Default my seedlings are leaning!
So this is my first grow, I'm still learning so go easy on me if I did something stupid. I read somewhere that some growers don't fertilize their plants the first time until a little before they start turning yellow. im not sure if that is a good thing to do but regardless, I decided to give it a try. after I put the proper amount of foxfarm nutes in and checked to make sure the PH was perfect, I came back a few hours later and my plants were leaning over a lot.
see picture.
Im not sure what to do here and I would love it if someone could tell me weather or not I should be worried. thanks so much

Yeah I would actually assume my cat got in and stepped on it but the leaves are facing towards the light and that tells me its just the stem. so im not sure.

it's fine. they'll most likely straighten themselves out as they get bigger. mine did this before. just give them time and they'll be fine.

if there going towards the light its probably just the plants phototropism...so you could try moving the light closer if its kind of far away, what type of light are you using? and how close are they? when you transplant just bury like 1.5 in. of the stem

same thing happened to me, get them staked up if they get worse and get a fan blowing on them to strengthen the stems. Most likely the stems are becoming to weak to support the leaves coming in.

i would say since there flos you can move them closer to your lights like 2 in. a way to check if its to close is to put your hand between the plant and light and if its to hot for your hand move them a little farther away
