This strain started flowering far too early, at a little over 2 weeks. If this started just a little later it would have been the massive yielder it is advertised as.

Buds were way too airy. Bag appeal is very low. Pretty much disintegrates into sticks and dust. Good potency though, I was surprised by that.

I don't know if I got a bad phenotype of what but I won't be growing anything from this breeder again. Sometimes I like to branch out and try some lesser known breeders. There is no a whole lot of information on this strain or breeder so I felt the need to make a review.​
