This was my first grow in quite awhile and fun plant to reignite the love again. I felt like it was an easy strain to grow and stayed low and compact. I had a 6" inch AC inline fan with carbon filter and this plant was still smelling up the entire lung room and beyond during the last several weeks of flower. Conventional wisdom with autos is to not perform much high stress training on them but if I were to grow this again I would top it and defoliate aggressively to open up the bud sites to light. It still yielded approximately 3 ounces of bud with 2 ounces of trim. I'd qualify that there's probably 1/2 to 1 ounce of solid bud with the remaining being a mid quality. I attribute that to how I grew it and not the strain itself - those bud sites just needed more light. My top cola was decently dense and suffered some mold that I think i could have easily mitigated if not for dying leaves on the top bud, light burn, and insufficient airflow. The other mid colas I wouldn't consider dense, and also not larfy - certainly full of trichomes and sparkling. Strain took longer than I expected. After a week of drying and making a tincture (1 gram to 1 fluid ounce of Everclear dosed at 25 - 50 ml), I can report the strain is definitely mellow and not overpowering - exactly what I was looking for! I definitely can feel a light buzz but no typical racy feelings or anxiety that I typically experience from high THC strains. I feel very functional using it. I'm looking forward to exploring and using it more. The smells and terpenes are still developing during cure but definitely has the sweet, pine, citrusy(?) high notes smells.
