Absolutely keeps its promises! Absolutely no regrets here.
They grow very compact, yet deliver a huge yield. The buds are compact and heavy, almost hard. I have grown 4 of this kind and they developed very uniformly. I also had a genetic variation of some kind... one of them started flowering veeery late with first signs of preflower around week #10.
They're VERY forgiving! A list of what torments I put them through:
-topping
-LST
-Schwazzing
-massive fungus gnat invasion from start to end
-pH problems somewhere between (had to buy pH meter to realize tap water comes at ~pH 8-8,5)
-massive salt built up at some point, flushed them and measured ECs ranging from 7 to 11 in runoff
-two got a crack at the lower stem when I tried to bind them down in later stages, when they weren't that flexible anymore
-in flower they survived desert climate with VPDs up to 2.4 until I finally bought a humidifier
I didn't smoke any of the weed yet, cause it's still curing.
But I dry ice sifted around 13grams of sift out of ~450g of wet bud weight. The dry sift has a veeeery intense pine tree aroma, almost stingy in the nose, if you stick your nose in the bag and take a sniff.
To summarize: compact grow, huge yield, strong pine tree aroma, well balanced strong body / head high
