Yes, yes! We have thoroughly established that this is not a male. The purple leaves also don't seem to be a problem as the plant is otherwise doing fine.

It's been a while since I asked how much longer it was till harvest. I now believe that I'm getting close to the point but still not sure how close. The buds are very thick now, covering the whole plant. The pistils are white and cloudy and some of them are starting to turn slightly yellow.

I do not have a microscope or magnifying glass and do not plan to invest in one as I am in Switzerland and everything is ridiculously expensive here (isn't it Houdini?).

Anyways, here are some updated pictures. Let me know if I should decapitate this plant next week or leave it for another week or two.
