I did 5 seeds out of a 10 pack. One female; it was a short leafy plant. It didn't grow very well, compared to other strains around it. Lot of thick fan leaves but didn't put out many buds. I was disappointed with the growth; but the taste was amazing. I mixed it with other strains, to smoke.

Don't recall where the seeds came, from but I'm probably a week away from harvest on an outside grow if it doesn't freeze first and force me to harvest. Three females and except for the leaf shape, they are different as night and day.

One is about two and a half feet tall, purple and guessing maybe a 1/2 an ounce yield at best and lost all its larger leaves. The other is over six feet tall and probably six times the yield also loosing the large leaves. The last looks like what you would expect to look being around three feet tall, full retention of large leaves, bushy and will yield probably an ounce and a half to two ounces.

The biggest issue I have is the resin glands on the larger plant and the smaller purple plant are somewhat small and the buds are not very crystally. I'm thinking these two plants will not be very potent. The "normal" looking plant is quite frosty so I'm hoping it's good. We will see but in my mind right now the larger plant is destined to be made into hash and the purple one harvested and cured for its color alone.

Have done a couple of batches of AI and they have always gone well. Last lot eight grew and I don't know why. But most times when I do a regular strain, I normally end up with just the one male. I put them together in quarantine and its the largest and healthiest that goes male. I have found AI to be good at numbing my chronic pain.

An update on my prior post. Still don't know how it smokes as the plants have been in flower stage since the first of September and still are not ready. Twelve weeks in flower?? I'm about to check them again in a moment but so far no signs of amber resin glands.

As a final update: I finally harvested the three plants around the 8th of December. We had a hard freeze coming and time had ran out. Still no amber resin glands, but........it is, what it is. I kept the one plant that showed the most resin glands and made hash out of the largest. We'll dry and cure it and see how it smokes on the one good looking plant. The buds were quite loose so unless it smokes like a few say it does, I'll probably not grow it again. We'll see, changed my mind more than once.

Also, I've noticed the same thing. The strongest and healthiest plants of the any grow that I have done turn out to be males.

I've grown a few. The longer you can veg them the better they will do.

These phenotypes were were extremely sweet with exotic fruit aromas.

Those look incrediable! Are the buds dense? And, were they grown indoors?

Frankly I'm bummed with how the ones I did turned out. Still curing and only smoked a little bit, but it was not good. The buds are very light and not dense at all. They were vegged indoors and then planted mid summer in Texas and maybe that had something to do with. Still got a few seeds and after my winter indoor grow is done, I may try them again. Heard good things about AI, so we will see. Don't think I'll every do an outside grow again as the stuff grown indoors just has come out better.

great looking pic.And a great strain for smoking bro.

After drying and curing for a month, finally got a pipe out and loaded it up. Got a couple of buds from the one plant that looked the most promising. And............. As mentioned prior, the buds were very light and almost instantly crumbled apart instead be being sticky. My standard acid test of two big tokes did virtually nothing. About an hour later, did the same thing with some Critical Kush and got ripped.

Throwing it away. This really has me mystified. Not a super seasoned pot grower, but a seasoned gardener with a lot of smoke experience. The plants were started in a grow room, vegged, initiated into a bloom cycle and the males/females separated. The females planted outside in July and allowed to bloom until the first of December. (Live in a mild winter climate). They were fertilized with a bloom promoting fertilizer, planted in rich soil that was a former compost area and irrigated via a large automatic sprinkler system.

Don't have clue one. Can't imagine why it was trash. The only thing I can think of is the seeds themselves as I've grown very good Sativa outside from street pot bag seeds. Now I wished like hell that I had kept better notes as to where the seeds were purchased. No more AI for me. Really bummed.
