Looped Stalk

Ive been growing two identical genetics in one tent (Auto Froyo). One has surpassed there other by at least 2x so far. I noticed something last night while adding an LST clip on the small one. The damn stalk is doing a full 360* loop just under the surface of my Roxul cube. Ive never had this happen before, I germ in paper towel and place in split cubes, positioning correctly. I obviously screwed this one up. I'm letting her run through but I'm curious if anyone had had this happen and what was the end result? I'm thinking it will just be a runt at this point.

Its hard to see in this picture, but if you look closely at the Roxul you can see the stalk looping.

Nothing to overthink- plant is growing / adapting to your training.
Figured as much. Was kind of concerned that it may choke itself out or something like that. One thing I'm noticing is stability. Due to the loop it's leaning and feels loose. As it grows I know it'll tighten up. I'll just keep a close eye on it.

I'm commencing full force regardless.

Pretty cool. I’d like to see that when it’s done. May be an interesting piece for the shelf lol

True story, in my early days i had garbage lights, my 3 plants had stretched hard as seedlings. one was kinda falling over, so i doubled it back and knotted it on purpose. the plant grew fine like that, knot at the base of the stem. i kept that knot for years, it was my first harvested plant.
