Took me a while to work out how to get the pictures in too

make sure you press the press the put in line button after you upload them. I'm sure one of the mods will be able to help as well.

Is that a cut down pot you have it in ? I would stick it back in the ground and grow it taller and thicker before I did anything with it in a pot. It will grow much faster in the ground

Better off posting the photos here rather than from another site - they are here forever then

Hey Tony, Yes it is a cut down base bucket i turned into a training pot.. And... Point taken, i will leave it here for a little while to recover then re-ground plant it.... Thanks.
.....Also i have no intention of making a photobucket account to post pics on this site, i have no problem posting pics here now!
Cheers

Tell me if you figure out a way to reduce the leaf size.
