For the Arcata TW only clone no seed, the longer i let my TW flower the more hash taste it will give when flowers are smoked. I like to wait till they turn purple. 12 weeks sounds good to me

I agree on the weird taste, but i kind of like it

It's fruity minty dead wale at the same time

and it tranculizes the survace of your tongue

The smell is pretty strong, one of the strongest i've smelled.
I grow it on compost/dirt add NPK, mg and lime to it and they only get fed tab water. I like to throw in a few worms here and there.
The hit will make you max stoned as high at the same time.
Don't smoke to much of it in in short period of time as it will fully hit you after 30 minutes. Seen many mates turn white and puke.
Don't let anyone at the pub puff with you as you'll be standing alone after 30 minutes, everyone goes home and wants to sit down as they're bummed. Not an every day smoke for most.
Anyways i smoke it during work
Since i made hash and BHO out of it i only smoke hash and i've noticed that BHO will fook you up good so i'll stay away from that for a while

I've had 5 TW's 3 meter high in the back garden and one produced a few seeds, i'll test out what it will do probably got pollonated by some other plant outside. Never had a herm from the cut.
I'll pop em after a few months.
Peace
