This is for the Summer Newbie Bud Contest.
All plants have had a lot of vigor since germinating and really never slowed down. Easy plants to grown not very picky or sensitive. They grow fast and strong, display great branching and strong root systems. These plants respond to topping very well and would strongly recommend doing so. After being topped is when the branching really explodes. These have a lot of strength in their branches and shouldn't require any crazy staking or support to keep them propped up. My pheno did need the staking to support her in the final 2 weeks of flower.
Once flowering started males showed their sex with in a few days to a week into 12/12. Took the female a little over 2 weeks to show her sex. Stretch was about 300% on these plants and seemed to all take place in the first 3 weeks of flower, very little stretch beyond that time. Plants gave off a good amount of odor in veg but became very stinky in flowering. Smells of a lemony piney Og funk with undertones of berries and cream. Has good branching and node spacing that produces many bud sites to develop on the plant.
She produces big dense nugs with a lot of heft on her main colas, with strong bud development through the entire plant even on lower branches. The 3rd week of flower is when she starts putting out the frost and it really become visible. Around the 5th week of flower is when her smells start getting very complex and unique with undertones of berries and cream to go along with the Og funk. This pheno was ready at 79 days of flowering from seed. Yield looks to be above average to good. with thick extremelly dense flowers, from top to bottom of the plants.
Overall would rate her an easy plant to grow. They demonstrate fast growth with lots of vigor. They do not show signs of being picky plants. Does not show as a sensitive plant to nutrients, feedings or temperatures. Recovers very quickly and show little to no signs of stress from topping and transplanting. Has strong branching and root systems, with long fat leafs showing both Sativa and Indica characteristics. Beautiful in appearance, structure, leafs, smells and bud development.
