Hi there, I'm growing this strain right now. Its my first attempt ever. I grew from seed, and am still vegging at day 47 as we speak. I was successful in getting only 2 viable germinations from 5 fem. seeds. Lighting is 24 hour continuous, a combination- mish mash of T5 (2X42 Watt, 90 cm tubes...used mostly for germination) and T3 (10 x 20 watt bulbs in various config) as well as 5 Phillips Tornado high output CFL bulbs as well (5 x 45 watts) = 560 watts output (approx). Plants are potted in an acidic floral-mix soil, with peat moss mixed in at 5 parts soil to one part peat moss. The pots are plastic 25 L each (a bit small I feel). I started early with a dry, water soluble 15-10-10 NPK nutrient formula that is administered every other day. The other days I give tap water. I have them set up in my loft with oblique VELUX windows joining in to give a healthy dose of natural light for at least 4 hours each day. There is a small humidifier running at 3 L/day, I've got a small fan heater running continuously for 6 hours each day on timer also. The temperature is maintained at 21-24 C continuously (69 F to 74 F). I'm in eastern Europe at the moment and the temps are dipping lower and lower as Autumn sets in. Both plants are thriving well, however I feel they are a bit spindly. Still there is a LOT of new adventitious shoot and lateral growth to go around. I will veg for a full 8 weeks and see how the flowering goes with 600 watt HPS, 12/12. Both plants are at 69 cm. By all accounts, I feel they are doing well and yield should go up with longer veg period and HPS in flowering mode. Let me know how yours do! I started with sprouts on Sept 5th, 2009.
