How to grow Purple Dawg Mass
Taste
Seb's take
The most prized phenotype here has earned an indelicate nickname among growers - a foul, decaying nose that gives way, against all expectation, to heavy diesel, burnt caramel and sweet florals. Grape and sour diesel run underneath on the cleaner phenotypes, over dense, aquamarine buds marbled with purple. It also tests highest in THC, which rather proves that first impressions can mislead.
Where it comes from
Three lineages collide here: Monster Mass for the bulk, Lavender for the perfume, and Purple Chemdawg for the fuel and the colour. Critical Mass Collective describe the buds as densely saturated neon-green and aquamarine, marbled with purple, an unusual palette, and a sign of how much the Chemdawg and Lavender lines pull against the Mass foundation. A plant assembled for weight, flavour and spectacle in roughly equal measure.
Nose & flavour
There is no single nose here but several, depending on the phenotype. One runs to acrid lemon polish and marker pen; another to sweet, Kushy wood and spice. The most prized, and the one that tests highest, announces itself with a foul, decaying gas before giving way, against all expectation, to heavy diesel, cassis and burnt caramel over sweet florals. Sugary grape and sour diesel run beneath them all. Charming, in its own confrontational way.
The high
The record lists no effect profile, so I'll not put words in its mouth. What it does record is that the prized phenotype tests highest in THC of the lot, quoted at 25%, which is warning enough. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark, and let the plant introduce itself in its own time.
Growing it
Sixty-five days in flower, returning a heavy 650 g/m². Height is not recorded, so I'll leave it be. Around 25% THC in the strongest phenotype, a very potent plant by any reckoning. Feminized, so no males to sort. Expect phenotype variation given the three-way cross; select for the nose you can live with, since they differ considerably from one another.
