How to grow Purple Haze 1
Taste
Seb's take
Purple Haze #1 wears dark purple and crystal like a uniform, with reddish-brown hairs against green leaves. Grape sits under a Thai-strain sharpness on the exhale, and the high lands relaxed, tingly and sleepy rather than the clear-headed spark the name suggests. Seventy days to flower, and no shortage of frost for the wait.
Where it comes from
No parentage is recorded for Positronics' take on the name, so I'll not fabricate one. What the record does establish is a Sativa-dominant plant of considerable beauty: she wears a very dark purple with reddish-brown hairs against green leaves, the whole lightly frosted in crystal. A striking specimen, wearing her colour and her resin like a uniform, whatever the pedigree behind her.
Nose & flavour
Grape leads the nose, with the buds giving off something closer to fresh-cut grass and the stems a whisper of peppermint. On the exhale the record likens her to a high-quality Thai, that clean, sharp sativa sweetness. Green and bright rather than heavy or sweet.
The high
The record pulls in two directions: the listed effect is relaxed, tingly and eventually sleepy, while the description promises something clear-headed, spacey and energised. Somewhere between the two, most likely, a bright sativa opening that mellows into a body-heavy close. At around 22% THC, either way, it does not want for strength.
Growing it
Seventy to seventy-seven days in flower, a slow, patient turn, as the sativa lineage demands. Yields are quoted at 400 g/m², with the description narrowing it to 350 to 400. Around 22% THC and just 0.2% CBD. Height is not recorded, so I'll leave it unsaid; expect the stretch that comes with a long-flowering Sativa, and reward the wait with a plant frosted head to toe.
