Not growing from centre stem

[greentoe]

Hi everyone,

One of my plants have stopped growing from it's centre stem and is instead growing from two side stems. Overall growth hasn't decreased compared to the other plants, still just as many leaves, but the plant is obviously a lot shorter and wider. I started growing under 80W CFL's but moved outdoors 1-2 weeks ago. (pics are a bit old and were taken just before I moved outdoors)

Will this cause any problems in the future?
Anything I can do to encourage normal growth?
Would this occur in clones of the same plant?

Thanks in advance,
Greentoe

I've had that happen, not really something to worry about and I doubt clones will do the same thing.

 

The only time it has been a problem for me is when it happens to a seedling which has no other branches to continue growing from.
