Hello, folks. 
It's been quite a while since I popped some seeds, so when I did, I decided to do something exotic. I got these from seedbotique as a freebie, like many others in the community.
At first I was convinced I'd never grow them because sativas are sometimes a pain in the ass to grow alongside a roomfull of indica-dominant plants. My craving for something new got the best of me, though, and here we are a few weeks into 12/12. Smile:
Of course these ladies will take forever and a day to finish, probably like 213 months or somthing. My kids will grow up and finish college before I get to smoke any of this. Perhaps I will celebrate my 5 year old son's college graduation with him by sharing a joint of this stuff. Hell, it'll be fresh!
No, I'm just busting on sativas because it's been over 2 years since I grew anything THIS sativa-dominant, and the reality is setting in. But I think I can make them sing, I hope so anyway.
An important key to growing sativas is to not let them dry out, or come close... Also, keep that Ph within range, too. They don't like swings in pH, even in the slightest. Sativas are challenging to grow indoors because pH, soil dryness, and many other factors MUST be kept in order for SOOOO long before harvest. The sheer length of time it takes to properly finish one of these increases the chances of something going wrong. So, not only are they picky about how you treat them, but they will remain picky AND alive for a lot longer than the average indica-dominant plant.
BUT!!! If you can pull it off -if you can provide near perfect indoor conditions for 10-14 weeks (whew!)- you'll be rewarded with a very rare and exotic smoking experience.
Let's hope these fine ladies can be kept happy for the next 213 months, eh?
