We have had a few mornings where water is dripping off the trees from the dew and fog.
She is on the south side of the house so gets sun pretty much all day and dry out quick. She also gets the heat off the stucco from the house. I have not fed her for a week and a half, I will cut back on water. I was looking at her big leaves and they are yellowing fast, no surprise since her life is ending..
I guess my concern comes from I am not seeing any new flower growth, really no new pistils.. I will let her go a little longer. I am concerned about the neigbor kids who smoke finding her but I don't thing they have a clue what is growing in my tropical jungle..
I went out tonight to check her and found one of the lower branches that was not support by the cage had broke and the branch was laying on the ground, I had give her a good watering early in the day so maybe the water weight was too much??
Thank you for your help.

If moisture levels are good then I would let her fatten up some more. This is when it gets tricky. The longer you wait, the fatter she will get. However, you also are taking more of a chance that you will lose something to rot or rippers.
I would let her go longer. Her leaves will fade more before she is ready. Cut back on food and also water her less.[/QUOTE]
