Indoor under (3) 400w hid lamps in soil. This plant turns into a bush no need to prune or crop. Im in week 7 now of flowering and the buds are crystal covered and real good size for a 4 foot plant. Total grow and veg time 4 months. Let this plant get mature before flowering (3.5 foot tall or so) I belive youll get bigger buds and more of them! Bought the 5 pack of fem seeds. No hermies and no males. Very happy with all the fem seeds I have bought from Nirvana so far. Did have some blackberry seeds that only 1 germanated but Nirvana replaced them for free. Good company to deal with. (Posted on 1/31/11)

huge buds and a easy grow very resinous every seed grew no problems would grow her again . grew indoors 1000 watt hydro system. (Posted on 1/20/11)

I grew these out, and I will say that they are awesome if treated kindly. These aren't the most newb friendly beans. All seeds germed successfully. They were pretty and full plants, with little deviation between individual plants. Heavy stress, (it was my first grow) will def. cause them to hermie. I lost two plants due to being a newb. They are more forgiving when in soil. When using hydro, I'd recommend starting nutes @ 3/4 strength before moving up to full strength. Also, don't let pH run above 6. Not very smelly when growing, except when rubbed, then they release a sweet sharp smell of pine/mint and pineapple. The flowering time should be put more to the long side, rather than medium as they do require a full 8-10+ weeks. Wait as long as possible b/c the potency seems to really need the last few weeks. They aren't mite resistant, but do handle high heat well (temps up to 90 deg. F day time). I've had no problems with mold, but do recommend having a fan. This is def. an up, social high. The first time I smoked I ended up looking in the pantry for food, but ended up cleaning and re-organizing the pantry instead. It can give the munchies, but not badly like a lot of other strains. Due to this being my first grow I didn't get a lot from the first plant and I killed off 2 others and hermied 1. Therefore, I can't speak to "burnout" (the weed not getting you as high after consistent smoking) or how much it yields. Also, these clone easily (100% success so far). I def. recommend these, and will post back when I have some other strains finished to compare it to. (My only other was Arjan Strawberry haze which is a VERY forgiving plant -won't hermie and somewhat mite resistant-, but is around 8-12% THC and does suffer from burnout after about 1-2 wks of heavy smoking). Also, I would like to commend Nirvana on A+ customer service and fast shipping. I have seen other people with issues about Nirvana, but as far as my experience went, I am extremely happy.

all seeds ok (Posted on 11/14/10)

I love Nirvana's feminized seeds excelent shipping and quality with the exception of White Castle here it is veg 2 white castle 3 raspberry cough for 4 wks I run my light durning day hours early am tell about dusk so i know it was not light leeks This is the first time I have goten bad seeds out of almost two years with Nirvana.I probley well not even try germination the last three White Castle seeds don't want to waste time or money on seeds that are sopose to be 100% feminized.If you read the reviews about this product it seems to be happening alot Why are you guys selling bunk seeds to sick people that need it? What are you going to do to make this right?

NIRVANA COMMENT: Customer opened a ticket, Alice'll reply asap. (Posted on 10/7/10)

A LATE START THIS YEAR PLANTED ON FATHERS DAY LOOKS REAL NICE AND AS FOR TASTE I CAN HARDLY WAIT, YEILD IS NOT WHAT I AM USED TO BUT LOOKS NICE (Posted on 9/28/10)

Watch out !!!! 100% feminized is a bullshit !
It was my first experience with feminized seeds and I was very surprised to see a male plant during the flowering ! So the half of my garden (1 seed + 3 clones) have directly gone to the garbage ! Cool !
You're now informed.
bye.
(i hope the moderator will keep this note)

NIRVANA COMMENT: Hi, "moderator" here. What you got was not a male, but a hermie. They're caused by stress such as light leaks, heat issues, etc. Considering you've never tried feminised seeds before, you are a little quick to condemn the product rather than the grower. Read more about hermies and how to prevent them here: https://www.weedportal.com/knowledgebase/article-281.html

