Hello all,
Johnn Purple Seed reporting for duty. My mission is to create the "next big purple strain," from seed, of course. You see, where I'm from (NorCal), everybody wants them grapes. We've got Purple Kush, Purple Erkel, Purple Elephant, Grand Daddy Purple, Grape Ape, the list goes on. People here appreciate dank of all colors, but for some reason, they all jock the purple bud.
For genetics, I chose the strain Purple #1 from Dutch Passion because the description says up to 90% of the plants turn purple. Most of the other strains only said 50%. I'm sold!
I purchased a five pack of feminized seeds from Dr. Chronic. Payment was made with an All Access Visa gift card in order to remain anonymous. Even though I have my club card, receiving seeds through the mail is still an iffy matter. Better safe than sorry.
I received the seeds on the fifth business day. I promptly chose the finest looking seed (they were all fine, in fact) and put it in a cup of distilled water overnight. As you can see, this seed was VERY viable. The tap root has already begun busting out of it's shell and I didn't even get a chance to put it in soil yet!
I filled a small pot with EB Stone Organics Seed Starter Mix (aka We B Stoned Organics). According to the label, it has Canadian sphagnum peat moss, perlite, dolomite lime and gypsum -- a pretty solid mixture.
I gave the pot a good watering and placed the seed, pointy side down about 1/4" deep in the center of it and covered it up with soil.
I let the seed sit in darkness for 6 hours, then finally put it under my light (a 26w CFL). Two and a half days later, we have a sprout.
There you have it, folks. Hopefully, with all of your help, this grow will be a success and this thread will be the fabled beginning of another legendary Norther California purple strain.
I plan to post regular updates with photos documenting my quest (daily even, if the mods allow). You all will be my guides as I undertake this mission to create the next amazing purple strain!
Also, if she is worthy, I plan to donate cuttings to all the local dispensaries as well as fellow Prop 215 patients. Hell, I may even plant a few in some random spots, like a true Johnny Purple Seed!
