Growing my bonus seed which I received with my order. Like my other growths, I will start Indoor until the weather is stable and not to rainy and the plant is big enough. Indoor I grow at a window with cheap grow lights (better than no light I guess). My first "Not-Automatic" growth.

Not much to say at this stage. Let's see how the next week goes and if topping is already and option.

Need to check about the yellow leaves (opened a problem for my white widow which has similar problems). Maybe the flys are the problem, I'll order some Neem oil. I moved her to a bigger pot. 7.5 liters.

Move her outside permanently now. At the end of the week I did topping. Let's see how she recovers. Yellow leaves got better. Not sure because I took care of the PH or the flys (Neem oil)

She managed the topping very well and is now continuing growing. Increasing in size fast.

Had to skip week 6 as I was busy. This week I performed topping for the second time. Growing really fast at the balcony.

I was traveling the last weeks so unfortunately no update until now. Plant had to survive with limited water as I only had somebody taking care every 7 days during the last 5 weeks. No nutrient. But she managed quite ok. Unfortunately the summer in Germany comes to an end now and temperatures are getting colder. She is flowering but she will need several weeks until harvest. I'm considering taking her inside if the temperatures are getting to low
