Hey gardener! Yes, it's stretch when you see a big space between the levels of the plant, and there's a significant gap between them, and that happens when your light is too high, so your plant is reaching for the light because of its stretch. So here, you should bring your light closer. If you want to compensate for the stretch and keep the plant low, you can start doing some training called LST. I've also heard that autoflowering plants need a big pot right from the start, and that transplanting them isn't recommended, so when you do transplant to a bigger pot, be careful not to break the young roots. Good luck to you, bella ciao!

hi there, i don't think she's stretching too much.. a lot of the plants you see that are grown indoors, have very specific lights, that add a lot from the blue spectrum, and are constantly rather strong, so this keeps them smaller and bushier during the veg state. This has the double-benefit, as the blue-spectrum keeps the internodes tigher, and the intensity simply provides enough light to the plant, so she doesn't have to stretch (well.. that still comes later at the beginning of bloom). If you're growing outdoors, then just try to get her a nice sunny spot. happy growing!
