Is this one ready to be topped?

Found this little bagseed growing outside in a succulent container so I transplanted it inside into a quart pot with a 50/50 mix of Peat Moss and FFOF.

So do I top after the fifth node or at the fifth node?

its stretching needs closer to light replant your stem down to seed leafs also from what i see it looks like you only have 3 nodes with a fourth coming in which is where i take my first cutting most times but not untill it grows out somemore

You can top it if you want, but it'll stunt it for a week or so. And if Sunni is right and you found someone else plant and stole it. Go put that shot back.

No no.

I would NEVER take someone else's stuff. Stealing imo is reprehensible and a disgusting act.

I live with a friend and we smoke outside. In my area we only have mids available so I get bag seeds all the time in my shit. I usually just throw them off the front porch but one seed landed in one of their planters and grew.

Definitely not anyone's plant.

Like I told Sunni I smoke outside and since we only have mids where I am I get a lot of bagseed I usually just toss off the porch while I'm breaking down and rolling up. One seed landed in the planter and grew among the succulents.

I'll re-plant it down to the leaves, good idea. As far as stretching goes that was actually from being outside, though I don't know how it stretched when it was in direct sunlight but it did.

I'd wait until it has a bit more growth since the longer you wait, the stronger it is, but technically you could do it now.

Also, straighten that poor plant out with a skewer, stake, drinking straw, anything. I can't stand tilted plants.

He could tie it down parallel with the ground and it would still be fine.. supporting a plant like that just weakens the stem.

Actually yes, I had it under 12/12 for a week and pistils started showing, I've switched back to a 18/6 though to accommodate some new seedlings.

In future i would let it grow for a while and then clone it,then put the clone on 12/12 off after about 3/4 days after taking the clone,the reason i say after 3/4 days is just after the wilting stage of the clone,this works i do it a fair bit my self to sex plant's but putting a young plant that has all ready been moved from one medium to a other at such a young age,has all ready been subjected to stress,so worth thinking about for future.Good luck nice find by the way,sometimes this is how very nice genetic's are found,if you look at trainwreck,and strawberry cougth,also the cherry line by tga i personally don't belive half those story's what the fuck was a cannabis seed doing in a piece of cherry pie,and what was a seed doing at the scene of a train crash,but you never know,The myth behind the strawberry seed was not true so who made that up it was growing in a patch of strawberry's,it was given to him by a friend who had the worste grow he said he has ever seen ,but he did have good gentics,so that is where that one came from for sure

No room for cloning sadly, just my little 2x2 and a small cabinet for my ferts and soils.

Because the plant isn't strengthening it's own cells, rather just relying upon artificial support. These are well known facts in the horticultural and especially the arborcultural arenas.

First I've heard of and a lot of grower's seem to post pictures of their plants with some kind of support.

Could you link me to a resource that backs up this information my own Google-Fu has failed me.
