I found branches that were so close nodded they often looked like buds themselves. Harvesting around 65 days is about the best it gets taste wise, high, etc. It can be pulled from day 50 to 70, without much loss, Flowers will increase/swell on the longer flowering times but the buds are huge no matter what.
Green Giant is BigBud/ShivaSkunk - so it's a big yielder. It's fine indoors as well as outdoors. Clones easily, smells skunky and tastes like a typical Indica-dominant strain. The flowering period is eight weeks indoors & would finish outdoors in mid-October if grown outdoors @ 40 degrees lattitude.
Matanuska Thunder from Brother's Grimm grew some huge size buds with many girls snapping due to the great weight and size. I myself found Matanuska Thunder to be very mould resistant compared to other strains with a great high. By crossing these two great stable mates I was aiming to give Green Giant that little more lift in the smoke quality department with the help of MTF. This cross has created some awesome yields and produced a great cash cropper. Indoors: I try to keep the height around 2-3 feet tall because that's as deeply as the HIDs can penetrate effectively and these huge buds only block the light. Remember keep that air flowing!
WARNING make sure you have plenty of fresh air movement as these girls tend to mould up due to the solidness and awesome size of the buds. Great for SOG/Scrog growing methods 1gram +per watt is easily achieved with this cross.

I was only able to keep one alive out of all the seeds...my fault. Luckly, the only one turned out to be a keeper mom. I just love this lady. She starts to snow around week 3 and gets stickier every day. The smell is like pineapple candy and very very sweet. I let her go 46 days in flower to avoid t...continued
