Hello everyone:
Since this is an introduction, I'll start with how I found Phenohunter.org.
Fair Warning: I can tend towards writing TLDR posts, but I try to jazz them up with visuals when possible.
Last night at about 0300, I was online searching for a breeder whose inventory mentioned their creations were suitable for insomnia.
That's when I stumbled upon Dino Party Chucks seeds. I think it was on Great Lakes Genetics where I first saw Dinos mentioned.
I searched for reviews on other seed-related sites, and I looked for grow-journal mentions on Grow Diaries, but I couldn't find anything substantial.
However, I did see countless references to this website.
After that, I ordered 3 strains directly from Dino Party
I went with 3 of his cultivars:
• Nyx; Bringer of Sleep and Death
Key Words: "Heavy hitting eye blistering brain 'blendering' leg locking day ender."
• Orion
Key Words: "Great bedtime smoke"
• MoomooDoodoo
Key Words: "Smoke is incredibly potent, some real sit down and shut up bud."
As for me, I'm a retired guy who just turned 60.
I was one of those early teens in the 70s (Texas Gulf Coast) who was buying weed for $7.00/oz. And felt the earth move when prices jumped all at once to $15.
New York Times (1976) - Price of Marijuana Soars as Its Use Increases Among the Nation's Affluent
As I got older, I drifted away from pot and ultimately ended up in the Navy, where I was clean and green for 9 years.
After 2000, when I came back to Texas, I tried again but almost always got some form of anxiety.
FFWD to 2021, now living in Illinois, I wanted to give it another go and got my Cannabis Medical Card. Since then, I have had a perpetual garden growing for more than 2 years.
I'm still not an "automatic" partaker, but I always search for my Unicorn strain.
Now, where I do get true joy is growing weed and photographing it. I'll include a few samples later in the post.
Over time, I've morphed these two loves into being a tester for breeders (as with growing my own). I've grown a handful of strains for Rasta Jeff at Irie Genetics.
When I first started testing, there were a few hoops to go through to become a tester, but my background in journalism and photography helped me join others testing for him.
Most recently, I was lurking on his Discord when he came on and asked if anyone would be interested in testing his P91 x Jack the Ripper (Regs).
I was about 4 weeks from harvest on another grow, so I raised my hand.
Full disclosure: I am a total fanboy of RJ's cultivars. But I am not a paid reviewer, so when I say he creates unique and robust plants, he does.
I am also testing for Brothers Grimm. Having said that, anyone can be a "tester" for BG ... buy their tester seeds, and 'voilà' you are a "tester."
For the budget-minded Brothers Grimm's testers are a heck of a deal at about $25 for 9 Fem seeds. They were 50% off for November.

The left side and back center are the Irie Genetic testers. They are frost monsters.
Right rear is the tester I mentioned, called Genius Juice. Huge colas.
The front right is a Brothers Grimm classic, Cinderella 99, but from Mr. Soul's feminized version.
Here are a few of today's photos of the P91 x Jack the Ripper (Reg)
I post these to the Irie Discord, Tester section as part of my testing obligation.

That's enough for now.
