Unfortunately this is the biggest pot I have and the space for it wouldn't really work with a bigger one :\ it does have a lot of potential vertical space to grow into (maybe 4-5ft before I can't raise the light any higher) but I've read they can more than double in size during flowering, and I'm thinking it might be better to start now and err on the side of caution rather than risk it growing too tall. Do you think it would yield a decent amount if I start flowering now? I'm okay with less than optimal yield, I already know I'm shorting myself by not trimming/using techniques like SCROG/etc. I just want at least a couple ounces...
I'm glad it looks like it's doing okay, I feel so nervous like it's my baby or something.
Yeah I tried that with FIMming but I don't think I did it right, I wish I just topped it normally so I'd have two aesthetically pleasing main branches instead of... whatever the plant is trying to do now...
Also even if it turns out to be a male all that really means is you're going to have to do lots of de-seeding and for the love of god don't let it pollinate any of your neighbor's plants if they have any or they will be very upset.
But on the plus side if it does seed then you have plenty of options to try again

You mean it will still have some smoke-able, albeit less-potent and less-pleasant product? I was figuring if it was male all I could really do is try to process it into an alcohol based extract or something similar
This is my only plant so at least I don't have to worry about cross-contamination
Looks like it's doing fine. Definitely ready for a bigger pot though.

Yeah you can cut the top off the main stem to induce more horizontal growth (or so I have heard my only experience is with outdoor growing)
But it does look very healthy

<3 thank you for the reassurance
