My only experience with Phalaris was P.Aquaticus, which grew readily and with little maintenance in a 4 foot wading pool filled with dirt on the roof of our loft building. Phalaris is very hardy. If you look online hard enough you may find anecdotes about optimizing their alkaloid content- to date this is still a new science.

The batch we grew produced 5- methoxy DMT, which is great stuff but produces no visuals. If I'd known that ahead of time we probably would have tried a different strain. The aya I made from it was extremely potent, very challenging, had to chant the whole time to keep myself from exploding. Turned on the lights right after the peak... and not even a shimmer in terms of OEVs. No CEVs at all except for an "oxygen gauge" I threw together while I was chanting and trying to find the comfort zone of exactly the right amount of oxygen deprivation (like I said, it was a crazy trip). Definitely a steep uphill climb.

What I liked the Aquaticus for the most was simply rolling joints of it... Useless while straight, but on 300ug or more of LSD, a toke of this stuff gave you a blink of deep hyperspace, along with a sense of atemporal connectivity to all other DMT users, past present and future.

Anyway: Phalaris is great stuff, easy to grow, totally legal... And kind of unpredictable.