Great Beans! 7 weeks veg. topped once. 5 gallon DWC under 250w = plenty budsites. I got 2 main colas with plenty side branches. Finished at 42" tall @ 8 weeks. 74 grams sticky very smelly (spices, black pepper, cleaning solvent) buds. The effect is an uplifting yet mellow buzz. Psychadelic at times, kinda like mushrooms.
Now the disclaimer: Nirvana seeds genetics are strong, my growing skills are not. I had problems with gnats that killed my roots, mites that ate my buds and gray mold to boot! Still got a good yield from this abused plant.
Now for the whiners! SHUT UP! "Only 9 out of 10 beans cracked" Even if tortured and ignored you should get an ounce from each seed. When was the last time you bought an ounce for under 50 bucks. The potential is here, we just have to make the effort to bring it home. (Posted on 8/13/10)

Pop these babies as soon as I got them. ALL came up....NIRVANA is the best !! Beautiful plants. Not to tall. Last 3 weeks of flowering, lots of resin!! It's a great sativa high with a calming clear headed high it got me pumped I was blasting music and cleaning my house the smell is great mint with a hint of pine with a touch of coffee. NICE !! (Posted on 8/5/10)

If deciding between this and whitewidow, the widow is definately the way to go, out of five feminised i received, 1 didn't germ and 1 was male. Other than that the other three turned out real nice tall sticky icky. The widow i ordered with it was 100% amazing, vouch for it any day. (Posted on 8/3/10)

I ordered 4 strains and received them in 5 business days.Very impressed with the shipping considering they came from the other side of the planet.Purchased White Castle,Master Kush,Bubblelicious and Wonder Woman all Fem.I have germinated (36hrs) and planted 5 out of 5 seeds so far with no problems.Plants are lookin good.Would definitely order from them again.....2 Green thumbs up!

Thanx Nirvana (Posted on 7/23/10)

I ordered 15, given they germed really fast. however 4 didn't germinate at all; 3 were runts, one was a male. I mean i'de definetly use nirvana shop again the shipping was great and speedy. the male really threw me off; i was wondering if i could possibly get a few seeds thrown my way though (Posted on 7/23/10)

broke ground after 48 hours, only took 3 days to ship to florida. (Posted on 6/23/10)

I have been looking for a good medical strain since back when I was just a "fucking junkie." Now that I have hep c and glaucoma, looks like my status was raised to "patient," from what I am reading here anyway. Its hard to believe where we are now when in the 50's and 60's people (some of my friends) got years in prison for possession only. Some of these guys were stellar citizens in every other regard and many were very intelligent and could have contributed to society in so many ways. The real crime was in locking away so many talented people for their choice of medicine or recreation in their own homes. I have had the experience of the DEA blowing through our doors a few times - well, not always the DEA. There were so many outfits and dollars spent to stop the maniacal use of pot that one wonders what actual good could have been done with that same money. My God, you'd have thought we were worse than the 9/11 extremists and had just murdered a school full of children, one time. 12 people in tow to the station for one ounce of pot in the apartment. I had just stopped in to pick up a sweater I had left there a month earlier. It was my last day of being in the Marines and my parents, two brothers and a sister had come to take me to dinner that evening and then I was going to go with them to Mazatlan and then drive home with them to Minnesota. They drove 2600 miles to pick me up. They drove by the apartment so I could just run in to get the sweater. Next thing they saw was me in a line of 11 other servicemen who were linked together with handcuffs and being led through a parking lot to a bus to take us to jail. You should have seen the look on their faces! My whole family was there! That was in 1971. I apologized to my parents until they died in 2002 and 2003. That homecoming didn't work out like any of us planned.
Anyway, I am now a "patient." Funny that event happened in LA, CA. Now they have pot expos for God sake. I kind of feel robbed. Thank God we had a nice judge who just let us all go home after a couple of weeks. You should see what it is like in that Orange County Jail! Talk about, "Animal Farm." Thank God again for letting me get busted with four packs of Kool Cigarettes. I was like a Messiah in there with those things. I bought my way out of a lot of real problems with those little devils.
I am happy to hear that there are some health people here who say that their patients have had good experiences with this strain. I will try it right after I finish flowering the AK48, Ice, Papaya, Black Jack, and whatever mystery strain I got from Nirvana last December. Whatever it is, it is doing very well. It should be fun trying to identify it. So far, it reminds me of Ice but we shall see in about one month. I am hoping it is different than any I have tried. I had just tried to grow some jock horror but they all died. I have a problem keeping them alive. My seeds shoot out to four to six inches and then turn to threads and die quite a bit. I quit germinating and then transferring to a grow medium because I always killed it off during the transfer. I have had far better luck just putting them in a small cube of rockwool that has been soaked in fish emulsion and I just throw them on a plate and set them on the hot water heater to keep warm. They always come up within a day or two (I first throw them in a glass of water for a day to crack them a bit and then into the rock wool.) But even tho they all pretty much germinate now, I still have the problem with the unbelievable stretching (as many as nine inches in two days) and then they die because they either thin out to a thread or they just cannot hold themselves up and in so doing they kink and, again, die. Its like I have a black thumb! I always start out with three times the seeds I expect to finish and sometimes I have to do that twice to get a plant to live. Then, when they do, its like an all points bulletin was sent out to all the spider mites in the state. many times, I am literally wiping them off with a piece of cotton soaked in alcohol - hoping I can get to the finish before they have killed off the plant totally. When i first started, I actually bought a microwave for killing them off for a few seconds before drying the plant out. It gave me a sense of pleasure to get back at those suckers, once I didn't have to worry about killing the plant myself. I have had them in the shower to hose down and everything else you can think of to get rid of those bastards.
Now, I do not even grow in the summer. I like the lights in the winter anyway and it is just nice to grow something without feeling like I have to strap up before i go into the grow room. I just grow all I need in the cooler months (thank God for the global warming that has cooled our summers down here. I get a couple of months more before the spider mites attack. I literally soak down the area with "Home Defense" and that has worked wonderfully. Here it is June already and the only bugs I have seen are a few dead ones and they wouldn't hurt my plants anyway. Wrong kind. I spray it all over the tubs - thinking it would keep them from crawling up the sides. I wonder if they ride the wind or crawl to their destruction? I bet they can't believe what they ran into this year! I WILL overcome. I have gotten about six cigar boxes of dried bud so far for the summer. Once the other stuff is finished I should have a dozen filled with six different strains. That ought to hold me till the cooler weather comes back and I can try this and a few other strains for next season. I do not sell anything I grow but anyone who is here always leaves happy.
Bye. (Posted on 6/18/10)

