Where from? And what is your culture?

 

[tnyr5]

This one came from Tarzane. Hot summer with zero water, begin ramping up water around late October when temps start to drop. Constantly moist but not soaking during vegetative growth. Water with RO, ferts every second watering. Winter night temps 48 to 50°F, days around 60. When you start to see the spike, you can keep it cold to slow it down and time it with a show, or take it to your warm growing space to speed it up. Blooming will occur 3-4 weeks after warming it up. Keep wet until flowering is done, then start slacking off water until the foliage dies. Then repeat the cycle.
