Don't know what to do!?! Will this damage her?

Hi
Its my first grow.
I have an auto galaxy in a pc grow, under 1x 2700k 23w cfl and 3x 6400k 23w cfls, and up till now wasnt worried about the fact it was so short. Growing really well, but short. she is about 18 days old from planting. I germinated in rock wool. and planted it straight into the hydroton. Since, I have removed most of it but a small bit remains. she has a crazy root system that has boomed in the last 3 days. I didn't want to take pictures of the roots in case the flash damaged them, probably stupid right?



I was going to ask if the fact the bottom leaves, sorry i don't know what they are called, are resting on the lid of my reservoir. And I can see I'm going to have to do something, prob Lst, about getting more light inside, under the canopy.
Then I noticed this....



It's not that the plant has a short base, the base has twisted around, and is making the plant grow sideways.

Should I try to straighten the stem so as the plant it growing straight up? should I leave it alone? Should I Lst it so as it tarts to grow more verticle?

I just don't know.

I'm new to using forums and don't have a clue if anyone will even see this, or if I have put it in the wrong section.

Many Thanks

Peace n Love

too much light hitting your roots and rez possibly, algae is green through photosynthesis

i use hydration and i always use a small piece of aluminumn foil and cover the hydro pellets .. stops all the green crap and shoots a lil light to the under carriage of the lower leaves and buds.. good luch. KEEP ON GROWIN.

You have a lot of algae growing on the rockwool cube(the green slimy stuff). You should pour some Hydrogen Peroxide on it then cover it with aluminum foil.

Hi

Thank for all your replies.
I will defo be lining the lid with an aluminium topper.



I took a little more of the rock wool out and there isn't tons of algae. But i will defo be covering it from now on tho.

What do you think about the fact its growing sideways?
