Apologies to all for going MIA. All did not end well, unfortunately. Two days after chopping her down, the smell got out of control. Curious minds then discovered the source of the smell, and did not find it as impressive or amusing as I would have hoped.
The good news is I'm still married and got to grow the plant to harvest. The bad news is no one will ever know if the bud was smokable and my adventures in illicit horticulture are behind me for now.
Thanks to all who contributed to the grow. It was worth it.
