Im growing Great white shark outdoors this season. I flowered some out and i have to say it is a very good plant with an exceptional high, but ive grown lots of big plants outdoors and this variety is one in which the grower needs to take certain steps to have a successful and satisfying grow. I thought i would pass on my feelings.

3 words describe this plant.
VIGOROUS
MASSIVE
POTENT

1. The vigor of the plant is excellent and its growth is impressive. While the plant is generally hardy and its stem and branching strong, the size of the buds dictate for anyone living in an enviroment with any wind at all that the plant has to be staked. The plant is too big and the buds are too big to withstand any wind. So much so that one 3o mph gust will destroy a beautiful plant and practically end the seasone .

The plant must either be staked and tied down or pruned down to the point that it isnt wind sensitve.

2. Potency on the strain is average at 8 weeks and would make a good 8 week commercial strain, but at 10-11 weeks, she earns a spot on the "personal stash" shelf. For buds so large, it actually perfoms well with regaurd to mould, but watch closely that 9th-11th week cause trouble can come quickly with a wet spell.

3. I come from a traditional farming background, and farmers equate yield with fertilizer. This variety will take all you pour on her and respond approriately. Although the GH staff might disagree, this old OD grower would strongly recommmend being a bit reserved and limit the nutes somewhat.
The vigor of this variety is exceptional and ferts only increase that effect. Pump a lot of juice into these girls and you can end up with a plant thats too big to deal with in a hurry if plant size can present problems for you. Further, because of bud size and density, excessive ferts in the sytem, especially at flower, can enhance the possibilities of powdery mildew and mould.

Pruning to encourage more, but smaller buds would be advisable for those living in a wet enviroment.


An excellent variety in my view. The taste and stone is very good. She just needs a little extra TLC outdoors to leave one satisfied with their grow.

of course, it depends on the final goal:
best flavour=less fertilizer
most grams=more fertilizer
