So I got some seeds a while back and decided to have a pop at growing my own this summer. Started off with 20 plants and nurtured them to a certain height, then planted some outdoors and kept a few indoors. Weather hasn't been great again this summer so all the outdoor ones have failed + of the four I kept indoors only one turned out to be a female.

So I'm basically left with only one plant, which is doing OK. A bit lanky but have it by the window and it gets a bit of sun if it's not cloudy and is budding up nicely, just I don't think I am going to get much off it.

So I wondered if anyone had some advice for me. I know that I can put some ferts in the pot to help it bud, but the downside to that is it can often give the buds a horrible taste. So my first question is should I add ferts to it, or just carry on trying to get it to bud up naturally and have a better quality smoke but less of it?

It seems to be budding up the fattest at the top so would it be an advantage to let it bud up some more, then crop the top off it and maybe help the lower buds get the nutrients they need?

Is there an optimum time to pick the buds, if I leave it too late will that impair the quality? Can I pick the buds off and leave it to bud up more? When I pick the buds can I still take cuttings and grow new plants? (that's a bit advanced for me really though at this stage)
