To yield a lb you’ll need about 1 sq meter of canopy and around 300w led. You can scrog out one plant in a 3x3 or a 2x4 and hit a lb if you’re dialed in. When you pack a space to tightly, either with individual plants or excess tops you increase the risk of mold, bud rot, pm etc. The enthusiasm is nice, but dial back your expectations a bit.

You’ll want 3 of those lights in a 3x4, two will get it done but 3 should be able to give you an optimal par map in that space. Grow some fat chunky colas.

If it’s just the one plant I’d pot up to a 10gal too, if you’re on a budget the black bag miracle gro potting soil is good enough(it’s got fungus gnats but nbd) top dress with 1.5tbsp gal/soil dr earth bud and bloom before flower, water in some microbes(sample pack of recharge will inoculate the soil with microbes and help activate the fertilizer) from there just keep it watered, hit with tea made from the bud and bloom mid flower and so long as your environment is in check it’s smooth sailing.

5gal should have enough food in it to veg for a bit, I’d top dress with some dry amendments with a decent amount of nitrogen(I use dr earth tomato food for veg) and just water, then when you flip to 12/12 top dress again with something with higher in p & k(I use dr earth bud & bloom) . If you’re using liquid synthetic nutes someone else will have to jump in, only ever used them in hydro. Good luck

This strain apparently likes a drier climate but I’m not sure how dry it’s a hybrid and indica dominant. Ive done research on it and apparently it’s very resistant to mold but I wanna know what everyone else thinks it’s Scooby snacks #1 has anyone grown this strain

Pick up one of these DAKASON LED Grow Light 1500, Full Spectrum LED Growing Lamp for Indoor Plant, Commercial Grow Light LED with Dimming Knob for Green House All Stage from Seeding to Veg & Bloom (DAKS-150W-L) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092PMWMGN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_A40MECWK66FJ3Q00DETQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Cheap, surprisingly well built and will do the job fine in a small space like that.

I’ve got 3 in my 2x4 and a lonely poorly trained kinda rushed plant under them(she gonna be dank though)View attachment 5073536View attachment 5073537

You’ll still want humidity around 50-60%rh pretty much throughout the grow. A bit over a bit under isn’t a huge deal, once you’re really into flower you’ll want to err on the side of caution and keep it on the lower end of that range.

Photo or auto? If it’s a photo you can top as long as it’s in veg. If you’ve already flipped to 12/12 it’s to late to top. If it’s an auto I wouldn’t top. you can, but it’s risky.

Node spacing is a lot closer at the top of the plant, so I wouldn't top at this stage, how flexible is the plant? looks like you could pull the plant down to cause a half-circle, but I would be extremely careful, could do this over a week or two, this will give you a larger crop.

18/6 is standard veg lighting, you can top down to the third node if you want. You can’t turn a plant male, interrupting the dark period durning flower can cause expression of intersex traits (hermies/“nanners”) you won’t know sex till you see pistils either when the plant reaches sexual maturity or shortly after you flip to 12/12.

If your seed was feminized though it’s gonna be female.
