Comments:

This plant turned out fairly well. Seems to grow like a hash plant, modest yield of potent indica. The yield may have suffered in part from a mite problem that appeared halfway through flower, I didn't hit it with neem at the start like I usually do.

It has a cat piss smell when flowering. It smells kind of cheesy once it has been cured. When you break it apart there is a mild grape scent. It has a mild hashy taste with very little aftertaste.

It grows slowly in both veg and flower, probably better suited to a sea of green method than a scrog method. This one was vegged for around 11 weeks. The plant only weighed in at around 2 ounces. It has many tiny leaves, calyx to leaf ratio is decent. The trim is good for making hash. The buds are of medium density, sort of gummy when you break them apart.

The effect is not a heavy narcotic stone but more of a buzzy phychoactive stone. Good for when you have something important you need to do and need to get really stoned first.

Recommended for those seeking mild tasting potent indica.

I love that. Care to share an example?

OK, let's say you have a business and have to be somewhere to sell and promote your product... you only have 15 minutes before you have to go... the Black Russian will put you in the right mood. :)

That's pretty awesome being able to work and be stoned. I'll try it for my next grow. Thanks.
 
what size of pot did you have your black Russian in? and did the plant weigh 2oz. before or after cure? I also am growing a BlackRussian from the delicious seed company.

Nice report! I grew Black Russian as a freebie last grow and it ended up being one of the best plants in my garden! I got a very different pheno than you, grew very much like a 50/50 hybrid with excellent branching and very good yield. Buds were not super dense and heavy, but were very long and plentiful as the plant developed 15-18 tops after topping and training. The smell and taste were of a sweet mocha type flavor with some subtle fruity overtones......extremely smooth smoke. Potency was solid at about 7.5/10 for me, and was a great all-round daytime smoke.

I have the same pheno as what you have, I have neglected it but it is still producing a nice amount of very sweet and slight fruity smelling bud. This one is in soil outside. I took a few clones and have them on the table inside in vedge. The leaves have a more saliva look to them, longer and skinny fingers. My outdoor one has about 8 tops and i would say the top colas are about 8' long in its 4th or 5th week of bud and already have many crystals on it. I think it is going to be a very nice growing plant.
