well... i was a noob and really didnt pay attention to how long ive had it but i would say about 6 weeks or so since it first sprouted i started with cfl's and had 4 27w on it and then got a 400w mh bulb and thats what shes under now. its only been about a week thats shes had the MH bulb tho

for its nutrients its getting the recommended amount that the guide said that came with my fox farm grow big big bloom and tiger bloom

so far shes really nice some of her leafs were curling so i was kinda getting worried but they were still healthy so i figured shes ok

No doing trim shes fine the more leafs the better she'll grow, but yeadepemding on ur space I would florwe already, of a great idea would be to try and train those branches, puall some down and sideways as so lights hit thelower shoots and also help make it bishier, look at lst or topping/fimming to prodouce more tops and shoots, more pf those means more bud sites for flowering and bigger harvest.. Aldo might wanna try cloneing incase u really like the bud, you have a clone of the exact same strain hope this helps

Your probably thinking LST or Supper Cropping. I would suggest topping unless you will have the head room.

The bending method is called LST. I started my plants with it when they were a lot smaller but basically what I did was take some string and tie it around the plant, then take the other end and pull it down slowly bending the plant, be carefull not to pull too hard and break it. Once you have bent it as much as you are comfortable use some duct tape to secure the other end of the string to the side of your pot. Good luck!
