Leaving the country for 2,5 weeks. Will be leaving the seedling to the elements. Forecast predicts sun, 23-29°C with only little rain for the next week. Let's see how this goes...

I left the seedling on the balcony for three weeks while I was away on holiday. The weather was quite warm and dry, with the occasional thunderstorm. I was worried that the plant would either die of drought or be drowned in the storms, but I am very happy and surprised to see that it is thriving! I did some topping as soon as I came back. She grew a solid 10cm between the beginning and end of week 4. Also, despite me upgrading the fencing, my cat still managed to 'defoliate'.

Very happy with her growth but I still have to figure out a way to keep the cats away. I wanted the plant to be small and discreete since my balcony is visible from the street but she is growing faaast

Entering the flowering state. She did stretch quite a bit and is shooting pistils everywhere. Smell is also slowly developing. With autumn approaching, i now have to keep the plant inside on some cold nights/rainy days. Some leaves dried up because was not home to water her for almost 5 days.
