Strain: Lowlife Great White Shark
Growth: I don't know what that means. Ebb & Flow? Veg under t5 fluorescents, bloom under 400w hps then later in the bloom 600w hps? Does that answer the question?
Nutes: Technaflora complete line though I am seriously questioning if Thrive Alive B-1 Red is anything but overpriced kelp with a placebo so it got cut out late into veg without any noticeable effect.
Yield: So far only 4 of the smallest plants have been harvested and dried but the yield is the worst I have ever had at *cough* ~4 grams per
. There are some much larger plants that will hopefully yield a proper amount for an autoflower however I believe I know why the yield has been so small for these plants compared to my previous attempts (average 1/2 oz per plant under t5 fluorescent throughout). This was my first real attempt at producing seeds and I did harvest the plants too soon resulting in immature seeds. I also didn't store them in a light proof container 
. I had terrible germination rates (nothing grew, it either didn't pop or sprouted and then just died) and as my stash ran low I made a desperate attempt to grow some damn cannabis. I literally tired to germinate a handful hoping a few would actually be viable. The germination rates were terrible but more germinated then my grow room could support the way I was growing them. I went from 6" net pots to 4" net pots so my two flood tray could accommodate all the plants. They were looking good but a family emergency (fun fact calling an ambulance costs ~$200 in the USA) called attention away from the plants for most of the vegetative period and early bloom when they were just starting to show. They seldom got water, had much more important crap on my mind then some plants. I think those factors greatly stunted their growth compared to previous attempts. I should also mention that I am currently stuck with water that is softened with salt so even with heavy weakly flushing there is a visible layer of salt deposits that can not be helping things along (RO is the next piece of equipment on the list). Well that was fun to admit on a forum full of very experienced growers 
. Moving on...
Bag Appeal: The buds have a visible coating of glistening trichomes, and are quite dense. That said autoflowering strains are about as far from commercially viable as you can get so the point is moot.
Smell: It smells sweet but the odor is not as penetrating as other strains I've smelled.
Taste: It has a light pleasant taste when used with my silver surfer vaporizer but I can't really put a word too it. Can't really taste anything through my bong but I've never really been able to "taste" cannabis when I smoke it.
The High: Straight to the head, I'm listening to music and I can't stop moving to it even as I sit here and type this. I'm euphoric, I feel totally at ease, this is great for my depression. I want to dance, I want ramble, I want to learn, this is far more like a sativa high then I expected. Ideas just seem to flow smoothly through my brain. You can probably tell I'm high on it right now. It's potent enough that one bowl from my cheap China bong is enough to get a very nice high. It's more potent then the other times I have grown it but those were bloomed under t5 fluorescent bulbs not an HID bulb.
Comments: I will update with some photos when I get around to taking some fuzzy photos with my crappy camera. When the larger plants are harvested and can be weighed dry I'll give some numbers for them. I'm sure I'll have to make some edits and corrections when I'm somewhat closer to sober
