check heat if it's over 75-80 it could be stunted i had to deal with that when i brought cfls in and put the right next to the leaves
 
def is bro i have all my vents closed so it gets warm in my room and i leave the door where its at closed for a couple of hours then i open the door and i have a fan on that hits it pretty well so it gets ventilation

id get a thermometer right in the base of your plant see what temp it is right in the bush to make sure i had that problem and i moved my hps up about a foot and my plant started growing like double as fast and lowered the temp by the plant dramatically
 
alright ill do that
i have 2 cfl's right above it like 2inch. from the top and the other 2 are at the side like about 8 inch away from the sides
im bummed out though cuz its been like a month and a half if not more and its tall but mostly leaves and stem idk if its a male but i hope i get SOMETHING from it i dont know how long it will take though

Sounds like your plant is locked out from too much fertilizer. Plus over watering can cause root rot and water every other day is too much. Also your new pot is too big. The roots try to fill in the dirt while the growth stops above the ground level. I dont even start to fertilize until my plants are 7-8 weeks old and overwatering can cause root rot and other root bound problems. I would plant in something smaller then 6 gals. Then I would let the soil dry until the pot feels light when you pick it up. Then flush with 3 times as much water as the size of the pot. Then water only for a while.
