Ok, I'm giving full marks not because this is the best strain in the universe but because all the faults with this grow were my own and I still got a really good amount of quality buds. You can see in the pictures how the tent was filled with many, many spindly side branches. Despite my lack of control, I got a sense that, where it was able to, this strain really burst with life and was completely robust - I had no health problems whatever and it was my first DWC grow, so hats off to the genetics - this is a fucking lovely strain.

Will update as buds dry etc. I'm about halfway through harvesting and my drying rack is almost full. I think the yield is better than at first thought. Some nice size buds in the mix - see pictures.
Just uploaded root pictures from my two biggest plants. Root mass in DWC is off the charts. Thanks to Urban Deep Water Culture for the great rig.
Everything is trimmed up and in the drying rack - I also have a pile of airy/undeveloped buds that I'm keeping. My drying area is kept at about 20C and 50% RH (with a dehumidifier).
Turned out 587g of dry bud - all in jars to cure, plus the pile of airy almost buds that is still drying (see pic).
Smoke Report: Just had my first proper joint from this harvest and the first thing that struck me was how smooth the smoke is. Even though it has not been cured at all yet, there was no harshness at all (I don't use any tobacco in my joints). This is a very good sign. The taste is still to be developed in the cure and is quite subtle at this stage but very pleasant. The effect is definitely more in the body than cerebral and feels like a classic Indica stone which certainly reflects the genetics. Very nice ganja, basically and it feels like it has a high THC content.
