Well, it starts going not how you like it you just trim it and make how you want then you can stick it in the dirt the pieces you trimmed

How close is the grow light? It can also be getting too much light

probably like a foot away, i had it further but then it became really droopy so i moved it closer

it looks like the new growth is growing normally but it’s not going to fix the old growth being stretched. i say just chop and prop (propagate) and drop (plant in a pot) lol
