Your main stem

hey all im currently in veg stage of my grow now and the main stems of my plants are decently big. I've noticed some plants are growing with a slant growing towards the HPS light. My question is: if i moved the plants or the light the opposite way of my slanted plants can that cause damage to their stems? Or can that help them? If anyone knows what im talkin about or has any input +REPS to you.

No it doesn't hurt, All plants will naturally move and face the brightest point of light.

So if anything it will help strengthen the main stalk.

Its not like it will stress itself. It will slowly and gradually just face to wards to most light.

some of my plants have done the same thing and believe it or not its almost like a natural LST but in reality is your rooting system either you didnt transplant deep enough or root growth is more on one side of pot what i do is stick them up add more soil to hold it up straight

i left them lookin like that and will post a pic of them in flower

While a plant leaning over because of a lack of soil base for its root is possible, its far more likely this is a case of the plant simply leaning towards the light.
