Pennywise

Pennywise or Indica-dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 12% – 15% and CBD levels ranging from 12% – 15% (Targeted 1:1 ratio). Known for its Functional, Relaxing, Lucid, and Therapeutic profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Short to Medium (3–4 ft indoors; up to 6 ft outdoors) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; prefers steady feeding but is forgiving of minor errors.

This Indica-dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) is of the Genetype: Photoperiod. The Pennywise strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Pennywise in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) is 6.0 – 7.0 and 5.5 – 6.5 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Pennywise needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°C – 29°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 45% – 60%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica-dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Pennywise needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Pennywise is 18/6 or 24/0 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Pennywise will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 68°F – 80°F (20°C – 27°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% is achieved, the Indica-dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Photoperiod is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Pennywise is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; responds well to topping (usually once) and LST.

The most exciting phase, when growing Photoperiod is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Pennywise will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) (Slightly cooler helps colors) and 30% – 40% (To prevent bud rot in dense flowers) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Pennywise is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica-dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Sturdy, bushy, and fast-flowering with 4 distinct phenotypes

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Field Notes
Phenotype Variability: You may encounter four different expressions ranging from coffee and earth notes to sweet bubblegum and lemon.

The "Stretch": Unlike many sativas, Pennywise has a limited stretch once flipped to flower. It is ideal for small grow tents or vertical spaces.

Resilience: It is notably hardy against common pests and diseases, making it a top-tier choice for beginners wanting to venture into CBD-rich cultivation.

The Finish: Most plants wrap up flowering in 60–67 days.
