White Widow Automatic

This strain was an absolute joy to grow. I didn't top but used both low-stress and high-stress training; the plants just loved it. There were a couple of differences between the two plants, with #1 being larger with stickier but loser buds. I had thrips in the tent, but they only infested #2. I'm not sure why. Did they infest that plant because it was smaller (and maybe less vigorous), or did the plant grow smaller because of the infestation? The chicken or the egg... According to Royal Queen Seeds, the indoor yield can be up to 400-450 grams per square meter, and I almost doubled that with a 274 grams harvest in a 1/3-square-meter tent. Certainly can't complain about that. The buds just finished drying and are now curings. They smell absolutely delicious but went from a citrus/pine aroma during the grow to a peppery pine aroma, with a hint of gas, after the 16-day dry. I'm excited to see how the terp profile will develop further during the cure. I haven't smoked any yet as I prefer well-cured buds, so I can't comment on taste or effect.
