SI Rating: Not Listed Vintage: -

Germination:
From a 10 feminized seeds pack (100 euros= approx. 100$), I got 7 ladies and the other 3 beans went to trash (this germination problem may come from too much moisture: it seems the 3 weakest seeds have rotten).

Phenotypes:
Phenotype from this pack was quite uniform: a sativa-indica mix, with a sativa predominance.

Vegetative stage:
The younger plants are, the larger are the leaves. They really look like indica during the 3 first weeks of vegetative growth.I was astonished when i remarked trichomes presence during early vegetative growth with quite strong smell.

Blooming stage:
Average stretching (1/3rd of total height before flowering). The whole plant gets heavy covered with white cristals and many white hairs.
Finished with good sized colas and buds with flashy red-orange hairs.
There were very few little buds and near-nodes buds.
Be careful when getting to the end of flowering: this strain has still MANY white pistils when matured. So you should make daily trichome examination with 30x microscope.

Cloning:
I took clones from the fastest developping plants: easy cloning with nearly 100% success. I used standard cloning method (+ Clonex) with scarification.
They rooted very easily into the growing medium (clay balls).
They looked strange (distorted leaves, irregular node spacing) at the beginning as I had to revert the mother plants from early flowering to vegetative growth. In fact, my cat had eaten the first clones I had taken; I was forced to switch the mothers back to vegetative growth and take a new batch of clones!

Pruning/Training:
I topped each plant twice in order to get approx. 4 colas/plant.
I tied down the plants 'till the end of stretching: all branches got approximately to same level.

Nutes:
I used Canna Aqua A+B for vegetative growth and then HESI blooming nutes: I never went over 2.0 EC (Total = 0.45 (water) +2 =2.45 EC).
In the middle of flowering the plants got darker: they passed from light green to deep dark green but without signs of nute burn.
I used PK13-14 from 5 weeks before harvest 'till week 7 and let 'em with only GH Ripen during the last 10 days.

Harvesting/Curing:
A very decent yield: I?ve been smokin' 5 joints/day (that's an average of course!) for 1.5 months yet and I think it could last another 2 months more.
I cut the plants, roughly manicured them and hanged 'em in the dark (without fan because then the buds would dry too fast IMO). It took about 2 weeks to dry. I sealed the buds into mason jars and kept one jar for daily smokin' till the others get cured enough.


Buds appearance:
Good sized buds, very hard/compact, VERY sticky


Taste:
The buds taste good but I was kind of disappointed: they had not the best taste I've ever seen. Taste is a little bit harsh (after 1 month curing) with soft acidic flavor like citrus.

Smell:
I think that's the greatest characteristic of this strain (together with heavy resin covering). The odor is VERY strong: be very careful when growing or transporting buds in your pocket/car. It's very hard to describe it: I just could say that it's very pleasant.

Potency:
Very strong weed but I think it can go from heavy mental high (with very low body effect) to serious couch-lock if you let them flower longer. I tried both flowering duration ("normal":55 days and "long":70 days): IMO you shouldn't let them flower too long or you'll get rapidly tired of those baseball bat hits on your head, eyes and legs when you smoke it. If you let them about 55 days, you'll get a very nice uplifting and strong high, without ANY paranoia/anxiety and you can still do things (with happiness!) after smoking a joint (work, drive etc.).
I'd also recommend to make hash with all those magnificent leaves covered with resin: the effect then is quite strong, taste & smell are great but far more couch-lock than smokin? buds.

Conclusion:
This is the best weed I have ever grown in terms of potency (I LOVE this high!) and yield.
It's a very easy to grow strain and also easy to clone.
