The plant grew exceedingly well thru most of it's growth and produced nice tight nuggets average roughly the size of golfballs and several colas above ten inches in length (Some LST used in early veg) The buds were very sticky and trichome developement wasy dense with long thin resin glands giving the flowers the appearence of being frosted with sugar. Yield I felt was not as impressive as the hype but it was still a good yielder just not quite what I expected. I was most disappointed in the flavor. Breaking it up or smelling the smoke in the room it has a good pungent classic marijuana odor but when you smoke it there seems to be no flavor and that's after a one month cure. The high is okay but nothing to get excited about some who have sampled it report a sort of "Dark High". I find the high also failed to live up to the hype. Bottomline is it produce a bag of smoke that you feel good about and maybe even get excited about it while cleaning some but when you smoke it you are disappointed in the taste but soon don't care because you are pleasently buzzed. An okay source of bulk average weed.
