Hmmmm, thing is, I seem to recall Da BB having done some similar exp. with
the intent of proving or disproving the old 'early harvest makes for more
'uplifting' weed.' thing, and came to the conclusion that it indeed did not,
rather that the bud just got stronger with a longer finish..?
Also, the grow was quite low temps at night times, not much diff. than
outdoors, so in the 50's/low 60's F (after harvesting and getting them under
normal light, I could actually see the starts of some nice 'purpling'
)...

Oh, they are /most excellent/ genetics!!! It isn't the WW though, it's the
*White Russian* - a stable cross between WW and AK47 - good yields, easy to
grow (far from being a premadonna strain I tell ya), smells and tastes
GREAT, is a smooth smoke even with no cure, and gets one VERY stoned! THC
content in several samples around the time it won the CC ('95?... ) measured
at >= 22%%

I miss it too bro'! Thing is, I've hardly got it in me ATM - my wits are
rarely very funstional, and my energies are low. Still, all part of the
healing process, and things aRe most certainly getting much better. I will
be back. With fucking shiny-arsed tinkling BELLS on. For true. ',;~}

Wish I could send you a li'l sample mate!
BTW - am off to post a harvest report shortly, heheheeeeeeeee!

Oh aye! I really want Kath and I to have a child, but it hasn't happened
yet. I just love 'em (until about pre-teen-age LMAO!), and know ath and I
would make and bring up the most beautiful childer!
> Hi to Kath.
Thanks mate. All our love to you and yours! Sounds like you are all doing
just fine ',;~}
