Baby is growing crooked! Help my baby! PICTURE

[PurpFreshy]

Here's a pic Attachment 283963of it, its obviously super crooked. This is common for most plants in general. Also during the night I have it behind a pc fan to strengthen it. Any help? Also should I change my lighting schedule to 18/6.. I was doing constant light. This was to heighten the plant.. But I think I need to go down to let it bush out.. Idk you tell me!

It's growing toward the light. Looks like you turned it recently.

If the light is at that angle the light bends its leaves to grab as many lumens as possible.

If the light is directly above the plant it will grow straight.

Good luck

Thanks I thought maybe it was the light. Also thought it was maybe getting overly tall?

Its the light, you should have the light directly above the plant. It will help the plant grow straight. I do a 1/4 turn every day to make sure she gets light at all angels and stays straight.

You can change your light to 18/6, this will help it start to bush out. If you are wanting a bushy plant, chop the top in about a week. Or LST.

There are probably a hundred things you need to know.

Look in my signature, there is a link to a documented grow. Each week is documented.

That's the best I can do for you.

Yeah I figured the 18/6 is what I'm doing since last night, which is when I started 18/6, the plant already started growing bushes. I got a few pics. Uhm my mom bought me a black light and I was wondering can I use that to try on the plant? I've always wanted to. Just to experiment a little what y'all think?

Lol.. The Black Light is NOT beneficial for any reason. Although its main spectrum is RED, there is not enough lumens to make a difference in any kind. Even if you were to use it as a night light (Moon Light) it doesn't have enough lumens to cause stress or growth.

Ive used a Black Light before and I had it ON during the dark hours. Ive never noticed any significant changes.

You seen any difference in the growth? when you have a dark period your plant seems to bush out more i think thats what happend to mine, it was on 24/7 at first but then switched to 15/9. and the plants going nuts lol.

Oh yeah mine is growing like a weed. Lol Irony. But I just changed pots.. No immediate signs of stress but we will see in the morning. Lighting schedule as usual, and watering has changed a little. I have it in a self water absorbing pot. I'll show the grow site tomorrow. You'll get a kick. It'll be in my grow log. Lol

I'm wondering the effect of 2 UVA 10 watt 200 lumen black lights? About 24 inches and on only during the 6 hour night period... Experiments coming up hahahaha.
