Looks healthy but very small for 6 weeks. I think you’re/your friend was watering too often which could’ve stunted it

Thank you! And that makes sense as she said she was watering “ a little everyday” which I stopped right away lol and advised her that perhaps every other day would make stronger roots (like I’m some know-it-all after looking up a few posts here lol)

How’s she doing for pot size?

Exactly. Cannabis likes a dry down period especially at that stage where they’re not drinking a ton. Your pot size is fine for now- once it’s starts to grow a few more sets of leaves, I’d personally throw in a 15 or 20 gallon + but I’m not super experienced with outdoor and how big this plant could get given its size right now in the lateish season. You could also probably 5 gallon it and transplant into bigger later if you needed

I start my plants in a small clay pot after they sprout tap roots, and then straight into 15 gal grow bags once i can see roots in seeking the bottom of the clay pot. You should absolutely consider upsizing your pot to allow the roots more room to flourish. Recommended to try a fabric grow bag since it's pretty hard to rootbound a plant in one of them. The leaves look healthy tho, and I'd say overall it looks happy. You got this!

Thank you for the advice and encouragement! Sorry to sound like an absolute fucking noob but what exactly is root bound? Is that like the roots get stuck cuz they got no where to go?

I have a plant that a friend next door gave us. She says it’s a wedding cake that she got from the OCS. She also tells me it’s about 6 weeks along. Is this about right for how long it’s been? I’ve had it for about two weeks.

She’s outside in our small yard all day been watering every other day or so. She just gave me some fertilizer that I’m gonna use with water tomorrow once she’s ready for more water (got a bit of rain yesterday)

My main question is when will I know to put it in a bigger pot and how big should I go. Any other helpful tips for new grower would be very helpful. Please don’t tell to “just do my homework” I just want some more eyes on it to tell me yey or the fuck dude no.

Thanks!!🙏
