1st grow, how is she looking so far?

Been about 1.5 months since germination. I realize it stretched a lot (had them under a desk lamp that I guess wasn't strong enough) and I actually lost my 2 other seedlings to that but this one survived, how does it look? There are a couple brown spots should I be worried about them? And also does it look like I can start topping now? Thanks

She looks fine to me. Kinda self lollipoped, but nice. Yes she should be big enough to handle topping. I've got a pineapple Express that I'm manifold training to make, I'm hoping, 12 large colas, she isn't much taller and has already been topped twice. Your girl should be fine.

Not gonna lie, at 6 weeks from sprout it should be a good deal bigger than that. What's your medium, lights, environment like?
Edit: Oh I missed the desk lamp part...hopefully you have gotten another light.
 
Ya it stalled out completely for a good week or 2 once I put it under my actual grow light (320W kingbrite) and then started growing leaves without growing much taller. I guess I'll wait a bit longer then and see how it continues growing before messing with it

to put into perspective i use a 2000 watt equivalent LED spaced roughly 3 ' from the top of the plant in a 4x4 grow tent. The fact that the plant is not stretching is a good thing . It means it is not searching for light . Stretched pants make weak stems. You don't want stretching. To me you plant looks over watered . The way the leaves are drooping down. This can slow growth or even kill plants. Its a good idea to let your growing medium dry out after watering. Stick your finger in the soil and if its dry to your first knuckle than water. Its okay for it to dry out . What is the temperature where your plant is? to cool temps will slow growth and create a bushier plant.

Ya I had it under a desk lamp while it was sprouting for like a week, but it stretched under the desk lamp before I moved it under my actual grow light lol. Temp is around 22c with the light off to like 28c with it on. I feel like I've been watering pretty infrequently (every ~4 days, when the soil a few cm deep is dry) but I'll try to cut it back a bit. Humidity is also a bit low, around 35-50% depending on when I last watered but I'm trying to fix that by just leaving cups of water and wet towels everywhere in the tent until I get a humidifier
