(HAOGxSSDD)xHelena: Freebies
Structure/growth: Grows great as a multi branch bush, would probably also do just fine as a single cola xmas tree as well. Look for evenly spaced budding structure and strong branching that can hold their own almost til the very end. Every seed has had fairly uniform growth all like this. An absolute resin machine, it'll leave your fingers sticky even in the early weeks of flower. Yields are on the average side, some phenos chunk up pretty nicely. dense buds.d
Time: 9-10 weeks seems to be the sweet spot for most of these ladies, the real sedation lovers could take them a week longer for sure.
Nose: on the bush, these ladies have a very fruity smell, yet very pungently acidic. I think chemical cleaner, my wife says stomach acid, like throw up. Either way, it adds the fruit and stinks in a great way. Jarred up it sours up quite a bit, and almost tastes like a good and plenty in the smoke, very sweet and herbal.
Effects: real nice for feeling good while you relax. You can still function and focus and enjoy activities on this, but the Helena gives it a more sedative effect. I hit it for a bedtime smoke, but its just personal preference. not my most sedative strain but its great for some introspection.
Resistance: No pests in the garden to test against, but has strong hermie resistance, even agaist light leaks and misschedules. No noticees stresses from over or underfeeding. A very easy plant to grow.
