Here is my ORA PB that's starting to color up. I received it 5 months ago as a 1" brownie from what I think is a reputable source.

Taken directly under 250W Radium with Ice Cap ballast. Getting 500+ PAR.

You guys think it's legit?

Along with starting to look better, lately it's starting to acclerate in growth.

It's hard to see the subtle color pattern detail in real life, but when seen under this macro lens, I can see why people think it's a cool piece. I will take a blue LED pic at some point.

Here is what it looks like when I turn the color balance more toward blue:

This has been an absurdly slow grower for me

One year progression

Kinda sped up a bit. I’ve cut probably 10 frags the size of the original in the first pic in the last 10 months and this is how it looks today. Trimming it really encouraged its growth
