I've been told this might be horseweed. I'm on a venture to identify everything in my yard that I don't know what it is.

I will get more pictures of its development on here as I can.

It now has more tendril like branches come out near the top that look just like the stem but smaller scale

Horse weed for sure tea tastes ok some minor medicinal uses
 
My favorite is a chocolate cupcake with white frosting and tiny ad sprinkles.
