I've been surprise by this strain. It is supposed to be about %90 indic a yet it has sativa like growing properties with lateral branches and a total height of about 5 feet(indoors) growing under about 500 watts of LEDs. I also thought it would be a faster grow. I'm approaching week 12(from seed) and the plants are only starting to have significant bud development. It's a pretty large plant. I kept one of my plants relatively unpruned to see what it's natural development looked like. It's about 3-4 feet wide by 5 feet tall. All of the lower branches maintain a J shaped growth with the outer bud development reaching for the light. The one mistake I made with this plant was putting them into a 12-12 too early. At about 36" and 6 weeks from seed, I changed the light cycle. Their was some leaf curling and probably the only period in which they didn't seem robustly healthy. They haven't had a really great nuts cycle either. I started them off on bud candy at about 4-6 weeks. And having been out of nuts for about 2 weeks, I just got some gen. hydro FloraBloom. If I let these plants grow to full maturity, they will be a cash cow. It already appears that the various buds growing on a stalk bare going to grow into each other. The unpruned plant has about 20-25 stalks which are developing buds. I was really surprised to see how well the led light penetrates the canopy. I'm not sure if that is because of the layout of lights or them being led. What I diid is, I kept a 300 watt full spectrum led about 6" above the canopy from tyne start and once I started flowering, I introduced several 10 watt single chip LEDs on the walls at about waist height with their light being pointed at the lower branches. At like 8 weeks I added a 100 watt single chip led that i got on ebay for about $60 including the cost of a fan and heatsink. That is when I started to notice that the bud growth is really evening out throughout the entire plants. These ares the 1st plats that i HAVE GROWN WITH LED lights and I have been very happy with how they work. And I haven't had a single electricity bill over $100
