After drying and trimming this girl, I knew she was going to yield much less than i originally thought. That being said, Im still happy with the weight.
She grew very quickly and stayed extremely squat. She finished just under 20 inches tall. I could have fit at least 9 of these ladies in a 4x4.
The buds are sprayed with trichomes, but mostly airy. I attribute this to the underfeeding and also cutting her a tad early. Im pretty sure the temps were higher than she liked as well. Once she hit flower, she got very very hungry. If i gave her what she needed, im sure this would be a different story. Although she has lots of airy buds, there are a few top buds with better structure. Trimming her was a PITA because of this... and i decided to leave her a bit leafier than i would EVER trim normal density bud. I might go through and do a re-trim. But i took off literally everything that wasnt sprayed in frost.
The ease of growing and terpene profile is what makes me give this strain an 8/10. She grew very quickly and responded very well to LST and defol. Her terpene profile is TBD, since she is curing. Very gassy, with a sweetness.
Would i grow these genes again? Sure. But not anytime soon. I love the terps on her so far, but there are many other strains in line that will blow this one away, sorry to say. If i had the option to, i would cure her without trimming and press her for her oils.
I will update this review once she is finished curing and i smoke her up.
Smoke report after a VERY short cure:
Wow. The terps on this girl are so tasty. I know shes not finished curing, but i tried out two smaller buds that dried out and cured for 48 hours. Even after the short cure, the flavor is pretty damn good. Im trying to pinpoint what it tastes like.
Upon breaking a nug open and grinding it, a loud, sharp fuel smell is set free. Upon smoking it, i get an almost nutty, woody, diesel like flavor that sticks around for a while. On the exhale, I get more of the gassy terp flavor. As I sit, trying to analyze the flavor, i notice the gassy terps lingering in my mouth. This is a very tasty smoke.
UPDATE AGAIN AFTER 8 DAY CURE:
ok, so i didnt do her justice by smoking her without a cure. But to be honest, she didnt really need much of a cure. She still has the same flavor and nose, just more refined. She is extremely potent. I got to smoke a bowl and forgot my name. I could hardly form sentences after it really set it. Very very heavy indica. Doesnt make me too sleepy, just gives a sedative, relaxed feeling.
The buds arent necessarily airy like i originally posted. Just skinny. And sputnik-like. It might be the trait of the genes, who knows. The buds firmed up a bunch now too, now that theyve dried out a bit with the cure.
