Unbelievably insane?

I have a baby plant, 3 weeks old from seedling, today.
I planted it in some extremely large bucket, so she (hopefully) doesn't get to tall. I've never grown before, but i've seen many many plants, and never ever have I seen a plant this healthy/strong as a newborn. She was planted in some extremely hard dirt. (could barely dig a whole big enough for her, because of the dirt being so hard). So, can anyone explain to me why it's so healthy, if it's practically in clay? Also.. I would like to know if its female, as I am a noob at growing, and am not sure if there are any signs of flowering yet. I'll post pics very soon.

long time tell flowering if you want a small bush use "uncle bens toping teck" its the best , or she will be pretty big by aug when it flowers. It will also incrase yield.

Good luck grower!

put a pick up if you want us to see it and how healthy it is. Its probly nothing special just a healthy plant which you are not used to since your a noob. Once you get the hang of growing i bet all your plants will look that healthy. PUT UP SOME PICS

Males have balls, females have hairs.

I'd say your plants are healthy because of the nutrients in the soil, the consistency doesn't matter much I don't believe, but I'm not expert.

Yeah it looks good nuthin extraordinary. We need a nice quality up close pic on node sites when u have sumthin cumin out either pisils(hairs) or stamens (balls) to tell sex though. If u have struggled in the past good luck. I like to see people do good there's nuthin worse then seein a misgrown plant. Its not that hard to grow pot u just need to cover all parameters and never go overboard with anything.

Well, I've never had a successful grow.. Cause its too hot where I live, but I found a perfect place for her, where she gets early morning sun and later sun when it cools off, so she doesn't get crispy >.<
My camera sucks btw. lol, I already see hairs though! and may I ask, what is a Node?

Ahh, IM PANICING. Leaves got droopy over night, NOOOOOES. Well.. what could be wrong? there was some pretty harsh winds yesterday/last night, and a cold front moved in. Could either of these be the reason why? if not.. I'm moving her ASAP. Help please D: Btw, this plant is extremely short and has a stout stem, and the toppest leaves even touch the ground!!!
