Young plant toppled over? Should I just leave it like that?? Pics included

My plants stem has just kind of toppled over to the side, just like it LSTed itself. The plant looks fine, the leafs are turning up towards the light and everything. So should I try and bring the baby back up with the help of a crutch or just let it be? Im growing first time, did not expect this to happen.Here judge for yourselves:

Get that baby propped up or just build a mound of dirt round the base of the stem to support it until it can hold itself up or if you can bury that stem a little deeper in the soil

word. the stem will actually become part of the root sys at the young age of the plant.

I would transplant into individual pots. Don't wait for them to get too big bro. That's the one part you wanna do correct.

The roots are gonna always be more than you think.

It looks happy leave it like that, dont force it to straighten.

I agree with BUDS. I have had plenty of this and they grow just the same as the ones that have straight stems

That plant has a pretty skinny stem on it that could be the reason for the fall over it couldnt support itself it will be fine put a fan on it to simulate wind you need to do this when they are smaller like this to beef that stem up after a week of air blowing on that plant the stem will almost double in size

bury tht stem its not gunna be strong enough

i would leave it on its side and bury the stem more. better safe then sorry.. propping it up could damage stem more if your not careful

I think it'll be fine. Just hoe it up a little. You might break it if you try to straighten it. Looks to me like the plants into a little LST.

leave it like that = possible early LST for it?


*edit ahhh bird beat me to it lol

It can go either way...prop it up or leave it down...it will grow back towards the light if you leave it there...it will also grow if you prop it up...Do you want a sideways plant or a straight plant? I had one that got trampled so it was over on it's side and the stem was bent below the cotyledons...so I just reburied all of it except the topmost leaves...it looked really weird is the only reason I buried it all...broken and sideways but then still growing...now you can't tell anything ever happened to it...
