Start pinching that baby back. It will get real bushy and you'll get alot more harvest. Do you know how to pinch it?

I don’t. Will you explain how @lesliecole49

@shannie Just use your fingers to pinch off each or any set of new leaves on a stem. This will cause the stem to form two new branches, thus, making it busier. You can also look down each or any stem to see where new leaves are forming above an older set of leaves and cut the stem evenly, I mean by that, don't just tear it off. The new leaves will form branches. You can do this to almost any plant to cause it to bush out more. www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/pinching-plant.htm
