I was offered a Patupi by someone here, is that a cultivar of GM or something totally different? It's supposed to be very short cycle.
You are correct that the Patupi has a very short cycle, about 35-42 days, and probably is much better option than a Veinte Cohol. Your environmental conditions are going to reduce the size of the fruit and the VC has a small fruit to begin with, so if it does produce fruit you should only expect a few grams. The Patupi has a large 8" fruit to start with so if it does produce fruit they should still be reasonably large. You should be cautious when purchasing a Patupi or really any cultivar, that it is what they're calling it. I have an photo album titled Patupi that will give you info on what the plant should look like. If your sale falls through, pm me and I'll add your name to the waiting list.
