I only grew one of this strain, it was given as a freebie with an order. It took 5 months and a half from seedling （she did about 40-45 days of pure veg） and still hadn»t stopped growing fast when I harvested, but observation with a microscope （some milky heads some golden heads） convinced me it was ripe enough. I«m extremely satisfied with this strain but I»m pretty sure the addition of hormones and the unconventional light cycle caused the plant mature a lot slower but also to become bigger.

Final clean and dried weight was 306.5 Grams, or about 10.8 Oz, from a single plant. Whole plant with stalks weighted 1200 grams when cut at the base, after a week without fertilizer and 3 days without any water.

I used a Philips SON-T AGRO 400 W bulb with a Sonlight 400W digital ballast in a Cooltube. Supplemented with 1*85W 6500K and 1*150W CFL last month. Also added 1x26W and 1x13w Reptile 10.0 UV lamps last 2 weeks.

Light Cycle: 24/0 first couple of days, 20/6 for a couple of weeks, then 20/4 cycle till last month, switched to 18/6 and then 16/4 last month to speed up flowering

Atami soil: ATAMI ORGANIC-MIX then transplanted in ATAMI JANECOMIX

Atami nutes: Atami B«Cuzz Soil A+B, Roots Stimulator, Atazyme, P-K Booster 13-14, Bloom Stimulator

Other nutes and additives: biologic black molasses, pure Dipotassium Phosphate （K2HPO4） powder, honey, Fulvic Acid powder, a mix of Mychorrizae fungi

Plant Hormones: Sprayed several times with Triacontanol and Indole-3-acetic acid, custom concentrations. Triacontanol was also added a couple of times to the soil feed.

Other info: Sprayed leafs with plain water, very often, every day at first, then every few days. EC levels where tested many times a day with a Hanna HI-98331 EC soil meter and EC was kept between 1.2 and 2.2 at almost all times. The plant seemed to like 1.8-2.2 while flowering. Big fan leaves were cut a few single leafs every day to not stress the plant, and only after flowers were well formed. Plant was LSTed and seemed to respond well growing very long side branches covered in buds. All branches including the main stalk could not hold their own weight after 120 days.

The last 45 days it looked like it entered in a weird phase were every day you would find a new calyx layer on top of the previous, and flowers ended up with many small chains of calyxes dangling from them. Single calyxes where huge in size.

Although it looked weird, it tasted and smoked perfectly.
