End of week 2 of flowering

Hello all. Just a quick update on my first grow. I've discovered that this strain is prezidential kush crossed with alien rock candy. I know the main cola is much taller than the rest and I've decided to just let it grow how it's going to grow aside from a little bit of pruning. I fimmed it after week 4 and switched to flowering after week 7 due time constraints. This grow started off with mgmc soil. After week 2 or so I switched it to ffof. It's mostly been nothing but ffof, smart pot, and tap water under the hyrdo crunch 300w tent kit. No nutrients added. Do you think the main cola will start to lean over once it gets more weight? I have another seed of this strain and nutrients that I'll try on it next time. I'm not expecting a huge yield, but I'll be happy with whatever she gives me as I'm sure not all first grows are perfect due to lack of experience and knowledge. I can handle some constructive criticism. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

you might need to feed it soon, just knowing FFoF.
My honest opinion, it looks happy and healthy and you are doing well, maybe a little on the smaller side for 9 or 10+ weeks old, I'd lower the light closer - and clean up the bottom branches/leaves that aren't getting much light, and start feeding it.

Thanks for the reply and input. I only bought enough nutrients for one plant from seed to harvest so it's too late to use them now. I'll wait until the next one. It is small, probably because the first few weeks I had it under a 19w light until I got the 300w one. The light is 12" from the top. The tent is only 48" tall and the plant is now 22" so there's not too much room to play with the light. It doesn't appear to be bothered by the light being that close. I just did a little bit of LST to open it up and allow better light penetration. I think I should have topped it instead of fimming it. Maybe I'll try that next time to hopefully avoid the tall single main cola.

you can always feed, if you don't my guess is that within 4 weeks your plant will begin starving, yellowing prematurely, and slower to finish than it should be, but I could be wrong. you are doing just fine.

I wanted to get my light closer to the lower colas without burning the top cola. I thought about topping now, but I'm afraid it's too far into flowering and might kill it or effect the yield. Hopefully this will help a little bit.

topping will not kill the plant, effect the yield, maybe a little, if you are done with stretch it makes no sense to top it cause it wont likely be getting any taller anyway.

Don't top!
Yes tieing it down will def help!
Can always supercrop if needed as well.
