KC 45 and KC 51.........does any one have any information on these two strains?

Tranquillo, all of you panic merchants. This IS an auto-flowering strain- It»s just a massive variety and it»s not going to begin flowering until it is pretty big; it can«t produce big yields over night, can it? This should end up over two meters tall if unpruned and well rooted and I genuinely think it could produce a kilo outdoors, without too much difficulty. So be prepared because, like an auto, this will NOT stop growing just because you«ve chickened out and put it on a 12/12.
On arrival, two of my seeds did look a bit ropey. I had a pot from which I»d just cut down a plant and for the sake of it and without so much as a flush, I chucked them in. Well, one came up and like a cuckoo, it took over the show. I«ve tried a superauto before; it cost a fortune and was scrawny rubbish. This girl is a MONSTER, I»ve never known a plant like it; she just wants to get big so she can produce bud. Believe me, it»s more disconcerting than it sounds if you’re tight for space and you weren«t expecting it. She came up like a jack-in-a-box, produced massive great fan leaves at six or eight inches tall and from then on in, I could barely keep her under control. She’s easy to grow and doesn»t give a stuff about the light cycle-I«ve grown her indoors and out, but she does need to get at least four or five feet tall before the magic begins to happen, so don»t panic. It«s a very unusual and useful strain in my estimation and a good smoke, so long as you like ’em large.
Long story short, I took some cuttings. One survived, I hit it with silver thiosulphate and hey presto; feminised seeds. And I still have the eight originals! Leave the bud on the plant too long and the lovely lemon flavour leaves and you just get pine resin. Serious guerrilla strain for peanuts. I«ve tried KC36 also- great strain; short, stout, tough and tasty, and I have Bahia Blackhead, Mindbender and Double D in storage. It doesn»t matter how much you pay for seeds; I«ve tried two or three dozen different varieties, Photo and Auto, cheap and expensive- you can screw them up just as easily. KC Brains really does provide top notch seeds for virtually nothing.
