I am thrilled to be growing this strain! My first indoor photoperiod. 3/3 germinated.
Several enhancements to the grow effort this go around including but not limited to: small and clear orchid pots with coco perlite 70/30 blend and gh nutes and ph balancing to ~6.1 and spiderfamer 2000. I’m ready to grow some effin' dank!
Another exciting experiment is adding a neodymium magnet north pole oriented up - that’s the circle metal disc thing. Big shout out to @occultgreen420 - good sir your kickass journals on this subject of magnets inspired me to try one out. Thank you 🙏🏻 😃

To recap my new approach on this grow - coco/pearlite (70/30) in orchid pots for max drainage, PHing water, added mycos, added magnet (north side up) to 1 of the 2 ladies (a just-for-fun experiment).
Last grow, I made the mistake of potting-up too early. So I am doing my best to resist temptation for now. I think they will get another week in the small pots then transfer then recovery week then flip to flower. That's my tentative plan, anyways.
Happy growing everyone! Stay safe out there.
I potted up on day 20; had to do it they are thirsty girls. I think it was a good transplant, but the plants will inform me in a few days re the outcome.
Following the transplant last week (on day 20) into the pre-soaked 3gals, I wanted to give the girls a chance to dry out. By day 26 the medium was finally close enough to dry and so we fed, adding some bloom nutes to help transition to flower--I plan to flip to 12/12 soon.
I was reviewing my journals and got paranoid about the lime green hue to all these photos (nitrogen deficiency, really?) -- took them out and quickly realized it's just distortion from photos under grow lights. Apparently the SF2000 not good for photos. Still it's much better than blurple was. But yea, the girls are much darker than they appear under the current lights; sorry about that I'll be taking photos in the dark again starting next week . . .

Happy with the veg vigor! A little tip burn but I find it reassuring that I’m in the ballpark. We are sailing ahead - tomorrow marks the change to 12/12.
A little preflower stretching methinks. Spotted first calyxes towards end of this week. Can’t wait to see what comes next! I’m intentionally not defoliating (for now at least) they have good airflow and I wanna see what they can do with the extra horsepower from keeping more fan leaves.
Great quote by Mike Tyson (upon confirming he smoked weed right before fighting Roy Jones Jr last week):
"Listen, I can't stop smoking . . . I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke, I'm sorry. I'm a smoker . . . I smoke everyday. I never stopped smoking."
Mike Tyson = my kindred spirit.
Nice little popcorns everywhere. Intentionally not defoliating much still, trying to harness the POWER 💥 of the extra fan leaves but we’ll see if it pays off. They seem happy so I’m happy 😊
Everything’s coming along nicely from what I can tell. A bit of tip burn but as mentioned earlier I find it reassuring that I’m at least in the ballpark and there’s no nute lockout.
Have a great week everyone! You are awesome.
Merry Christmas everyone!

This poem stirred my soul this morning. I hope it does the same for you, too. Growers love to you all.
Sorry for the weak pics -- these were taken with grow light on so color slightly distorted. But they are definitely senescing. I checked both ladies very closely last night for any mold/insects and they are clean. Their former roommate, Green Poison (Sweet Seeds), looked like she was senescing too but turns out it was the start of budrot *facepalm*. So anyway that roomy has been kicked out of the tent and a harvest was salvaged, but I was concerned about possible residual issues for these two lovely peyote forums. So far so good 👍 nothing looks amiss. I'll be back next week with better pics, stay tuned.
Ended up with some beautiful sparkly buds. Smell is pungent by any standards. Bud structure was meh, and I found 10+ fully matured seeds in harvest (I didn't spot intersex traits though, curious....). Overall this is one of my favorites, will grow again.
@Esoteric_growing, they're on day 106 from seed and day 71 of flower. Beeder's estimate of 56-65 days of flowering required. But I don't have them in an "ideal environment" (too cold, despite heater and light and dehumidifier - per my pulse grow monitor I'm averaging ~1.0 VPD, whereas ~1.5 would be "ideal"). They seem like they're getting close. Maybe another week or two (at most) left is what I was thinking? I'll be adding an another 200w light to this tent next week. I'm very excited to harvest these.
