I soaked half the seeds overnight in filtered tap water, then planted them in 1" rockwool cubes. After a few days growth they all had grown two sets of moderately think leaves. I added 25% strength 5/5/5 chem + org nutes and half of them promptly died of nute burn. So ease up on the nutes, These plants grow just fine on plain water till they're a really decent size.

I put a few of the remaining cubes in soil and the rest in larger rockwool cubes. The plants in soil both took off while the rockwool plants continued to struggle with nute problems (the ICE from Nirvana and Lowrider x Blueberry free seeds from Planet Skunk both were having no trouble in the same situation)

I don't know if it's the rockwool, or the chemical nutes I was using or what but the once the plants were rooted in soil they shot off, overtaking the other plants in size. The second grow of the second half of the seeds is having no trouble with just water and foliar feeding till this stage. Keeping up with the soil plants too.

All the plants which I have topped have responded really well. This plant also takes really well to low stress training. A few of them grew just like vines too. I'm currently revegging one of the girls to grow her up a lattice.

I think this would be a good strain to use for a screen of green grow too.

Half of the harvest was water cured and half was air dried. The water cured stuff was ready in 8 days and tasted beautiful. It was mild garlic and citrus flavours and left a pleasant aftertaste. The air dried marijuana was harsh after a slow drying over three weeks. Two weeks of curing brought out similar mild garlic flavours with a beautiful smooth aftertaste.

The high is well balanced, with strong body and head effects but with little couchlock.
