First time grower - Need good advice

Hello, (TL;DR - go to second paragraph)

I am looking for some advice on what to do with my plant. it seems to be growing too tall. I have seen videos of topping and low resistance training, and im wondering if I should try these methods on my plant. To better understand my grow I will explain the background. I planted this seed outside in a pot in the middle of the summer. the plant was hardly in direct sunlight so it grew very tall. once it became too large for the outdoors, I moved it inside under a cheap (30$) blurple light. after realizing my plant was hardly growing anymore (2-3 weeks of indoor life) I purchased a spider farm 1000. Immediately I noticed the plant come to life and started new growth. now my mystery seed is showing new life and growing fast. It has a very long stem from its youth outdoors. I have no idea what strain it is, or if it is an auto flower. it seems to have some bud growth but since its been on 18 hour light cycle for a few weeks now, I think its been re-vegged. Also the bucket has holes drilled in the bottom and is suspended off the ground for drainage. p.s. its planted in fox farm happy frog. i've also bought a ph kit and ferts.

Please give me advice based on the pictures of what I should do with this plant to maximize yields.

She was definitely in flower. I didn't notice any curling leaves, major sign of reveg. Re-vegging can take 6 weeks or longer depending on the plant. If you're trying to re-veg her, give her another 2 weeks and you should start to see some new vegetative growth. Once that happens, Imo, give her a month and flip her to flower again.

you want a stake for that plant, it has a thin stem, your too late to lst or train it much, its started flowering

Move outside , put in 1 foot hole add solar lights 1month sould stretch n flower close to xmas. Could be old sativa strain

Soil looks good too may lighten may burn transplanting hslf with nutreul soil.

Just buy yourself a bag of feminised seeds and get cracking. That SF 1000 is actually 100 watts by the way. Read the small print.

Not enough lumens put outside in large hole limited flowering inside weak light setup. Move in late oct to outdoors sunny area

Put sol Solar light on base in interrior till nov 15

45 years ive been growing millions plants G8 brothers listen up boy.

Keep light for factory of seeds in teens then transp outddrs

What is G8 brothers?

What are you even talking about? You know you can put multiple thoughts all into one post, right?

It's a band of internet trolls. They post nonsense online.

thank you for the advice. I think that is what I will do. Hopefully I can see more growth under the new light. I guess there’s no reason to LST or do any fancy breaking/stem manipulation? Can I just keep it in veg indefinitely until it’s a desirable size?

Thanks for explaining, I was quite confused myself.

outdoors in not an option where I live. The plant would die overnight.

I do understand that it is only 100 watts but from my research this should be enough to grow one plant. Ever since it’s been under the new light (spider farmer) it has started growing rapidly. I’m just wondering what else I can do to this plant to maximize yields I.e. LST or topping.

Ok, It only started flowering once it was brought inside under a very weak light. Now that it’s been under the spider farmer it has shown a lot of new growth. It is able to stand on its own just fine, but I want to grow as much as possible so if there’s anything I can do let me know!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but as @go go kid pointed out, it's already started to flower. There's not much you can do at this point. You can scrap the plant and start fresh, or hobble along as it is for over another month and harvest a small yield. If the plants flowers out it's going to collapse if not supported. McFloppy in the back there had a lot thicker stalk/branches than yours and that's what happened when it wasn't supported.

If you're going to reveg her, no, not much point in topping, breaking, or lst... yet. Once she revegges new branches to tie down and or to should you like. If you flower her right now your harvest will be pitiful. Regrettably at this point, I would recommend reveg or scrap and retry. 18 hours a day light cycle for about a month should regress her. Once she has a bit of new vegetative growth you can use any training method you like. Here's where I had to reveg one of my last girls. I'm pointing to one of the curled leaves that indicate a successful reveg.
