Great strain for a first timer. I was convinced my seedlings were ruined, but as shown, they recovered beautifully. I had some trouble germinating at first, but I attribute it to user error. Anyway, the harvest was a bountiful 92 grams from one plant. Not bad for my first time. Very mild and mellow all around: low smell, mild flavor, mild pleasant high, etc. Great with an afternoon cup of tea, or before bed.

I ordered the tent from Amazon. It JUST fits in my closet (had to remove the trim/mouldings) and had to partially construct it outside of the closet before completing the construction inside. It will be a pain to disassemble when it comes time.
Just a note, I get the impression this company is mostly cheaper/Chinese quality stuff, and they don't stock spare parts. They sent me a wrong sized hanging bar with my tent. Instead of being able to send/replace the bar, they offered me a $20 rebate or the option to send the whole tent back. This was a mild inconvenience.
Final thoughts:
Very impressed with the outcome. I debated giving up and starting over early on, but I'm glad I stuck with it. 92 grams from one plant for a first timer seems pretty decent to me! I let this dry for one week and cure for two. I burped the jars every day and now have them stored with 62% moisture packs for the remainder of the cure. Now, this is by no means no super high THC strain. My inclination is that these buds are around 10% THC, and are great for any time of day. A nice mellow earthy buzz for anyone to enjoy.
Lessons learned:
1. Less is more! This applies to light, nutrients and water!
2. A 24/0 light cycle is a great way to keep humidity levels constant. However, watch out for light burn!
3. Rinse your soil before planting seeds!
4. Use plain water in between each feeding.
5. Curing is more important than flushing. I flushed this plant toward the end, and sampled some buds after drying. They burned a nasty tarry black. After a further 2 weeks of curing, they burn a beautifully white and smooth ash!
