Purchased 10 seeds from Marc Emery Direct. Germinated 5 using the paper towel method. 3 survived. Two died due to pH problems. 2 females emerged out of the 3 survivors.
Vegetative Plants grew to 6" in four weeks. They probably would have been double that size by that time had I fed them more. I later found out they were suffering from N and Mg deficiencies as well as pH problems early in veg. They looked good, just grew slow. However, I decided to initiate flowering at only 6" due to time constraints.
Flowering Trimmed the plants a few inches up from the bottom. Only left a few main branches to flourish. The plants stretched to 12" by the end of flowering. I ended up with two phenotypes which were similar in stature but slightly different in bud type and odor. The first was less robust but grew fluffier buds that had a fruity odor and flavor. The other was more robust, lighter in color and had fatter tighter buds with more resin. It had a more pungent/coffee odor and flavor. They look like they would have branched out a bit more had I let them, but I kept them short and simple and received nice cola buds from each. Flowered for 40 days. Could have gone 5-7 more days.
Ended up with a little over 1/4 oz per plant and about 2 grams hash from the trim.
