wiggle room.

Are the winds strong there? This can also happen, if you didn't transplant the plants well, that is, if you didn't plant them straight, but no problem, the worst that can happen is that the side branches move towards the sun and you get a slight frost, I don't see a third possibility for something like this. Try tying them to the terrace with something that won't damage them, so at least they don't bend anymore, and maybe then the sun will pull them because they have a support, so they straighten up... try as you would if you were doing lst, to tie them to the terrace or some stake and every couple of days tighten it a little and it should straighten out. I hope that some of this will help, if it is one of the problems that I mentioned, and again, surely there are more experienced colleagues here, so someone knows something that I don't, but I hope that it is not a serious problem, at least it seems to me like what I wrote above. By the way, your plants are beautiful. Happy Growing!!!
