Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Lemon Pie Auto in my small urban grow tent and was blown away by how fast and trouble-free it was. At just 85 cm (33.5 in), it fit perfectly under my 200W LED. I used the Advanced Hidtoponics Staters Kit and added Natural Powers Root Stimulator at transplant—it made a noticeable difference in root mass. By week 8, the trichomes were milky-white and the room smelled like fresh lemon pie. I harvested 520 g/m² of dense, sticky buds. The high was perfectly balanced: creative enough to write, relaxed enough to unwind. For a strain this easy, the quality is next-level. I’ve already ordered more seeds for my next round.
