Tall & Scrawny

Simply needs MORE LIGHT! It's stretching for light thats why it's so Tall & Scrawny.

yo needs tons of light, that thing aint gonna produce unless you start giving her what she needs. she needs proper lighting. keep it nice and close. make sure you dont burn it lol. but otherwise she looks alright i guess

Yep. MJ is a full sun exposure kinda girl.

what are you using for light?

Give that plant a lot more light. You Could LST that plant around your growing pot and this will make it better. Search some links on LST ( low stress training )..

Good luck bro.

It's evidently a seedling that needed a higher light factor than I could deliver.

The question is should it be topped?

I would top it just above the lowest two fan leaves and then get it under more light, like has already been said. As long as you leave at least two fan leaves, your plant should recover nicely from the topping and will end up much more bushey than it is now. I top all of my plants right after they go into veg and it makes them into little bushes. It does add some time to your veg, but it's worth it in the long run IMO.

use lsting, dont top it. you dont have enough veg growth to top it you will not have a good turn out. just as dan said look up lsting!! you will have a better crop in the end, due to the poor stature your plant is in.
