Germinated quickly. I removed the seed cap manually after it remained stuck for over a week. Made me scared for my life, but was actually pretty easy. The seed leaves remained crippled, but the plant wasn't bothered too much and quickly put out proper leaves.
Plant grew very little during May, probably because we rarely had more than 20° and lots of rain. It had a huge boost in growth when the first heatwaves came in June. Used very little liquid fertilizer since the substrate is partially gardening soil. Topped up the soil with slow release organic fertilizer pellets that week.
Over the last weeks I've removed a few leaves that blocked a lot of sun from reaching the buds.
This week, a lot of leaves have been yellowing - I'm unsure whether this is due to harvest time drawing near or because I left it unwatered for 10 days during a heatwave while I was on vacation lol.
Maybe a third of the pistils are brown now and the trichomes seem milkier than two weeks ago. Judging the trichomes is hard tho, because I've only got a 10x loupe.
I've spotted the first brown trichomes, so I went ahead and chopped the top. I'll dry trim it, because I forgot to get any equipment to properly manicure the buds, oops. I'm giving the rest of the plant some more time to grow, since there's still a few clear trichomes there and I'd like to wet trim it.
For drying I just tied the stems to some fishing rope and hung it up in the darkest corner of the hallway.
There were zero illnesses despite cold and dry spells and it grew pretty tall despite those hardships.
The smell turned from acidic to a pleasant smell that reminds me of jasmine tea. Yummy!
Now that there's a few brown trichomes on every bud I've finally taken it down for harvest. I measured 161g, paired with the three twigs I've harvested last week I'm guessing a total of 180g wet material, including fan leaves and twigs (is this how you're supposed to measure?).
It could be that the plants did not get enough water when you were gone. Especially when the soil was extremely dry when you arrived back.
Hopefully the yellow leaves will turn back to normal soon!
@Patricia_Zamnesia, I think so too. Got a good loupe from a friend now, and while the trichomes seem close to perfect, I don't think there would be this many yellow leaves under normal circumstances. The yellow leaves have mostly fallen off now, but I think that's fine, the buds will surely enjoy the fresh air.

sono curioso di sapere se qusta pianta a dato segni di emafrodismo
anni addietro ho coltivato qusta pianta e dopo un lungo tempo di vegetativa è andata in semilla
puo darsi che la mia sia stata impollinata da un'altra pianta in loco
@cricri, It indeed could be that there was a plant somewhere close that already had these pollen. Hopefully these plant will turn into some beautiful girls!
