My 5 week old plant's stem is growing crooked.

I don't know how to get it to grow straight, there is not too much fan on it and the light is directly above it so i know it isn't reaching for the light in a weird way. Am i watering too much? once every two days. 12/12 light. maybe my plant is just weird? its a feminized northern light plant sativa.

What kind and how much light are you using?
It might just be stretching for the light.
You can stake it to support, or rotate the plant 180 degrees to make it go the other way.
 
150 watt florescent hanging light. I wish i had a damn pic, its very healthy just crooked in the middle. i keep turning it. i'll just stick some bamboo around it. just started flowering.

You should see my flowering sugar punch - she looks like a sideways 'Z' at the top after I tied her down with fishing weights! LOL

Don't worry about it overly I'd say - a bend might work to your advantage. Could result in more bud sites being exposed to light. Only reason to need plants straight and uniform is a human aesthetic need rather than a requirement of the plant in my opinion.

watering every 2 days cant be good..and keep that light no more then 3 inch's from plant .you will still have to keep raising light but it will slow that stretching ,but it is a sativa so see gonna wanna stretch!
