I had 3 Deep Purple plants in the tent a few months back that were the last to get flowered amidst a bunch of other projects and were kind of neglected and left to do their thing. Only have a couple pictures of mid-flower and took another of some finished buds but i want to write a short review since i found 0 grow info on these prior to growing them.
First pheno leaned to the Blueberry side of things, smelled exactly like what is known/sold as Black Diamond where i'm from and has the most balanced high of the three, a nice anytime kind of buzz, puts a smile on your face. Bud structure is tight but looks more like a hybrid. The other two phenos leaned to the Purple Kush side of things, one had very little smell to it in flower and is the same post-cure, earthy but not pungent in any way. Nugs are very dense and this one makes me eat endlessly, like a good pink or bubba would do. Thought it would be subpar but the smoke is strong and couch type stuff. Last one was the biggest yielder and one i kind of hope i kept but whatever, super gassy, dense flowers, smelled fantastic in flower and same post-cure. Very sticky buds, good indica stone but not a fridge-goblin like the 2nd pheno.
They were done between 8-9 weeks, the PK leaning ones took a bit longer. I had no expectations for this cross but turned out better than i expected for plants that were neglected. One thing that sucked was the trimming, the fan/bud ratio wasn't great. I would suggest lolipopping to avoid too much small buds. Won't rush to pop the rest of the pack as my tents are already full with other stuff but i like what i found so far. My guess is it's a nice cross if you're into pheno hunting as all 3 were pretty different.
