Summer '25

I grew this one twice now, this and last year. Last year she did pretty well, but this year she stayed rather small. Last year's summer was quite hot and dry. This year was quite the opposite with only few hot days and many rainy days. Therefore in my experience she rather likes hot temperatures, especially if you care well for her. I must admit I failed her this year in terms of caring, as has the weather.

I grew this one for the first time myself this year. Also last year I witnessed (and sometimes helped out on) my neighbours' for her full grow cycle including harvest. Even though this year's and last year's summer were quite the opposite (hot/dry and grey/rainy) here, they reached a similar height both years. But she bulked out quite a lot more during those hot summer days last year in terms of both plant and bud volume. Still the buds were quite dense both times, some even caught some bud rot which was only spotted during harvest. The feeding was far from optimal in both years though. Some of the harvested buds got a nice purple look, most only got some specks of purple.
