It's not a new strain, he may be confused with something else. I grew a 5 pack out about 6 months ago or so. Pretty uniform, about 30 inches tops in a 2 gal fabric. I didn't top or anything on them, and got very solid colas. You may want to trian or top as it needs a little help branching, or I may have packed them a little tight together as well. I'll look for a couple pics in a sec and get them to you. I believe they went around 70-80 days from seed. Normal feeder, nothing stands out in my mind beyond that. Unless you have specific questions on it.
