The plant looks good to me! I wouldn't worry too much, the plants often can be weird early in the season.

Lol. It may need some proper sunshine but yes it looks well fed. The only problem I have with the cannabis grow shops is they charge 10x what anyone else could afford to pay. Strong secondary vines would be preferable at this stage but yes you'll need some big flower buds eventually!

Im not worried about the yellow trim thats prob. genetic. Id like to see a couple secondaries sticking out a foot or so with the main running like it is. Balanced spoon feeding npk and make sure your getting nitrogen needs met.

Agreed, I’d like those secondaries to start running out from the main. I do see the secondary growth there at the main vine nodes and the first secondaries are taking shape near the stump. To be honest though I don’t have a lot of space for my secondaries to run very far as I’m growing on a 20 ft width in my front yard (my lot is 33 ft and my wife won’t let me jackhammer the sidewalk out - yet) so I have only 10 ft on either side. I’ve examined the flowers carefully and the yellow is actually in the leafy tip part extending beyond the flower bud. Also those fine silver threads everywhere I think might be trichomes which cannabis growers try to maximize as they contain a lot of THC. I might be growing some sort of Cannabis/Giant Pumpkin Hybrid here. It’s a Barron 2144 seed but I’m starting to become a bit dubious about its supplier.
