bending stems??

[ravenspyz7]

hello all i am currently growing an autoflower strain and am on day 24 and notice that some of my plants are really crooked and ive already had a couple fall over and when i pushed the soil around i seen the stem very bent. Is there a way i can prevent my plants from the stems bending?? any suggestions?

r they bending towards the light?? if so they may need it closer. hard to say without a picture.

Hi,

I think 2dog is on it... Usually plants with a bend or kink low on the main stem get that way from not being on a level surface and then growing toward the light in that position. Has your plant always been on a flat surface under the light? The best prevention is to make sure they are on a flat surface... If that didn't cause it I'm at a loss...

Peace!

the falling over means they are stretching to the light and getting top heavy...u can replant them deeper into dirt and move th light closer or prop them up with a plastic fork or chop sitcks and make sure they get a little breeze to make them grow strong.
