Roughly 9-10 weeks.
Recently transplanted and is looking much healthier. Does it look healthy/normal? Although the bottom leaves have some holes..? It's about two feet tall currently. Thanks I appreciate feedback

Other than the holes, it's looking decent It may just be the light, but the new growth looks a bit pale. Are you feeding the plant?

Good Luck and I hope you KILLED the fukin' bug that munched on that leaf

If you feed it well, it must be lacking sun light.. you can't control the sun, but you maybe need to get rid of the cage, I mean it blocks a large amount of sun light ..

Jay - I'm a first time grower so take this with a grain of salt... are you watering, feeding, or spraying Neem onto your leaves during the hot part of the day? If so, not a good idea because when the droplets get on the leaves, the sun will burn typically "round" holes.

It's best to do it at the beginning of the night.

that is "leaf muncher" damage, either caterpillar or grasshopper type of bug, you need a better cage, hopefully its not catterpillars,

That might keep the bugs out. BUT it's also acting like an umbrella. Just realize your cutting down on the usable light that reaches those solar panels. Since it appears your outdoors that's probably not so bad.

I see the biggest problem being you being able to reach your plant. If you want support a branch. Or remove a dead leaf. What ever the case may be you'll have to remove that cage. The more you lift up and down assuming that's possible the more likely you are to snap branches or do damage. The other thing to consider is that whole cage will have to grow with the plant and your restricting side growth as shown.

It's actually not touching the cage at all it just appears that way. But eventually I will expand the cage or whatever I have to do. It is very air passable and should still get plenty of air and sunlight at least I hope! So far so good haha
