nah dude.. perfect time to start training the lady.. i'd take some form of wire, and wrap it around the outside of your pot, and then get something like some bread ties, and use them to tie the plant off to the wire around the pot.. so long as your main stem is pretty flexible still, you shouldn't have any problems, and yours lookss just fine to me..
or you could also just cut some metal coat hangers into lil u pieces, and use them to push the main stem down so that it is just above the soil line.. either way works just fine, and after all you weren't asking how to lst, just whether or not you could still, lol..
yes, you can, lol..

You can train her to do whatever you want. Although if your going to make her spin in circles make sure her top is on the outside so it doesn't block the light from the rest of her. Cannabis is a truly amazing plant you can make cool ass shapes with her top her and form more tops tie them down top them and create more whatever you want have some fun with it

I usually top her let her start sending out her replacement tops and then start tying them down trying to keep her tops pretty even height wise this way you get many tops instead of just one and a bunch of popcorn buds. There is an article on here about how to get 2,4 and even more tops I think its called uncle bens toping technique or something along those lines its a great read and very informative.

Pick how tall you want her get out a clean sterile sharp blade and cut her down. Then make another plant or two out of her top to keep her going. The rest is up to her within a week you should see some great new growth heading up in multiples. As far as where to cut her is pretty much all up to you. I have a bagseed plant I let get about 12 inches tall then cut her down to about 8 inches then she took off and now she has at least 8 larger tops tied them down and now all her lower sites grew up and tied them down now she looks like a bush covered in tops I can't wait to flower her to see how many she actually has

Different strains grow different heights size shapes. Remember it will probably double or tripple in size once it flowers it may seem small now but won't be so small once flowered. She? It is female correct? She looks healthy and that is more important imo than if she seems small or not you can always veg longer to get her bigger. So far it looks like your doing good so keep up the good grow. No need to worry about so much growing weed is a learning experience all the way each time you get a new strain things change a little, lights change things pot size changes things I can't really tell you much more other than you appear to be doing great so far just hang in there and keep growing, learning as you grow its all you can do really. Keep up the good work man and best of luck on your grow

also keep reading of all the forums I have been to RIU seems to be the most legit or at least has the most usefull info on it there is a bunch of guys on here who get amazing results and who are full of wisdom and willing to help a fellow grower out with as much advise as possible but its trial and error as to how you truly learn how to grow with great results that and genetics.

i am growing a indica so that is what has me confused because my plant is not so bushy, and i read indicas grow bushy but my plant looks as if it is growing tall instead of bushy. and i am keeping the light close to my plant so it wont stretch out as much. my plant strain is indica and i know it has good genetics because the clinic i got the clone from sells the strain and it is AMAZING! i know alot has to do with the way you grow it but atleast i got genetics on my side right lol and thanks again on the advice, you have been ALOT of help

No problem man and not sure on your strain but odds are its not 100% indica so it could just be leaning towards the sativa genes if it has em. Also if you know how or what the mother of your plant looked like then you could better judge how yours is growing along should be the same. Keeping lights close also helps keep the ladies shorter with shorter node spacing so you could always back off your lights a bit and let her stretch out but I would keep it how you have it now personally. Feel free to rep those that deserve it
