I
planted 4 seeds around mid April in peat pots (all 4 germinated)
and kept them on the windowsill for one week. They were then left
outside under glass for the next 3 weeks to harden off before
transplanting. All seedlings started off well and grew very
uniform.
After 4 weeks they were transplanted to buckets containing
standard potting compost with added vermiculate and left on the
shed roof all summer. During vegetative growth they were given
Terra Vega nutes with one dose of SuperThrive each week. All four
plants grew very vigorously all summer and ended up about 1.8
metres tall at the onset of flowering. It should be noted that I
topped one plant to see how it would react, and it seemed to like
it. Consequently this plant only grew to 1.3 metres with 2 large
main colas – so if plant height is an issue topping is an option
with this strain.
Once flowering started (the last week of July) I switched to Terra
Flores and B’Cuzz Bloom Stimulator throughout the flowering
period. I harvested mid September and the buds were large and
dense, so dense that I lost some to mould. Manicuring took ages as
the plant had a lot of leaf as is common for a Sativa. It should
be noted that none of the plants had any hermie tendencies that I
thought was impressive as I know that feminised seeds are prone to
this. While the buds were drying they had a distinct smell of
menthol that changed and became much fruitier during curing.
The smoke is definitely the best outdoor weed I’ve smoked. The
effects take a while to come on, but when they do there is a nice
balance between body stone and head buzz that goes on for at least
2 hours.
I will probably grow this strain again as I was very impressed
with how easy it was to grow and the quality of the end product. I
will have to try something to minimize the bud mould though,
because if it had been a wet summer I could have lost the lot.
