How to grow Mendocino Purple Kush
Taste
Seb's take
Purple Mendocino crossed with Purple Kush, and vigorous enough outdoors to clear two to three metres given the chance. High in THC, with an indoor yield around 450 grams a square metre over a compact eight-to-nine-week flower. She is unambiguous about overfeeding — the plant will tell you immediately, and not kindly.
Where it comes from
Purple Mendocino crossed with Purple Kush — the name is no accident, and neither is the colour. Medical Seeds keep this one a 60 percent indica with a high THC content and a vigorous constitution, particularly outdoors, where she is more than happy to make herself known. A straightforward, purple-blooded pairing that grows with real appetite given the room.
Nose & flavour
The record leaves the nose unstated, so I will not manufacture one. What it stresses instead is her vigour and her four distinct phenotypes — a plant with some variation built into her, and plenty of growth to go with it. Take the aroma on her own terms rather than mine.
The high
No effect notes are logged, so I will read from the genetics rather than invent a feeling: a 60 percent indica marked high in THC, which points to a weighty, settled experience. I will not claim past what the record gives. Expect the heft the lineage promises, and gauge the rest yourself.
Growing it
Vigorous, and outdoors emphatically so — she can clear two to three metres given the chance, and stands 200 to 300cm on the record. Indoors she vegetates for about two weeks before a flowering period of eight to nine weeks, logged at 56 to 63 days, yielding around 450 g/m². Outdoors she can reach 600g per plant, ready in early October, and takes well to a SCRoG. She is unambiguous about overfeeding — the plant will tell you immediately, and not kindly.