So, many people seem to continually comment on how their seeds made it into mainly US destination and how fast and what not; which is great.
I am writing to comment on why these seeds are some of the best. White Castle along with Nirvana's White Rhino are my patients favorite. The dispensaries cannot keep an ounce for longer than two hours. Why?
These strains, if grown correctly, are such awesome and motivating highs. Plus, they are really fast at finishing. 42 days for the White Castle doing 24 hour veg (400W MH Sunpulse 6.4K) and 12/12 (Ushio HPS 600W). Grown at 8700'. I did let these get about 28 inches before sending them into flower (of course, the pistels were there).
White Castle is such a sweet and pungent high. The amount of trichomes were off the charts. Like the White Rhino let the buds cure for at least 7 days and the White will come alive! My snips had to be scraped constantly. I would highly recommend White Castle, and hats off to Nirvana for such a great strain. The only downfall... only about two/two and a half ounces of dried (stem breaking dry) per plant. (Posted on 6/8/10)

My friend ordered this strain from Nirvana last year; I was there for most of the growing season.

This strain cracks fast and takes to even the cheapest soil well, requires more water than other strains I noticed. - strong with a smell like menthol and hits like it to, real cool and almost too strong for anything other than a few bowls at a time - this aint no street weed.

Though not the strongest Nirvana has to offer the high lasted longer than the 'Full Moon' strain and was the most 'forgiving' strain we ever grew.

We clipped and dried this sucker a full three weeks before the other Nirvana strains, we were more than satisfied and everyone we came in contact with, the feeling was mutual.

Already ordered seeds for my own, this is a keeper and grows like healthy bud should - highly recommended

Nirvana customer for life, here. Indoor planting is where this succeeds.

WHITE CASTLE IS THE FASTEST GROUND BREAKER I HAVE EVER PLANTED BUT ONT THE BAD SIDE IT GOES RIGHT INTO BUT AT ABOUT 2 FT. LIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST SO MABE THAT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT GREAT GROWER WISH I HAD MORE SEEDS

BUFFALOBOB_ARE (Posted on 5/16/10)

ordered some of these on april 9 and still no sign of them on the 27th. i was just about to hit up alice at the help desk. and wine that (medical uses) my grow schedule for patients is now shot to shit so please reship. and WTF, a fucking volcano . BTY this is a good strain for pain, :-)
bummer, how much longer before i can have some if needed to be replaced and reshipped ?

