I have had my plant for about a month and a half and it doesn't seem to be growing any taller. It's about 6-7 inches tall the first 5 inches there's nothing just stem, and the top inch or two theres about 15-20 leaves. What's goin on?Is it alright?

PH is the biggest issues with container growing, since you dont know the PH and you have been fertilizing, I believe your soil is acidic & causing the stunting

To rule out PH related issues complete a soil runoff PH test.......
with PH corrected water (6.5-6.8PH ) pour enough water in the pots so the water runs out the bottom of the pot ...collect & test the PH of this runoff water....
If the PH reading is out of optimum range 6.5-6.8 PH, you need to flush your plant.
Flush with PH corrected water, till in optimum PH range, 3 times the volume of the pots rule of thumb but may require much more flushing if the rootball is thick & sour
EG: 1 gal pot = 3 gal. flush
add 1/2 strength nutes to the last gallon of the flush.

you need PH test equipment, chemical PH test (from aquarium supplies)or digital PH meter also PHup & Down Correcting Solutions....for emergency you can use vinegar to go down and baking soda to correct up....
