Been using cannabis medicinally for a few years and this is one of the better ones I've tried for managing my chronic back pain. Takes the edge off without knocking me out.

Outdoor run in full sun. She got massive — had to stake the main branches. The cure took 3 weeks and the smell is absolutely incredible. Worth every minute.

Grew 4 plants outdoors this past season. They got big fast and the buds were dense and fragrant. Trimming was tedious but the end product made it worth it.
