First Lady is a highly resinous all-indica strain typically grown
indoors with lights. She is excellent in a SOG setup, either in
her natural shape or when pruned to 2-4 stems. First Lady’s
growth is compact and vigorous, with thick sturdy stems, broad
leaves, and a strong symmetry that helps the buds soak up
plenty of light. Branches tend to push up and out; lower lateral
branches should be pruned away if they start to compete for
space. This indica enjoys generous nutrient feedings in the
second half of flowering—up to the full dose recommended by
the manufacturer. First Lady finishes indoors in an average of
45-50 days and outdoors by early October.
The buds are classic Afghani—solid clusters at every bract
and internode that form tight round nuggets crowning a collar
of fat, dark green leaves. Plants exposed to cool breezes have a
tendency to develop purple tones in the calyxes and even more
pronounced in the foliage. Calyxes at the apex of terminal buds
may start to build on top of each other after the lower part of
the plant is mature, leading to multi-peaked tops. The most
weight is produced on the unpruned main stem or on topped
stems that have been properly vegetated.
The overall shape of the plant is more spruce than conifer; it
has a central column of bud as its main feature rather than a
more umbrella-like canopy. Like many indicas, the First Lady
increases 50-100% from its vegetative height during flowering.
Its size is manageable in an indoor setup, and can be controlled
in a range from a minimal 1¼ feet (40 cm) to a max 4.3 feet
(130 cm) when vegged for 4-6 weeks. When allowed to
vegetate to a larger size, this plant averages 100 grams per
plant indoors.
First Lady is a naturally tough robust plant with a healthy
resilience to pests or other inhospitable garden conditions. This
robustness combined with the fast finish makes it satisfying for
beginners. If irrigated well, she can withstand heat, and stress
from fluctuations in temperature from day to night; however,
this Afghani native appreciates a dry atmosphere, especially in
the later part of flowering. The easiest mistake with this variety
might be overwatering or creating an overly humid
atmosphere. First Lady’s resilient genetics also make her a
good candidate for cloning.
First Lady’s flavor is spicy with some acridity and earthiness,
and a gentle honey undertone. The immediate stoney hit
segues into a long lasting body-centered buzz. This warm,
happy high encourages an affinity and contentment with one’s
surroundings and can greatly enhance sensual pleasures,
whether they be food, music or physical contact. While
functional, this high is better for lounging on a weekend than
motivating oneself to get up and out. It is a good appetite
stimulator and muscle relaxer and might be good for a camping
weekend.
