Doesn’t look bad, might increase the lighting but it should come in nicely once it’s more mature

Cool- I dropped the pot so had to replant. I have a grow light on it so hoping it grows back stronger

Once it’s a little taller you can trim it to make it fuller

It looks like the grow light is far away and it’s growing leggy. Can you bring the light closer?
