For a first try, I dont think you could have tried a better strain. I give buds to friends all the time and they LOVE it. Sweet and piney tasting and very potent. Two hits and I'm F'ed. I also had a friend tell me it took him down to a knee on the floor after two bowl hits. Its more potent than a lot of dispensery weed we buy here in my area.
I see a few problems though, I learned the hard way. Your plant is taking off now and will be out of control before you know it. Looking at the size of your pot and the amount of Veg already taking place, I think you'll outgrow the pot very soon. If I'm looking at it right, you've topped the plant once? I'd also start taking the lower leaves a little at a time. You wont be needing the lower growth and the plant will hardly notice it. Is that a three gallon cloth pot?
I highly recommend topping (if you havent) and trimming off all the lower growth a little at a time. This will allow more airflow under the canopy and reduce the chances of mold and pests. I made the mistake of letting a plant (almost exactly like yours) go to flower and it got so out of control and huge I had to hack many new buds and growth in week 5 of flower.... Better to trim early, cutting branches in flower isnt good but I had no choice.
I like to manifold this strain but a trellis net works very well too. The trick is to get all of the colas at equal height. If you let that plant go to flower in its current pot with its current growth, you'll have a hell of a time feeding it. (you'll be watering twice a day or more and even then it might not get the nutrients it needs)....
Your plant will explode soon looking something like this. Here is an example of a homemade trellis net in action with Nirvana Northern Lights. Its like playing "whack a mole" you have to fight to keep the tops all even ! (very important) Also, the lower popcorn buds arent worht a dam, dont bother with them.
Cheers!
