Messed around with a couple of Vintner's Moonshine inside and flowered a clone in a bucket last year to see how it liked the outside. Pretty little plant and has decent smells and effect.
Neither the indoor or outdoor plant(s) tested were big, by design. Mine seemed to be slow veggers, indica dominant but not "oh my god" rock hard buds, more squishy and fragrant. Maybe medium on the bag appeal , but again, decent grapey etc. smells per seed breeders description.
Since they were only being tested they never got the royal treatment and up potted to a large container, so that may have been a factor in their smallish size.
Thinking of trying a clone in a 17 gallon container outdoors in the northeast this year and maybe pollinating a lower branch with some reversed MOB, cuz some things just beg to be done... The little one outside purpled up nice last year.
This is kinda freaky, but ditto to damn near everything you said. Right down to the fact that I made some MOB x Vintners Moonshine. I plan on giving them a go outdoor this year. I only did a small sample run indoors of the cross, but the berry terps carried through strong and all showed some purple of varying degrees in the flowers.
Hermaphroditism in cannabis is primarily an indoor concern, it rarely happens outdoor. I've been growing outdoor for over a two decades and have only once had a hermaphrodite and it was some random bag seed. The choices you listed sound great to me, the pure Gooey has been on my to do list for a couple of years now, if you do end up growing I'd be interested to hear how it turns out for you.
I've never grown a straight equatorial sativa outside though, which I've heard has a higher incidence of hermies.
Grand poohbah is half Purple mayhem, I grew Moon shadow which is half Purple mayhem, it was a fantastic strain, also very purple.Got these as freebies from JBC, Grand Poobah from Norstar, week 3, showing some purple and some frost.
Nice, I got a few other things from Norstar, this is the first to be popped, I see you're a fan of AKBB as well, Skunk Quabbage x Mimosa is in the next round.Grand poohbah is half Purple mayhem, I grew Moon shadow which is half Purple mayhem, it was a fantasti,c strain, also very purple.
Good luck
Agreed on the packaging, including freebies and such I've got Banana Sap, Bubba Fresh, Instant Karma, Flaming Orange, Zest Og and the Grand Poobah, so far.I loved AKBB's Black Domina/PacificNorthwest Hashplant x Super Skunk, I would absolutely do that one again. Haven't tried Skunk Quabbage x Mimosa, but Skunk Quabbage is on my to-do list.
As I mentioned, I really liked the Moon shadow strain from Norstar, great quality, and huge producer. I liked Norstar's packaging, very descriptive and I appreciated that the seeds came in a glass vial rather than a little baggie like some breeders do.
What other Norstar strains did you get?
Update, the Solar Winds definitely going to have purple buds. Smells amazing and sweet with a purple smell.I have a Solar Winds (Royal Phoenix X Purple Mayhem) growing right now. Its very different looking from my Vortex and Querkle by Subcool. Darker green, very different structure. So far i'm enjoying its purple smell, its only a week and change into flower.
