Dropped 1 seed in paper towel on Feb 1st and will check it in 24 hours. Small tail popped in 24 hours so into seed starting mix she went under 18 hour light. So after only 5 days from putting her in paper towel she has broken ground on Feb 5th.

This strain was a pleasure to grow. She loved the combo of Gaia Green, Bokashi and Dynomyco products that I used on her. She stayed very short and did well with the 8 way main technique. She has very strong branches so the LST was a bit of a challenge to bend her without breaking. She took a topping without hesitation and with only a short 36 day above ground veg before flipping she produced a healthy 101 grams of very dense fragrant flower. I had good airflow and a low 35%humidity through most of her flowering so I did not defoliate but would recommend a good defoliation at flip and after 2 weeks of flowering if you don't have ideal conditions. She started showing signs of flower at about 10 days after flip which is expected with such an indica dominant strain. I hung her to dry at a not so ideal 50% humidity and 22°C for 5 days before placing the buds in a bag to even out the dry. After a couple days in a bag I did the final manicure and jarred her up where I will continue to burp her if it gets above 62% and will do so until she stays close to 60%. I will add a smoke report once I have the pleasure of sampling this beauty.
