Elevator Man said:

Does anyone know the lineage on PT? It looks very familar to me, having grown a few Flos, etc. Are there any 'blue' genes in there?

This plant has been selectively cultivated and bred by Felix of Owl Productions since 1988. He acquired the parental stock back then from some old Swiss German ladies in a mountain village that had grown it in their gardens for decades decoratively (so they say). Felix was amazed at the seeds performance. A very early strain in that all are finished by the middle of September. The plants all exhibit extremely purple branches with green/purple buds. It is the most acclimatized Swiss strain that Breeder Steve ran into, "fantastic commercial outdoor" he says. It is a hardy plant that has minimal ...continued

I received my Purpurea Ticinesis seeds via a friend direct from the breeder. Thanks ! I grew them at 49 N in the Eastern Europe.

Planted 4 seeds, got 100% germination rate. Plants were moved to the ground in 15 May. Grew quite vigoriously even in poor medium. Whole stems were purple even in veg.

Flowering has started in the second week of August. Out of 4 seeds I got 2 females, one mutant and one male. The smell wasn't very strong, They smelt very sweet and fruity.

I harvested my plants about 15 September. Dried in paper bags and then cured in jars.

The smell of ready-to-smoke buds is very nice. Smells more hashy than fruity.
Bag appeal is incredible. Nugs are very dense and totally purple. They are so frosty ! Full of trichomes.
Potency is very good. After about 3 or 4 puffs you're in the other world. Somewhat couchlocky. I like it very much.

I'll definately grow it in next season.

I was lucky to received some seeds directly from Switzerland, from a friend of Felix. Some nice little dark seeds. 100% germination rate.

The plants were began indoor in late march with maximum care due to rarity. The plants stems grown deep purple from beginning to end. The leaves and buds became purple only in late flowering time. The weather wasn't cold, but the buds take a nice purple colour in September.

The shape is mostly Sativa, mostly like a Nepalese. Tall will some nice golf ball buds in the long of the stems. I had some mutants, heavy leaves distortions. I guess the seeds were olds, or maybe it’s a natural variation of the strain. In this case, I guess it came from Purple Oregon Thai like in Blue Satellite… but it’s a long story… Purpurea Ticinencis seems to look like very much Flo from DJ Short…

The plants finish in time. mid September in 45 latitude. Like in south Switzerland Alps, or north Italian Alps climate… This strain will finish later in northern latitudes, but there was absolutely no sign of mold.

The smell is very surprising… Between mushroom, berry and chocolate. It's the first time i have a chocolate (cookie) smelling plant !

The resin production is medium (in comparison with actual resinous stuff) , like the yield. But enough for a reasonable smoker.

The potency is good. If you don’t need an heavy THC Killer, Purpurea Ticinencis is nice for all situations. Nice balanced. From a day time light use, to an heavy one, before going to sleep without difficulties. Purpurea produce a very nice hash.

Purpurera Ticinencis… Swiss Southern Purple… is a nice plant. I’ll grow it again. I think it’s a nice strain for outdoor breeders, due to performances, and rusticity.
