Stared from seed indoors 3rd week of May. In ground May 28. Hillside, organic, wild-patch stealth grow. Dug holes and trenchs. Back-filled with 15-20 gallons or so of homemade organic mix. Top dressed once late in veg and three times through flower. Four were planted in one rough line and then two apart from the others. The four together were spaced about two to three feet apart but would turn out to be way too close together. Was expecting one or two would be male plants and eventually culled. Just my female luck, four for four female! So those ended up a bit crowded.
Began cutting the faster maturing ones by 2nd week in Oct. Late season warm spell here (US climate zone 6) so left the slowest one ripen a few more days, finished Oct. 26.
Problems included fighting off the jungle like surrounding vines and undergrowth, lots of bugs, small pockets of powdery mildew and bud rot during a clammy mid-late September, an actual slippery slope of tricky footing and a couple big storms and strong winds that took out a couple low branches. All in all, though, healthy plants from the beginning and all the way through. Apparently healthy plants can take a lot!
