Lay out all the info you have concerning what you are doing.
Indoor/out (if indoor, lighting details) ?
What type of water/nutes you are using ?
Soil/amendments ?
etc...
We'll see where we go from there but from the looks of the pics so far it's pretty happy.

from pics looks about 3-5 weeks old. looks to be doing really good. by the pics i would say it outside which means its in veg. flowering happens during fall or when you switch lights to 12/12

Thanks for the response, I used MG potting mix to start, regular water nothing extra exept some of my urine a few time( I saw it on the internet says its great fertilizer) and its outdoor only, Its on my top proch so its in the sun form the time it comes up until about 6/7pm and its facing south so it gets alot of breeze. It grew so fast bu I dont know where to go from here. I did top off I will submit photos, will that put her in distress? when will I know what sex it is? hoping for a female:eyesmoke:

You are good! Yes it is a outdoor plant,I though about bringing it indoors but wasnt sure if that will change things. I planted about a mont or so ago so oyu are right on with the time frame, was that too late? I live up north in and we get very cold winters, will my plant last after the summer over. If I wanted to start the flowering process early, can I keep the plant in the sun for 12 hours(outside) and then bring it in the dark for 12 hours(inside)?

You can bring it inside and put it in the dark to flower it, but it may do fine on its own outdoors and it will definitely get bigger outside. When is the average first frost in your area? Also, it looks like it has a lot of indica influence. It will probably be a fairly fast finisher.

Plant looks to be around 4 weeks in dirt. Now I would give a good veg nute, I use 24-8-16 from WalMart, for
a couple more weeks. Flush, then flower.

I would not top . If your new to this just squish the stem between your fingers crunch then the other way crunch and fold it over a bit . The plant will act like it's topped but instead you have not opened it up to infestation by bugs . Look to be nice and dark green keep em that way . if they lighten up in color start up your N a little . They look to be fine now though .

What?! Topping is singularly the simplest thing you can do to a plant...anytime---anytime you remove the topmost growth of any branching plant the plant will grow 2 "tops" to make up for the one that was removed...

If I used MG potting mix with MG plant food slow release automatically in it do I have to add more plant food or fertilizer? It says it feed plants up to six months? Is that true? Have anyone used it before? Its what I originally started with

i used it before as has most begining growers but problem with it is u cant control amount released and then if u add additional nutes u can burn them
i like to be in control of how much nutes my plant gets so i use soil that has no nutes except what i add and it is really simple to mix your own soil
