Overall, this plant was really easy to grow. Perfect for a first-timer like me. Even with my beginner mistakes, she thrived and gave a good amount of frosty buds. This strain can grow pretty bushy and 'big' though and my grow tent got a bit small for this plant. I don't need enormous amount of weed so I think I'm gonna use a smaller pot next time. I could have managed LST a bit better too, so I'm gonna keep my mistakes in mind for next time.
I'm gonna update regularly on dry weight, curing and smoking...
UPDATE: After three months of smoking this weed, I started a new grow. I really liked it. After 8 days of drying, I finished the trimming and ended up with 80 grams of smokable flowers so pretty good for a first grow! I also ended up with 40g of trim I saved for making hash. I didn't expect so much flowers so I ended up really happy.
I was so impatient to taste it that I smoked a bit before even curing and it was already really good with a pretty smooth smoke for fresh flowers. Now, after a few months, smoke is really smooth and headache are not that frequent. Even if I have some really dense and good looking buds, I also ended up with lesser quality flowers with no density... But the quality of it is pretty satisfying: I definitely paid for worse plants back in high school.
Terpene profile is nothing of a punch in the face... It might be due to my lack of experience in the drying and curing process. Even though it is not complex or very strong, it is pretty enjoyable, with some kind of a licorice taste in the fresh weed that disappeared with curing. The sweetness of licorice let place to a nice bitterness an earthy flavors.
On the side of the effect, it is great! It put me in a really nice mood of "I don't care about anything, I am just chill right now". I am usually talkative but become really silent and I stay deep into my train of thoughts. Everything become really intense, which make it a great weed to smoke before watching a nice movie. It also make me really giggly and I can laugh and smile at pretty much everything. Physical sensations become really freaking great and hugs and kisses take a totally new aspect. Last but not least, it gives me the most intense munchies I have ever known.
I would say it has more of a Sativa-like effect on me, combined with a small Indica-like effect of physical relaxation but no couch lock. It has a really different effect on my wife though as she feels much more the Indica side of it, getting a strong couch lock and sleepiness I don't really get.
Overall a really nice experience, from seed to stoned, and I would definitely recommend to anyone as a first growing experience. Really easy to grow with a very enjoyable smoke.
