Grew this in a 4x4 tent under LED. Stretched more than expected but structure was solid and trichome development was beautiful. Dense frosty buds at the end.

This strain handled a pH issue mid-grow better than anything else I've grown. Recovered quickly and the final product was still excellent. Strong genetics.

Used to be a sativa-only person but this changed my mind. The balance here is genuinely impressive — energetic enough to stay active but relaxing when you sit down.

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.
