In-depth

RATE SCALE: ***** - As good as any photo I've grown, plus tremendous yield in 5 gallon container.
BAG APPEAL: **** - I knocked off 1 star because this strain should be purple. The main tops of my LST started turning purple in the last 5 days and the rest of the plant may have turned all purple had I let it grow a few more days. I attribute this to my inexperience as opposed to the strain.
Otherwise the buds have a nice dark green hue with red hairs, a somewhat standard look but perhaps with a slight blue\grey tinge when looking at it all together.

THE GROWTH: ***** - Grown 3 of these now, 3 gallon height = 28", 5 gallon was LST'ed but took up 4 square feet with a little room for a few smaller non-MJ plants
THE SMELL: **** - The buds have a clean light fruity smell to them with a slight spice note on the exhale. No hay odour for me :)
THE SMOKE: ***** - Really smooth smoke, can really take some healthy sized bong hits. Exhale is thick but mellowed by an earthy evergreen flavor. The initial berry aromas of the bud continue through the smoke, perhaps not as much as a dank plush berry I have lying around but still pronounced.
THE HIGH: **** - After 1 week cure the stone is very cerebral, my eyelids are heavy but my eyebrows are high. I'm feeling creative and motivated to write music or fill out smoke reports. The first hour I wouldn't reccomend driving a car or really interacting with Joe Q Public other than to accept a pizza or tacos. The stone gets mellower after that but doesnt really lead to drowsiness. Will update as the cure continues.

Additional Info: This is a really fun strain to start out with. I've grown 3 of these over the last year and they take a licking but keep on ticking. The plant powered through bad Ph issues and I'm very impressed with a 6 oz yield in a 5 gallon container, as well as ease at which she was trained. I'd reccomend for any newbs or lazy people such as myself who are looking for an easy and satisfying grow experience.

Was considering which seed to pop and you convinced me. ;)

I'll have a journal soon
 
This is a great strain. Currently on my third time with her as well. Speaking about taking an ass kicking... Two weeks ago I was about to pull her she looked so bad, first three sets of leaves had gotten so yellow and were just straight drooping down from deficiencies (so bad, in fact, I ended up just cutting them off so at least the lower branches could get air and light) that were probably caused by both over watering and incorrect pH. By the way, the best additive or tool you can have in your arsenal is pH up and down, (for those that don't already know) I thought she was dead, even though pH wasn't that far off, the difference between 6.0 and 6.5 pH(soil) is surprisingly noticeable. I finally decided to just get some new soil and transplant her instead of just letting deficiencies kill her slowly whilst waiting for the soil dry out, just to be watered again, which I knew wasn't going to help the roots any air. After changing her soil (which autos hate) i pH'd my water better and also added just a little bit of grow big for the N and all of the sudden she is standing at full attention, grown about 2-3", and flowering has begun..
Long story short, super resilient plant, fun to grow, easy too, as long as you listen to her and not water her every two or three days or twice a week (as most nutrient feeding schedules will say) no need to overfeed either. First time I grew BR was in a closet with like five or six 23watt cfl's and just FF big bloom (not even really a fertilizer, just micro nutes) she grew two and a half feet tall and gave me like 18g of some really nice bud. Not a huge yield, but there was barely any light, not too bad IMHO. Hope everyone is having a good new year so far. Here's a pic, two weeks ago, she was almost pulled. Now she's loving life.
