This plant was very easy to grow. 100% germination, I had 9 females out of 13 seeds. No hermies out of this pack and the plants grew at a very good rate. Took a strong PPM level of about 1500 all through flowering. Buds were very big and tight, biggest bud was 23.5 grams dry on a 1.5 feet tall plant. When nearing the end of flowering the leaves turned a light purple showing its Indica traits. The buds became more dense in the last 2 weeks of flowering. No pests, no mold, no disease's that I encountered.

I germed 12 seeds and all 12 sprouted my m/f ratio wasn’t as good as I was expecting I had 4 females I also have to say I culled very early, because I needed the space. That all varies from seed pack to seed pack. I grew this strain in a c13 cab with a 250 HPS, Dayton 265 cfm blower.
The soil used was miracle grow soil, fertilized in veg with 5-1-1 Alaska fish emulsion, for flower I used Neptune harvest 2-4-1 -- organics--
I let them grow to 12 inches tall under 18/6. Then switched to 12/12. Almost immediately they started their stretch, they did do a lot of stretching so much I modified my light to suit their needs (I bent the reflector) that is why I reported their stature as indica/sativa for me they had a long stretch for an indica. I grew this in a basement where me and my friends hang out alot and drink... none of them had any idea that their were plants growing in that room. So my odours were very subtle. I had a very excellent yield and plenty of nice bag appeal, lots of crystals. They grew very straight with very minimal branching the branches I did have SHOULD have been cloned!

On the seedbag , 14/16 germinated in 48h, all were indica pheno and I kept the most vigourous female (few day after germinating she was looking like a big male, and few day later like an sensi hashplant...), and I had given the others to a friend, a sensi fan.

Very easy to grow, to clone, to heal:
Good for beginners - cause of the EASE - both indoor and outdoor (but can mold outdoor,depend on the weather ).

Also a beautifull medium sized plant with large leaves in vegging and blooming stages .Heavy yielder in bush style, -my first SOG try wasn't so happy-, the pictures' plant yielded 130 g.Heavy trichome formation in blooming stage , as dutch commercial strains, very dense flowers.
Very good for indica lovers. -shivas' strains had lot of fans-

This smoke gives you a heavy body/heady stone for hours.(too strong for my wife !) The taste is very hashy with unripe undertones.( the garlic bud genetic perhaps )

This is not my favorite smoke, too indica for me, I prefer sativa/indica hybrids(shiva shanti 2 for example), but it was fun to try a such fun and easy to grow sensi strain .

Sensi seeds can be proud of their good work !

Very easy to grow this strain. Mine survived a lot beginer's mistakes, and was still very potent and yielded pretty much. It has a strong stone effect.
I would recommend this strain for commercial growers.
