I am currently growing one plant – a gift from a friend, of purple diesel. My plant has grown large. I am currently in the budding stage – I am stacking on the puff balls currently. I have pics I took today, September 8, 2017 if you would like to see the plant. It is bushy and healthy – I did not grow with a roof this year on my green house. My plant did not grow overly tall, but it would take 4 people to reach around the whole plant, and it is in a 200 gallon grow bag, not in the soil.