NIRVANA COMMENT: So sorry about the delay mate. It's obviously out of our hands - we're quite good at shipping fast, but we can't argue with volcanoes ;-) Hope you got your seeds in the meantime. (Posted on 4/27/10)

Ordered these along with Blue Mystic, Bubblicious and El Dorado. Looking forward to see these flowering because honestly around here good bud is hard to come by and Im new to this. Seeds all came pretty quick and Im glad I went with my gut instincts to order my first from here. Planted 2 of these along with 2 of the ED and 3 of each of the BM and BB. All have sprouted within a week so hopefully Ill be posting a review about them again the future. I read about people getting freebies? I didnt get any if I was supposed to but if not hey im just glad I got what I paid for and look forward to new strains in the future...got my eye on Full Moon...

NIRVANA COMMENT: Sorry, the freebies were a one-off thing back in December. (Posted on 4/22/10)

WENT IN THE GROUND ON GROUND HOG DAY ALREADY 42" I LIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST USA LOTS OF RAIN THIS YEAR AND REAL HAPPY AND WAITING FOR HARVESTGOING TO BE A LONG SUNNY SUMMER HERE (Posted on 4/6/10)

Ordered just five fem seeds over a year ago and been taking cuttings to conserve my seed for mishaps. I've used two seeds in a years time and have 100% germ rates so far. White Castle is truly AMAZING! Strong high and a good grower! Tons of resin and packs a punch, sort of a creeper! Take your time growing her and she will reward you greatly! Thanks Nirvana.

Just a side note: Noticed others didn't get their 10 FREE seeds with their order...I ordered a different variety in December 09' just to get the freebies and guess what? I never got the free seeds either! Although I can't complain about the product quality because it truly is superior. I do have to say the service did slip just a bit. Hopefully the next order I place that states I will free stuff will actually arrive with the freebies!

NIRVANA COMMENT: Whoops! We're ever so sorry. Please let Alice know your order number and that you didn't get freebies, and we'll see what we can do!

(Posted on 3/16/10)

I'm not here to bash nirvana...I know that u have wonderful genetics...your service is the best...I have 35 years experience dealing with cannabis...I have no germnation issue! I purchased 40 feminized seeds from you out of that there were a total of 6 seeds that where white very small and immature...I knew from experience that the seeds were dead...every seed germinated except the ones that I knew wouldnt....If thats how you guys do things thats that, but I believe that it may have been an isolated incident...If i were the seed selector I would have never included those in the customers pack..I did contact help desk, but I thought that an honest review was in order. (Posted on 3/15/10)

The service was great..Loved how fast my seeds arrived....Two of my white castle seeds are very small white and immature...very disappointed about that...No 10 mystery seed freebie for me either..from reading other reviews I was kinda looking forward to that.

NIRVANA COMMENT: Sorry - the mystery seeds were a limited offer (see under "News"). Please do contact Alice through the Help Desk about the non-germinating seeds though. (Posted on 3/14/10)

4 days shipping heck i almost expect a hand delivery when it gets here that quick .every question answered promtly too . alice is a peach and probably woefully under paid. all the beans germinated nicely so nirvana did there job and the rest is up to me , wish me luck it's my 1st grow (Posted on 3/13/10)

Was so-so. For some reason it auto-flowered, don't know if it was genetics, or mis-packaged but that was unexpected. Is pretty decent, tasty as hell, kinda wispy buds (Posted on 2/4/10)

Very stable and strong breed crack like a monster and grows like one too. This is an awesome medical strain we all swear by here and has a nice flavor and works well on deep pain and aids sleep and spasms too.

Alice you got another winner here in WC (Posted on 1/24/10)

I got the white castle a while back and was wondering if anybody knows how long it should take to veg. i have been vegging it since sept and it is today 10inches at the top. i have been using a 400watt bulb and been keeping it 12 inches away. also i am using a bubble system. plz help. you can contact me at eklund585@gmail.com

thanks (Posted on 12/3/09)

White Castle is a special strain! It's my new favorite and will be keeping it around for years to come. Seeds arrived very fast and had a 100% Germination rate. They grew up into very strong, hearty plants with very nice yields. I have a condition that causes constant chronic pain and White Castle is perfect medicine. It helps me like no other strain has and I've tried most medical strains. Nothing but great things to say about White Castle! Thank you so much Nirvana! (Posted on 10/3/09)
