Actually fill the pot with soil all the way

bigger pot, fill with soil to the top and mulch it and stop leaving space. the space in the pot is there to be used 100%.

A bigger pot is needed and fill it to the top with potting mix. The larger the pot, the bigger the plant, the bigger the harvest. It needs more space for the roots to grow.

Bigger pot, put gravel or pebbles 25% on the bottom and fill with potting mix to the top.

Don’t need to repot it necessarily, but getting it out of the pot and filling the bottom until the current “soil level” would sit almost level with the pot rim is a good call. Whichever way you decide to increase the available root space, give it time to fill out the new soil. If using potting soil that has nutrients, hold off on fertilising for the first 2 weeks or so, water deeply but infrequently, gauging the weight of the pot when freshly watered and saturated is a good way to tell when it becomes thirsty – it will feel significantly lighter. This watering practice will force the root mass to become more robust, and once it is done filling out the container, you’ll have a plant ready to explode into production.
And regarding getting foliage to grow “more full”, the internodal spacing seems alright actually, so it’s variety-dependent in many cases. Once the main stalk naturally forks, you’ll notice offshoots coming out just above the lower leaf nodes, and that will give the “fullness” effect you are looking for. 3:1:2 NPK for vegetative growth will do wonders.
And ffs, if you have a cat, protect your superhots any way you can.

I had a small reaper plant and once I put it in a bigger pot with high quality soil, the plant immediately started to grow. 30 days later the plant is now twice as tall with a bunch of flowers.

Put it in a bigger pot, fill the pot completely full of dirt, stay away from terracotta pottery it dries out quickly
