At least lower the lighting. She's stretching like mad. Then when you repot it eventually, you could bury a lot of that extra stem. What kind and how high is your lighting?

I was afraid of that. It’s a crappy one from Walmart since I was shipped the wrong one and had to send back
Yes. Get a 1 gallon pot ready with some same soil mix you used for the cup the gallon need to be 2-4 inch taller then the eight of your plant from bottom of cup all the way to the cotiledon. You know why later. But after you got 1 gallon pot take the potting soil you have and wet it completly andet it sut 24 hours to grain for 24h..
go to the fish store and get a small bottle of aquarium nitrogen cycle. (these beneficial bacteria will innoculate your soil in the next step)
Add 2 inch of tgat soil that has been drenched 24 hours in the botton of the 1 gallon. Place your cup with the gorrilla glue on top of it, and check if the cotiledon are level or a 1inch more or less with the rim if it is. The perfect. Place a similar cup in the middle and your soil arourn it leveled with the cup dont compact it. . Take the pot lift it up 6 inch up let it fall down once. Add mor soil if level of soil lower.
Take the aquarium nitrogen cycling bottle and pour it around the soil. Move the plant after this into the middle if the soil from yoir plant is moist then its fin sould be fin to wet or to dry it could stick or come un done. So be careful. You an xacto blade to cut the side for safer less stress result and place the plant in the middle. Dont water (you've already done it. Just mist the top of it
Moistur will work its way to the center. And the reason it was sitting for 24h was to let some of that water dissipate.
At this point you have transplanted your plant into living soil for only a few dollars.
The beneficial bacterie will work its way into the medium and breakdown the nutrient from the mix that are already there. Your plant will not need nut for atleast 2-3weeks
In the mean time every 2 days you will top off with 1/2 inch (dont wet it. Just ad it at the base of the plant. After the second day. Use a spray bottle and give the top soil a few spray. 6-7 spray around the center Then add another 1/2 inch.. And wait two days spray 6-7 around the center. Do this till the soil is up to the cotyledon. Its a slow process. But this will get you roots all the way up to the cotyledon.. Always wet the eter a few spray every 2 days in the process.. Your plant will grow more leaf while this happens. First set of true leaf (single leaflet and the node between cotyledon must never breaj or be touched. The next set of leaf after the single leaf will normaly have three leaf let. This part need to elongate. So while you do all the step above they will. You can spread the leaf often to expose de center to the light ( first step of low stress training. After the 3 set of leaf are set and you can see the next set popoping from the middle. That's where the fun will began. Most people wi top. But you wont.. You ll be indroduce to brutal suoer cropping the real deal. That kets you play and control hormonal imbalance between auxin and cytokine. That when training began. And i hope you don't have an auot flowering. It's only good with female and regular. Everything you'll do is easy but mus be precise. Every once in a while you will be doing something to the plant to provoque it to do somethingto protect and defend itself. And while most people top and all. In the end you'll be selecting which branch will grow and which one will not and you'll choose where they'll go to grow. And you'll eliminate undesirble growth before they waste energie and you'll have fun. To bad i haven't started a seedling just befire you i would have shown you what to do with my plant. I guess i can do it with one of my mature male plant. (yeah i have a male plant that i'm keeping because its genetic grow stucture out shine all may previous growth. So i'l you it to crossbreed....
For your lightt. Don
Gi get a few cfl. You'll need 3x23watt cfl twist. That will be minimum requiement for 1square foot you cant go to the hardware stor buy 3 light socket some electric wire and a get a U plug from an old device. It will cost you lest then 10-15 dollars.. You can put it fairly close. It wil l stop the strech. Show me un lictur of your light. And use the sun aa much as you can for now

It’s nearly impossible for me to use sun now. Temps here are averaging under 55. And my only windows are north facing and get cold as hell lol

Im a first time grower as well, also growing a mystery strain. Had the same fear as you until i tried super cropping. I literally almost broke off the branch, thought i fucked it but within a week it was repairing itself and the branch even started standing back up. These are resilient plants and can bounce back from some pretty crazy shit.

I wouldn't do anything to it until it has at least 4 or 5 nodes. And that stretching indicates your light is too far away I'd lower it a bit.
Trying to say. That he need to slowly top up soil to it leaf. Really slowly.. The stem beliw the seedleaf always creat roit whent covered but ut can choke uf done to quiquly... And then add a certain tyoe of bactaria (nutrafin) that feed specificaly amonia and nitrite to release nitrogen this will boost nitrogen intake later on by makind non solube nitrogen available.. Then he will put all that in a biger size pot that will take a while to dry. And he wont water for quite a while. A week to ten day. The roots will race towards the side to get water remain. This process will take a few week. By then he will have atleast 4 node grown roots will be establishe properly. And he'll air prune is root by percing holes arount he's buck. In each watering he will add some of this (great white) trichoderma. If he uses tap water he will dechlorine. He's going to boost he's biodiversity very fast before he's plant get ready. And he's going to get a decent pot that will allow is plant to out grow witout ever getting rootbound and can be transplanted with minimal stress... That whole process from seedling take about a month. After. He's going to train hes plant with maximum effectiveness. Root are very important when you want to super crop. The stronger the roots system the faster the recovery and the better the result will be. That what i'm saying. So he need to transplabt that seedling befor tap root its bottom and starts strugling to get space.

And he will get light closer or stronger. (this one i can't super crop since its an auto flowering.
But i pitch once and knucle it 3 time to keep it low. And i'll remove useless stuff. Not looking for yeil but quality on this one.

Low stress spreading to get light deep in new growth. Technic
I bassically bend all leaf lower as possible so all shhot gets has high has possible and i spread core of shoot and expose the apical meristem '' center growth of shoot'' to light quicker. Extra photosyntesis.

Male or female

You'll have to get a close up of node
Ball with no hairs on em. Female will have a white haire groing always and will not show unless light scedual change or it has reche full maturity.

These are plants i am flowering. Because i was seeking for a male on this run so i trained the. A little first left is one month in flowering the next two on right are 2 weeks in all plants are show exept the blueberry autoflo are 55days old and have about 13 nodes. Standing 2 feet tall. I've stop training them since i dont want them and ned to finish em before i pop the once i want to breed.
The one in front i'm goint to flip and see if its a male of female. Since i cannot tell yet. Im suspecting a mal and it will be destroyed if so...

This (image 1) should have looked like that (image2) in veging before flowering. Same plante more trained. Complete light penetration to all bud everythin to small to produce decent bud remove.. The main stem would have been 6-7 inch shorter. And vedge for another while till bottom branches caches the the top. And are has big an thick.
Attachments
Exposing all budside you want to use to the light, strengthening of stem, control height orientation of grow. Limited wasted growth maximum root expention. If this plant would be a plant i would want to keep it woulf be going into lst now and woulg be getting topped multi time
