Had to remove first lower leaves as they turned yellow. The nutrition should be gone now so they get only water till harvest.

So this plant grew nice and preferred to stay small, about 100cm. I had to fight with mould and thripse but won the fight with neem oil and cutting out the mould, so no big problems with that. She was placed outdoor in my greenhouse and had temperatures between 10 and 40 degree celsius. I watered her by demand with rain water, sometimes added Vertafort booster tabs. The smell was strong and a bit like diesel. After curing it smells really diesel-like. Harvest was a sticky mess but so happy about it. Gave some good friends some buds, they said it was really relaxing and they felt only a light buzz in the head, great after a hard working day if you have things to do after.

I haven't tried to smoke or vape her cured, if she tastes nice then I'll make her 10 stars.

Nice plant and congrats on your harvest. You know there are two separate entry options for dry and wet weight?

@MarcXL, I guess you'll know eventually. I just think it's a bit unfair to outdoor growers who can't control anything in terms of RH, rain, hail storms, hard winds, freezing and temperature stability in general. I'm not even talking about guerilla growers who have to cross hundreds of meters of ramble carrying gallons of water regularly. Apart from this contest, you did do a great job with this grow.

@Korfer, I think it's somewhere between in- and outdoor. Door and windows were always open, just no natural rain and more heat than fully outdoor. No idea if James from RQS will disqualify me. Till now he didn't said anything negative about it when we talked.

@MarcXL, Figured it would be so, no worries. Although, I hate to tell you this but I don't think greenhouse grows are considered outdoor. At least I don't think RQS considers it this way...
