This is my very first time & it was luck it sprouted at all after almost being EATEN TWICE by my dog (so it’s short.. I think)!! I’ve only got the 1 plant & it was dumb luck I got a couple seeds to begin with... I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what stage it’s at?? I just started 12/12 but not sure if I did right thing...

Looking good!! :weed: how long since you sprouted? Are they showing sex yet? I'd suggest pulling the top off to stimulate side branching andsplit the main stem.

All you do is fold back the baby leaves on the top-most growth point and pinch off the very tip. That is the growth point where cell divisions occur- pull that off and the plant is forced to branch. If you don't pinch off enough, it's called FIMing the plant (fuck I missed). FIMing will continue to grow the main stem but slow it down via light damage/stress. Useful for height and canopy control.

If you have flipped to 12/12 flower I would not recommend Fiming. If it recovers it will extend the flowering time. It is most effective in veg.

I think it’s female..And it started sprouting in August but it was just about eaten by my dog twice!! Should I have started to change the light cycle??
