the crystal is an easy plant to grow and a great smoke.i will grow some more of the strain myself.very easy to control and grow.the right size for indoor growing.good luck
 
I have 10 crystal beans from .nl. I'm going to give it a go next fall :D. My ice, white widow and blueberry have a few weeks to go and then it'll be too hot to grow. Actually, it's almost too hot now to grow - it was 92 in my flower box this morning.

Let's see some more pics!!

Andy and Pencil - I've had nute probs with both ww and ice - everyone told me these "white strains" are very sensitive to grow. It sounds like crystal is not a "white" starin, then?

Crystal is supposedly WW crossed with Northern Lights. Bud pics I can find here and there aren't white. I'm also doing 4 WW now. I'm doing FF by the book, feeding every other watering and keeping my fingers crossed. I also read that white strains can be very nute sensitive, that's why I'm feedintg every other water. I've got plenty of light and exhaust, and I run a personal space AC most of the day--it's hot where I live as well. Right now I'm 30 days into flower and everything seems perfect, but that doesn't keep the nerves away.

Which personal space AC do you have? How much noise does it make? I'd like to get one, too.

Got it online at Compact Appliances (I think that's the name). It was like $220 maybe? It's not too noisey--I'm stealthed out behind a fake wine rack and with the door closed and the wine rack in front of the door, you can't really hear it. It also has to be vented to outside so you can exhaust the hot air. If I don't run it my temps will go to the high 80's quickly. And, as you know, it hasn't even gotten warm this year yet. By the way, how are Vandolay Industries doing with the economy in the gutter and all?;)
 
loooks good...I have some crystal in flower at 6 weeks now..they stretch bad so watch them..mine are over 7 feet tall..Good luck and Bud Porn is needed this morning..:clap: keep on doing what your doing:lama:
 
the crystal are nute sensitive while young,after they grow about a foot tall,they eat the nutes up.
i neverhad stretch problems with the crystal either.they grew perfect for me.about 4 ft tall and the bottom limbs almost reached the height of the main cola.

How tall are they?

The crystal in the pics is 31". One of my WWs is like 33". The shortest is the other crystal at about 23", but it makes up for being vertically challenged with bushiness.

I had incredible luck with germination as well as sexual preferance. Of 4 ww, all germed and were female. Of 4 Crystal, 4 germed, one failed to root and one was a butch little male. Had a bag seed and it too was female. It seems that natural selection is going to eventually give us better and better female to male ratios, as the strains that are heavily male or that hermie will not be grown again by the grower they offend. No evidence, just applying common sense to the sport--I know that if I germed a strain that gave me a higher male than female ratio, or that hermied on me, I wouldn't grow that strain again. jmo
