White Russian - Summer outdoor 2021

This fast flowering photoperiod strain is perfect for new growers and growers in the north where the summer is short and the cold sets in early October. The plants are resistant to light stress and to disease. I started this plant indoors in March. I hardened them off and put her outside in late April under a plastic shelter to protect her from the cold. The thing I didn't account for was the fact that in April the days are still very short in Ontario. The result was that the plants in my garden all went into flowering!! I had no idea that it could happen, and it took me a while to figure out the source of the problem. They were hardened off and brought out of 18 hrs of light, and put into the garden when the days were still too short. She tolerated the cold, and even a dusting of snow... but there just wasn't enough sunlight. So by mid May she had flipped to flowering! I was so disappointed, and I thought my grow was going to be a total write off. You'll notice I missed a few weeks in this diary during this period because I was sure the grow was done for. Rather than rip the plants out, I decided to just sit back and watch to see what would happen. And then, as the days got longer the plants went back into veg... by the time the summer solstice rolled in, the plants were starting to shoot up new growth... but the leaves were all single blades until they started to stretch for flowering. This is when I started the photo diary back up. In the end this plant offered a bazillion smaller flower growing up each cola in a tight helix. As you can see it was a good yield. We did find a LOT of seeds, but considering the light stress, and the fact that there is at least one neighbour in my area that leaves his male plants to grow (he's a total idiot IMH thinking he's 'breeding' in an uncontrolled outdoor environment) the seeds don't come as a huge surprise to me. I'm also not really concerned... whatever. I'm just glad that my plant survived LOL. Bottom line, I highly recommend these genetics... Smoke report: We have got these buds in the cure so its kinds of hard to do a proper smoke report, but early signs point to a solid hybrid, with a nice heady high mixed with increased focus. The buds taste like delicious lemonade... The munchies are strong with this one... so vape or smoke it BEFORE supper... and your meal will taste absolutely delicious... whatever you make or how much you overcook it LOL. This variety is a solid choice. No surprise there... Its Crop King Seeds after all. They are one of my favourite seed companies.
