What shall I do with this baby???

HI ya'll... What do you think I should do with this baby? She is about 6/7" tall but doesn't look like she has enough strength
to keep herself up.
I read in a journal that some folk bend there plants to helps produce more branches and better buds.
I wasn't to sure if this would help this little one out in the long run or not

Your light needs to be lower..with fluoro's it can be real close..like an inch or two. Transplant immediately and carefully..bury the stem up to the cotelydons ( the first leaves-they are oval - no serrated edges)

I will agree with that statement plant it deeper all the way to the sprout leafs. that whole area will grow roots.besides if you don't it might dry up on ya

Thanks allot for the help. I shall get this done tomorrow when the next light cycle is due.

While on the subject, when would be the best time to bend the plant as it seems this is more popular than taking the head off of the plant.

Don't do any topping or LST until you transplant and dense up that stem. Get a small desk fan blowing on her, and take the good advice from the growers who posted before me. And please listen to No Clue and drop your lights lower. Thin leggy plants like that are a result of the light being up to far causing this stretch.

You can start that training anytime after 4 -5 sets of true leaves are build.
It's not about popularity but giving less stress to the plant. Wait until she gets strong enough.

Happy growing
