Germed 3 seeds by soaking them in a cup of water for 12 hours then placing them into 16 oz cups filled with miracle grow soil. All 3 popped within 2 days and were placed in a 2' x 2' cab under a vertical 150 HPS. Due to a lack of proper ventilation these plants grew slowly at first in the high heat environment.
After transplanting to 8 inch pots all three plants started to take off. Flowering was initiated 30 days after germination and none of the three had reached sexual maturity (alternating nodes). It took over 2 weeks for the first plant to show it's sex..a male. Second plant showed 2 days later, a female! Third plant showed a few days after that and it was male. Just as I was ready to throw out the male plants about a week after showing I noticed that the first male had started shooting out female flowers, it had hermied on me. I attributed this 100% to the high heat environment and I believe it would not have hermied under normal conditions.
Finally I was able to place the one female under a 430 HPS with excellent ventilation. I also did a final transplant into a 5 gal. bucket. This is when the plant started to really take off. It stretched...and stretched...and stretched some more. I think it went through 3 separate stretch periods when it was all said and done. Bud production was slow to keep up to the stretch at first and the leaf/calyx ratio was poor. Trich production was also slow in the beginning but both caught up after the plant finished stretching. Unfortunatly I had to harvest this plant at day 70, I felt it could have gone another 10-14 days to reach it's full potential.
I was initally pissed because this plant did stretch so much and it took forever and I couldn't wait any longer to harvest it, however after smoking the buds and giving some to friends I am very pleased with the final results. It gives a wonderful high that lasts your typical 2 hours or so and I was slow to build a tolerance to this strain. Taste is fantastic. I find myself opening the jar daily to catch a whiff of it's aroma. Yielded over 2 ounces from this plant, buds were so heavy at the end on branch snapped, other were bent over from the weight. I will definetly grow this one again but knowing that I need at least 15 weeks from seed to harvest if I get the same pheno.
