Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Look, I've grown hundreds of strains, but American Pie Auto stands out for its sheer reliability. I ran it in a 60x60x120 cm tent with a 315W LEC, 18/6 light, and a simple coco-coir mix. Planted five seeds directly in 20L pots. Zero issues with pests or stretch. The smell during flowering was a perfect mix of sweet citrus and incense—strong, but not unbearable. I used a carbon filter just in case. Harvested at day 68; the buds were rock-hard, dripping in trichomes. After a two-week cure, the flavor was incredible—like candied lemon peel. The high? Pure, uplifting euphoria. It’s my go-to for creative work or a chill session with friends. My pro tip: don't top it. Let the main cola dominate, and you'll be rewarded with a monster bud.
