I was given five of these beans, which had been picked up as a freebie by some Dutch friends, who advised me that if I needed to make any room in the 'drobe, these would be the ones to sacrifice; so I went into this forewarned.

Three beans out of five sprouted and turned out to be pretty easy to grow; they also looked pretty identical, with no major differences in phenotypes. They weren't at all demanding, feed-wise and - if anything - could be a little easy to overfeed with nitrogen.

The surviving three all started to show female flowers, until one of them went very badly hermie, almost overnight, a couple of weeks into 12/12.

The remaiming two girls grew a series of tight, dense buds, which frosted up very nicely indeed.

I was glad to see such heavy frosting, because (as warned) neither of these plants yielded very much. My scales are broken and I didn't take any pics (sorry), but I'd say they each produced half of what the PowerPlants they were sharing the space with produced.

But size isn't everything - how's the smoke?

Just as disappointing as the yield, I'm sorry to say. Even with a well-packed spliff, this strain smells of nothing, tastes of nothing and does almost nothing either. A real pity, because the buds look the mutts nuts (apart from size).

They were grown in B&Q compost, under a single 400W lamp; MH until two weeks into 12/12 (to reduce the stretch), HPS thereafter. Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi were added at the first repotting and they were fed with BioBizz nutrients. Along with the 4x PowerPlants, there was also a single White Widow in the 'drobe; both strains came out well-flavoured and pretty potent. All in all, this was one of my better grows and I'm pretty sure that it wasn't anything I did which caused the disappointing results I obtained from this strain.
