Well i would also check your nutes. Has she had to much? Could something be missing in your stuff?? Maybe some magnesium. If not how is the soil? Too acidic can cause e verything to lock up and the roots transfer a lot less. Maybe do a ph check.

em i used 7 year old roted cow poo and compost 50/50 mix and used chickhen poo pelets with rain water for nutes worked fine until i put the plant out side ph is between 5 and 7? is that ok
im going to put it back under a light aswell have a 400watt hpit or am i better of using hps light
i have npk fertiliser 15-4.6-12.4 containing magnesium out in the shed would that be any use

Inbetween the 6.5 to 7.5 range should be good. Never want it too low or high. I would try giving it some of the nutes containing the mag for the brown and it has nitrogen and potassium for the yellow and purple ...If the ph isnt the problem. Does she get regular feedings? If not it coulda been using up and running out of whatever the soil had to offer. As for the lighting im n ot sure because i dont grow under any lights to flower. For such a huge plant it would seem that it could benefit more outside. Get that sunlight from all angles.

thats kind of a problem if u live in ireland i think ill stick to the light
feeding wise im not going to lie i havent a clue how often shuold i
water it and how often shoul i give it nutes what would u think

[Wayneos]

I feed mine about every 4 days. I also always cut the reccomended amount of nutes the label tells you to give about in half just to be on the safe side. Its a sad thing shocking and burnning a plant. I also skip sometimes to let the soil dry out a little then give it just a watering until water comes out the bottom. Other than that i let the soil stay kinda damp but not like very wet.

would u say ill get gud bud if i sort her out

[Wayneos]

Well i do think the plant looks great. Do you by any chance know what it is? Either way as long as its female i say yes you can get bud. If your going back under lighting i would start thinking how am i going to really be able to get the best of this?Do you have plenty of space for her? How many lights? Maybe look into low stresss training? So you can get as much light on all the tops as you can. As lower ones get shaded and start flowering do you want to get rid of them to really focus on everything that is more torward the top?

[bigmama2012]

think its bubble gum not really sure its a female for sure i was told to make a box with a foot clearence all round it and keep a foot an a half between the top of the plant and the light cover the inside of the box with glossy white plastic put ventalation in and a 400 watt hps light would it matter if i cut the bottom branches of at this stage ?

[Wayneos]

That would still be ok. She isnt in flower or anything.id do the very low ones that really wont get any light. Also any little branches forming torward the center of the plant that arent going to stretch outward torwards the light.you probably could avoid some cutting to if the branches are still flexable and you could tie some away.i usually cut a lil less than half way up each stalk if its such a big plant and more in the center areas of the plant where some are stretching up but not gonna make it will provide air flow.
