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.

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.

"Easy first grow, great result"

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.
