You've got me thinking about growing White Russian again. I grew it 2 years ago...first time from seeds and second time from cuttings. Yes, they're very uniform plants, which I appreciate ...almost as uniform as SS Bubblegum. I'd had the seeds in storage for several years before I got around to growing them. I bought all 5 of Simons strains back in 2003 when they were $60 for 15 seeds. I made a LOT of F2's and I've grown the AK and Bubblegum every year since, but recently retired them cuz everybody I know is tired of them. My least favorite of the bunch was Chronic. Graet yield, but not so potent. My fave is Kali Mist. The KM seeds i bought were old at the time, which was a lucky break, because in 2001 it was out crosssed with Skunk #1 to improve yield and bag appeal. It was still a good strain after that, but not exactly the same.
Back to the White Russian...the only thing I didn't like about it was that it took almost 10 weeks to really realize it's potential, while everthing else I was growing at the time was harvested by 9 weeks. But, I'm growing some Hazes now, so the 10 weeks don't matter.
