Another notable version is Oregon Pinot Noir from Stoney Girl Gardens, bred among the grapes of a respected Pinot Noir vineyard in Oregon from Hawaiian Purple Kush and Pitbull genetics. The Mephisto version produces dense, frosty buds with a flower structure that's a perfect middle ground between its parent strains, featuring abundant trichome production. The strain is noted for its complex aroma journey, starting with intense chemical notes that develop into pleasant grape, candy, and liquorice flavors.

How do you grow Pinot Noir?
The Mephisto version has a cycle time of 65-70 days from sprout and is classified as F3 feminized autoflower seeds. Plants start compact with large fan leaves that grow bigger as the plant establishes, then can put on significant size during pre-flowering stretch. The strain naturally likes to bush out and can be as wide as it is tall, delivering a high flower-to-plant size ratio. Indoor cultivation is recommended for optimal control. Optimal indoor conditions include temperatures between 70-82°F and humidity of 45-55% during vegetative stage. Training methods like defoliation, leaf tucking, or LST can be beneficial, though gentle leaf tucking works well for less experienced growers. The Oregon version has different characteristics with faster flowering times of 38-42 days.
