So sad to have seen and then missed the Zacatecas. Keeping eyes on those for sure.
Info from vermontman @ seed finder
Purple Satellite outdoors finishing at latitude 42 north, from early to late Sept making Purple Satellite the earliest pure Sativa in its class for the most northern gardens.
Outdoors she is very mold resistant if you mind your nutrients starting early flower.
Purple Satellite is not prone to hermaphrodite but,
Indoors Purple Satellite takes special skills to flower properly. She does best under 360W per three square feet of red heavy LED grow lights at a flowering initiation time of 14/10 light cycle or the first several weeks. Then graduating down to 13/11 for a few weeks then down to 12/12 to finish. This comes from the Nepali side o the strain being adapted to growing in the most northern regions of Denmark where the summer day length is very long.
Purple Satellite also can be grown outdoors and brought indoors during mid flower after stretch for also exquisite results. Again under red heavy LED grow light at 13/11 for two weeks and then 12/12 to finish.LED brings on the most intense purple coloring out in the buds.
360w for 3sq ft? 120w per sq ft? I wonder if there is typo.
Hello gentlemen.Something to think about when growing Purple Satellite Indoors.....
Vermontman on another forum~
Hello gentleman and ladies, yes you need to graduate the lights down very slowly, Satellite was adapted to flower outdoors very early at latitude 42 degrees . I have never seen her herm outdoors under natural light graduation but will almost always put out male flowers on the tips of the buds which is a clear indicator that she is stressed from to abrupt of a light change. Fortunately being on the tips they can be plucked out with tweezers. There is cultural info on Seed Finder on light graduation regime for indoors. Many people have had great luck following those guidelines, but she was truly bred and promoted as an outdoor cultivar.

My Purple Satellite crosses are up on Seedbay under Blazing Cultivars, in case you guys wanna check em out.
I used a nice early purple male and hit some earlier finishers in order to be able to finish a bit earlier on northern latitudes (50+)... I think these crosses will perform wel, early finish and good mold resistance with some crazy terps! I will be running many of them this year outdoors! Every pack comes with a Purple Satellite f2 freebie pack!
Peace!
