Pole Beans and Pinching Off the Tops

Question

I am growing Kentucky pole beans from seeds in my house. They are now small plants. They are spindly, a very long thin stem grows from their tops. Someone told me to pinch this off. Am I supposed to pinch these long spindly stems off or leave them be?

Answer 1

They are not getting enough light and this is why they are leggy. Move a light source closer to them. I would wait to pinch them until they have a half dozen sets of true leaves, if you still want to pinch them at that time.
