Oh yeah, just get a small oscilating fan from a mega mart, pretty cheap.

Once again resinator thanks for stopping by, and once again that is some great advice just do you mean to cut the whole branch off and leave about a 3mm stump so to speak?

Charlie I have a little fan it's just that I dont leave it on so much as I leave my closet door open to let the heat escape, knowing this do you still recommend a fan.
And again.

just cut the fan leaf dont touch the branch at all, thats what i mean by cutting downwards, do you have a temp reading on your closet ? but i would still add the fan for circulation myself. keep it green your doing great

resinator I haven't got a clue what the temp is as I dont have a thermometer in the closet or the house I think, can I ask you resinator do you leave your fan on all the time or just for a couple of hours a couple of times a day?

I had my fans wired on the same timer as my lights.

same as that but only recently they are on 24/7 to try and help some humidity issues, think of it this way it would cause your baby more harm to not add the fan than it would if ya did more benifits for having it on unless it has a cooling effect which would only come into play at lights out. you should get a thermometer in woodies €3 for a cheap 1 €15 for a high / low 1 which would be a good 1 for a closet to see just how high and how low your temps sit at

Hey niall thanks for looking in haven't been around for a time but here to post today no need for the pm just ask me anything here and if I can I will help you out, no need to wait so long to grow as it takes weeks to get them to a big size where you need to hide them

[Irish Joe]

to all who have posted since my last reply I am here with a quick up date and a few pics

Hi everyone 15 days since my last pics, man time flies when your having fun in the sun.
Ok so my plant has just gotten so big that if it grows another 8 inches it will be looking for a new home, it is now 31 inches tall and 27 inches wide . No real problems since my last couple of posts, she even has taken more and more nutes she seems to love em, she is due another watering tomorrow and it will be her first dose of full strenght nutes so fingers crossed.

Now on to the pics, you will notice the flowers on my plant they came out last Thursday and they are just growing and growing they seem to be coming out all over the place on every single node and on the tips of every branch and the main cola is forming nicely IMO .
So here is pic 1


Not a great pic I know and the next is basically the same except with the lights turned off


In the next pic you will see is the flowers forming on the ends of some of the branches


I know that they are not very clear I am using an old camera but the next is a little better they are of the main cola, well it's the top of the plant mouth watering stuff even if I say so myself.

And the next one is basically the same.


The damage that was seen in my last pics is still there, I dont think that it got any worse, I think that it has gotten better. The big fan leaves have picked themself's up off the soil and are now freely holding themself's up so I am glad that I didn't cut them off . I no longer worry about how my plant is doing as I got some great advice from an old stoner and some cracking tips from him aswell.
Well that is it for now dont forget I want your comments good or bad

Ok,sorry if I missed something Joe but you do realize those are male right?

[Irish Joe]

Shit I have just been told that this is Male and a post here seem to back up what I have been told is this correct.

Any advice please.

[Deeznutts]

Your kiddin right?

[resinator]

man it sure looks like a male to me. it was my first thought when i saw the pics you should have posted earlier and more frequent,
the last pic you can see the sacks at the bottom of the pic male (defo) back to the drawing board dont loose heart though, it was good practice run for the real deal next time you will be more in tune to what a male looks like so you can eliminate them as soon as noticed, keep it up you will get there soon
