Two questions, if you deign.
Why is Z2 coming on this way?
And if flowering has just started, which apparently is the case, when then do you expect harvest?

Very good mi amigo

Very nice Yoss, those things are monsters! I'm praying for a hot, dry, sunny, flowering season for you.
Hi people, and thanks for the compliments
I don't know when harvest will be, it's way too early to tell. Actually the plant is still in the right-about-to-flower stage.
Here's Z#2 as of yesterday, still not flowering:
Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by "this way", but if you mean the one-big-stick structure of the plant - it's because it was surrounded by bushes and grasses and received light only from above.Two questions, if you deign.

Hi Josh!
Lean and lush come to my mind if comparison is to be drawn between Z#2 & Z#4.
I see the lack of space and light, and I just thought there might be more to it but I'll stick to your sayso.
As for the flowering stage, your excellent pictures speak for themselves saying "right-about-to-flower". Risking speculation I'd say beginning of November the earliest.
I only hope that autumn will be mild enough to let those beauties complete/accomplish their cycle.
Will keep me fingers crossed
And thanks for sharing this lovely grow!

So far September is fine 
No rains in the 10-days weather forecast. We've had only a few showers and the soil is still dry from the summer. Of course, it's not dry under the Zamaldelicas. Without the heats and entering flowering, they now drink a lot less - I didn't water them both for 10 days, and only Z#2 showed signs of lack of water today.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take my camera. Perhaps will be able to take photos in the following few days. I'll be paying a visit to my friend's balcony soon too.
Because of a recent security problem, I have a garden light constantly switched on and it will stay that way a few more days. It perhaps casts light like full moon to unshaded parts of Z#2 and something like 1/4th of a moon to the top part of Z#4. I didn't look from close, but Z#2 seems to be just starting to flower.
I'm very happy with Z#4's progress in a week, it has started flowering with many pistils on the tops and everywhere. It definitely will flower faster than Nirvana's Haze at the same place last year. The Haze took about a month to really start forming buds, slowly increasing the number of flowers, instead of having an "event" of starting to flower. Zamaldelica is slow to trigger but seems determinate to produce a lot of flowers, soon.
I also finally see some pollinated pre-flowers and the seed covers leave nice smell on the fingers Hopefully the wild males have finished their breeding period.

I must give Zamaldelica 10++.
I left one in greenhouse, when all the others were taken inside.Went about month without watering, night temperatures near +1 C, greenhouse went up in the air when storm come around, left Zam little bruised.
Yesterday I went to see what is left and I was really REALLYsuprised.
There was big, green lush bush, stem like my arm...all in good grow.
Had to take it up and put it in to big container and took it inside.
2 meter high, no mold, all in good shape.
Can you ask for better plant?
All the others took mold much earlier, end of august, didn't like the weather and so on..

Wow, digging out and planting a big bush into a container sounds like a challenge. Doesn't it get too shocked from cutting through many roots?
Here's an update from my friend's balcony:
Bad news for Z#1 - in his ignorance and desire to help the plant in the end-of-august heats, my friend has put Z#1's pot into a big plastic basin and filled the bottom 10-15 cm of the basin with water, thinking the roots will drink from the water. Unfortunately, the result is that it took a single day for the roots of the plant to get boiled, submerged in water at 35 degrees C. He told me that all bottom leaves have died, but I thought it's not so severe and the plant will overcome it. But the plant is effectively dead with only the very tops showing some green signs of life:
The other 2 plants are doing much better, with only Z#5 suffering from thrips or mites or whatever it is that sucks juices from the bigger leaves, leaving many small white dots. I told my friend a month ago to take some action, to ask a common friend that's a grower and who uses some organic sprays to put off such critters. But so far no action has been taken. I guess this won't be fatal and my friend will only suffer of lower yield.
Z#6, which has just started to flower:

And here's a higher top I managed to bend
By the way, Zamaldelica and this plant in particular has VERY tough stems, strongly connected to the main stem. Plants of this size usually have broken branches by now. I observed how the plant withstands strong winds during a storm a few days ago, and I think it will have no problems even with the buds on it.

You're gonna have enough loco weed to keep you crazy high for a looong time. bada bloom!
bada bloom!
Yoss33,
Wow, what a difference a week makes! It's very exciting. The more mature it gets, the more it looks like the old Thai plants I grew way back when. Those plants in the pots look way ahead of the two in the ground. I wonder how much of that is the root restriction auto flowering tendency versus the phenotype differences.
I just planted some Zamaldelica seeds today. I hope to find a pheno like your Z4.
Good luck with the finish.
