The Lifesaver I grew out and smoked was the Sativa pheno. It had low odor during growth but once cut and trimmed the smell of grapefruit was very strong. The smoke was a little harsh but the taste was definitely there.
The high was heady and from what it seemed, I believe the Sativa is a "roofless" high. What I mean by that is, the more you smoke, the higher you get. The high remains for a few hours and is motivational. I go alot done while smoking Lifesaver.
On the med side. Well I am a med user with extreme chronic back pain as well as migraine headaches. The Sativa pheno even though heady still gave me relief from my pains. It relaxed the muscles in my back which allowed me to get things done. Lifesaver is definitely a good med strain, even as a Sativa.
The Lifesavers I grew out that are reported on this grow report were grown from clone form. They were grown under 240 watts of fluorescent lighting for veg, fed with Earth Juice Grow. Once in flower they were grown in a perpetual harvest setup under a 400 watt HPS in 6 sq ft of room. They were fed Earth Juice Bloom plus catylist. CO2 was used every other day during the last month of flowering.

This is a quite nice plant. Take care not to burn it in the begining, it seemed sensitive to me. Grows out to a nice plant, very rich color in comparison to the others. Good shaped buds with a lovely coat of resins... Sometimes I don't know what BOG's thinking when he says 45 days... These took 56-6...continued

Very easy to feed organically, they love guanos!... This is a great strain for the begginer who wants a low cost, quality product! I'm stressing the word quality, just look at my pics! They even turn a nice purplish color at the end of flowering. The smoke is very smooth and tasty (fruity) although ...continued

Starts off very fast and has very tight internodal growth. Stays very short with a purple stalk, and some leaves purple/dark green. Flowers very quickly putting on a lot of weight in the 6th week and on. Gets VERY frosty and makes a picture perfect centerfold.

Extremely easy to grow, great for newbies in the game. Some phenos smell like candy but there were a few that didn't. It's very hard to find the blue pheno but I am sure it's somewhere in the thousands of seeds BOG has in stock.
The Lifesaver was my first real grow. I experimented with some bagseed once but I went no-holes-barred on this last round. Many of the issues to be graded on I'm sure would be a 1-3 points higher if I had more experience and a more optimal environment to grow in. The grow itself was a roller-coaster...continued

I germinated 3 seeds and got 3 nice females. The plants vegged well and showed no nute problems. I flowered them for about 63 days, but I could have cut them sooner. When I saw the nice color coming on I let them go a little longer. I had 2 phenos, one was more Bogbubble and one was more Blu...continued

I germinated 3 seeds and got 3 nice females. All vegged well and I had no nute problems. They had a short bushy Indica growth pattern. The buds were solid and very frosty. They put off a nice fruity smell during flower. I cut them at about 63 days. I could have cut them sooner but I let them go when...continued

Easy to clone and vigorous in vegetative growth. We had the "Sativa" pheno of Lifesaver which is lanky with a high flower/leaf ratio. This plant finished quickly showing a high degree of resin by 28 days in flower and tightening with milky trichomes by 40 days.
Lifesaver is some quality smoke. the taste of the buds is making me want to keep smoking it. not to mention that it is beautiful when flowering.. I got these beans from the very 1st Bogglegum/Lifesaver medley pack. I got only one male. the rest are girls. I like the sativa pheno. the high i...continued

Lifesaver – now here’s a great couchlock Indica! Best not to sit down if you want to remain awake – this is seriously relaxing sleep-inducing weed! It’s pretty much all body high, mentally the effect is just one of untroubled calm, very nice. Medicinally, the Lifesaver does help with pain to som...continued

Lifesaver, it cures what ails ya! Said best by BOG himself. This is a wonderful strain & I'd recommend growing it to anyone! It's a very uniform plant for the most part and it's really easy to grow out. I was working with two females out of 3 seedlings that I had pop up. 3 out of ...continued
One of the easiest plant I ever grew, does not like high nute levels. A little slow to show buds when lights are turned 12/12,but when they show they really take off, you will get one very large main cola and a whole bunch of golf ball sized side buds, all very thick with resin. They are not even be...continued

Lifesvaer has made me fall in love with Indicas. I kept 2 out of 3 plants, 1 hermied. One is plump and fat like BogBubble and the other is sweet, has purple trichs and smells like blueberries. The latter is extremely uplifting to the senses! People just love the fruity purple pheno!
I have IBS and defiantly need something to control the pain, nausea, and spasm incurred by such a disorder.
Germination: I grew out 5 Lifesaver seeds out of 10. Out of the 5, I got 1 female. She is being kept as a mother (THANK GOD, I'D CRY IF I LOST THESE GENETICS). I've had Nirvana seeds yie...continued

I germed out 3 lifesavers hoping that I would get at least one male, all germed and I got 2 females and one male..
Since the seeds has good genetics, no vegging of the plant at all. Just let it grow...Both plants topped once at the 3rd node and the 5th node for the other plant... The shorter pla...continued
This was my 1st try with LifeSaver and it certainly was what I was looking for. I only started 2 seeds for test grow , I’ve put the other 10 in since. Then the 2 I started I put into veg for about 8 weeks from seed. They were very strong growers once they were 15inch. I could tell sex luckily enou...continued

These were grown from clones taken from a re veg that I turned into a bonsai. I rooted three clones but had to go on holiday.. When I came back they had streched a bit so I toped them before I put them into flower.
They went straight into flowering until 50% of the pistils had turned red. They h...continued
