Hi all! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how i can get my mint leaves to all face forward? Its currently under this growgang light, but i think its direct source being above is causing the leaves to face that way?

You need a trellis in the pot then tie the stems on it. I'm sure someone can explain it better then me but thats what i did.

They reach towards the light so if you want them to reach in front of them I would put a tower light that is standing in front of them. Yours is large enough you could start staking but staking wont change the direction the plant reaches only light will do that.

That’s correct, the leaf face the light source so you would either need a good window or a standing bar grow light so it becomes front facing :)

thanks all - think i'll move it to our south facing window \& look into staking it 😊
