Beginner growExpert / not grown
McKennaii is a little pickier about conditions than the beginner strains, but nothing exotic.
Named after Terence McKenna, this strain is reputed to be among the stronger cubensis varieties, with a more visual, philosophical character. Wavy caps, slightly pickier about conditions.
🛟 Safety: Above-average potency for a cubensis — dose more conservatively than with Golden Teacher or B+.
