Hey everyone. I started a thread here back before the site upgrade asking for help on my first grow ever. It looks like it was deleted during the site upgrade so I thought I'd start a new thread to show my progress. I flipped it to flower 4 days ago. It's starting to show preflowers but I can't tell what sex it is yet. I wanted to say thank you for your help. My first pics were pretty sad in my original post but things are looking a lot better now thanks to you.
New grower, thanks for the help!

Phones are notoriously poor lux meters. I won't go on..
18" is quite low sounding but I don't know what light. I do see an extremely compact plant though. It's nice and green so N isn't holding it down. I'm left with P or high light. Perhaps of a cooler colour temperature. I would hit it with some P to try and work with the light levels available. Some PK would do, if you have no future for a male and just want to see. Though less light might be the better idea if you want to keep it and be more certain of stretching it out. It's not the right shape so excess light stopping it stretching is very likely. While constant repair work and slightly excessive N uptake could explain the limp growth. As could low K but high sodium levels.
I don't see excessive N uptake as these pics. I can't judge it at all. Surviving high light levels with LED seems to pull in N though. At the extreme, I have seem toxic N at the top of a plant inches from a panel while it showed deficiency at the bottom.
Perhaps that's what you have. Lots of light so no need to stretch. While you have fed correctly to keep up with the maintenance requirements of the repairs needed. So you don't see the illness, just a lack of energy. P helps harvest energy and leads to healthy stretching more than any other single amendment though. It's your call. I have been working hard with this on the more P route and it's not been great as yet. I could be just barking.

It definitely became a male.
I'm starting over now but I got some tests kits from farmer freeman now so I don't waste too much time this go.
