Grew this in a 4x4 tent under LED. Stretched more than expected but structure was solid and trichome development was beautiful. Dense frosty buds at the end.

This strain handled a pH issue mid-grow better than anything else I've grown. Recovered quickly and the final product was still excellent. Strong genetics.
