u need to get the bugs in control...http://www.essortment.com/all/homemadeinsecti_rvxg.htm...i lstd my plant and when it got around my pot i toped it and you will have up to 20-40 tops all the side shoots will have side shoots that will have side shoots and you will get almost a perfectly round lil bush
its dick snails. iv controlled them pretty well, but yeas, the stock is too big, mostly cuz here in canada were having a lot of storms, probbably because of that. does topping really help? cuz iv heard it can really f up a plant. :S
