Indoor flowering time is approximately 8 weeks (56 days), while outdoor plants finish around late September to early November depending on phenotype. The strain produces bushy, compact plants typical of indica varieties with average yields of 400g/m². Plants stay relatively short indoors (105-135cm) and are known for their disease resistance and low maintenance requirements.
