I flowered 2 British Columbia Seed Co. NL#5 along with 3 Sensi Seed Bank Northern Lights. The NL#5 out performed the Sensi in every way. The buds swelled up a lot more, earlier, and had even more resin which is saying a lot cos the Sensi is heavily resined.
This strain is very very hardy and hard to hurt. Perfect for first time growers to get them hooked on the hobby.
I vegged for 40 days and my plants grew to 4 feet from the top of the soil. If vegged sooner they should go 3-3½ feet without training.
I found two phenotypes: a pole-plant pheno that was just one big 20" cola with four little crown buds around it, and a xmas-tree pheno that has more branches, smaller cola, bigger yield but takes up more space. The xmas-tree pheno actually tastes a little better.
The smoke is amazing! <-I will add a smoke report one of these days...
