Strain
This 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 them outside in late April under a plastic shelter to protect them 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 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. They tolerated the cold, and even a dusting of snow... but there just wasn't enough sunlight. So by mid May the plants in my garden were all 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 huge tight fat colas and a really good yield. We did find a lot of seeds in the plants, 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... if only we could buy them!
Smoke report: We have got these buds in the cure, but early signs point to a strong Indica influence, with a nice heady high. There is a gasoline aroma in early cure, but that may change as they cure progresses. Effects are strong with a heady relaxing vibe. The munchies are moderate, but I mostly pass out buy the time that stage of the high kicks in.
This variety is a solid choice.
