One of the strangest grows I've had: buds are drying now. Of 8 regular seeds only 1 germinated. Plant was grown in the balcony, seed was sowed in early September. The plant was a slow grower and it took forever to flower being an auto (3 months), keep reading and perhaps you will find out why. The smell is sour mango and tropical fruits, or just fruity pebbles, delicious. Trichomes are very small and mostly on nugs, almost no trichomes on leaves. There are many curious things about this plant: I get pesty white flies that leave my crops alone when flowering but they did not leave this one alone when flowering, also bringing other pests. I quickly notice it was getting full of pests and there was crap/ sooty mould on many leaves due to the crap: poor pest resistance, so I decided to chop it 1 week before the time I had planned. (almost no amber trichomes, perhaps only 5% amber, 85% milky, 10% still transparentish. Had to manicure carefully to remove the sooty mould and crap. Even when drying, whitefly did not want to leave the flowers alone. This tells me that it must be an aphrodisiac. I left behind some popcorn nugs to gain weight, today I cut one and found 2 seeds! So it seems at least 2 seeds or perhaps more on the popcorn buds at the base. Never saw signs of hermaphroditism when growing. Perhaps pest stress? I will actually sow them. Another update: I have found 25 seeds so far! and after multiple conversations with experts it seemed it created nannas at the end as last resource survival, a kind of hermaphroditism that I'm told it is not that bad since the seeds were found at the base and potency might not be affected and they say most likely the seeds will be feminized so I will germinate them in a few months! This trait, I'm told, probably happened due to the stress from the pest invasion and I saw no signs of hermie until I cut it but you can see in the picture where I'm holding the large cola that there's a nanna, not the classic male ball. So as I said, chances are the quality of the final product is not affected. One thing to mention: the buds are almost dry and they smell like Fruit Loops! or sour mango with berries and lavender!
UPDATE: Effects: caused me and my girlfriend paranoia and there was nothing good about it. Probably due to cutting it earlier, but I still don't think this would have been a good strain and it is also a pest magnet. Not recommended!
