The seed germinated within 4 days, with the first two leaves appearing. It was first soaked in water for two days in a glass, then planted directly in about 15 liters of light mix.
By day twelve, the plant had grown impressively, reaching a suitable height and stem girth for topping. I carefully cut off the main stem with steril scissors. This will encourage bushier growth as the lower nodes will now have the opportunity to receive more light and nutrients, promoting the development of additional branches and potentially more flowers

I'm impressed! Just eight days after topping, I have eight colas forming. To encourage even growth, I implemented low-stress training on days 17, 19, and 21. I also did some light defoliation light penetration.

My plant is definitely entering the flowering stage! It's experiencing a massive stretch, growing 1.5-2cm per day. This is a great sign after defoliation, which I was worried might stress it out, but it seems to be handling it well! I'm already seeing hints of purple with some calyxes turning a beautiful dark shade.

Dear Diary,
It's unbelievable how fast this plant is growing each day. By day 31, I was thrilled to see the first purple bud forming in all its glory. The fragrance is wonderfully citrus-like, which is incredibly pleasant. I can't wait to see how it continues to develop. Each new stage is more exciting than the last, and I feel so connected to this little marvel. Watching it transform has been a truly rewarding experience.

Dear Diarie,
Wow... For the first three days of this week, she was extremely thirsty, consuming about 2.1 liters of water each day. Unfortunately, she has since fallen ill. Her top leaves have begun to yellow, the tips are burned, and the leaves are curling upward. Upon inspection, I noticed that the lamp was positioned very close to the plant, providing approximately 1200 PPFD. While this intense light exposure could be contributing to her symptoms, it's difficult to say if it's the sole cause. Only time and careful observation will reveal the true extent of the issue. Despite these setbacks, her color remains vibrant, and her aroma is simply gorgeous. I am hopeful that with some adjustments and care, she will recover and thrive once more.

Dear Diarie,
The buds have increased in size, which is promising; however, the top leaves are curling up even more and have become extremely brittle. There could be numerous factors contributing to this issue, but I’ve decided to stop troubleshooting since the plant is nearing the end of its lifecycle and will likely be ready for harvest in a few weeks. If you have any insights or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me. :)

Dear Diarie,
It's time to bid farewell. After 69 days of a rollercoaster ride filled with anticipation, challenges, and triumphs, the moment has arrived to harvest this plant. The journey has been a testament to patience and dedication, and now we get to reap the rewards of our hard work.

Wow, 89g of dry weight from just that one plant!
I have to say I'm disappointed to find that mold developed on one of the main buds. To be on the safe side, I decided to discard about half of the main stem (11g). I'll definitely keep a close eye on the rest during the curing stage to ensure no more mold appears.
Despite this setback, it was an absolute pleasure to grow this plant. The aroma is incredibly captivating, with a strong and delightful citrusy scent that really stands out. It's been a rewarding experience overall, and I look forward to seeing how it all turns out in the end.
