They'll stress herm.

For indoor growing of PS, why do you have to gradually turn down the hours of light? If not, what happens?

She freaks out. I made that mistake with her.
Definitely follow the gradual light reduction with this one or you’ll have nanners like mad.

I've made that mistake too, it wasn't pretty....

Ok. Thanks for the info. I have a South American landrace that i switched from 18/6 to 12/12. One of the plants hermes, so removed it. Other is doing ok. Just put the PS into paper towel last night. Excited to grow it. Hope i get the colors, and the other skunk pheno.

Herms. But even outside there were herms that must've been sterile because there were way more nanners than seeds. I might've gotten 2 or 3 seeds from 4 plants but each bud had 4 or 5 nanners.

So I've been reading this thread for a few days now, I finally made an account ... Oh man I can't wait to get home from work and take pics of my outdoor purple satelite grown in southeast Massachusetts! In this picture the PS is the tall one in the back middle. This is from 2 weeks ago... It's gotten soo purple since. Today is the first day it's rained in my area since like mid August so the pics won't be as flashy as if the sun were shining right on her. With her is 2 Princess Haze, Shaman, Bubba Island Kush, Strawberry Cough, and Super Shining Silver Haze, and 2 Puck Yes. The PS is probably 9.5 feet counting the milk crate, so 8.5 feet tall.

Can't wait to see either? Do they have the colored pistils. My PS are about ready to flip to flower (indoor). They are regs, they all have the dark purple stalks from early on. Hoping bthey get the colored pistils too.

How long do you gradually reduce light?

I run mine outdoors only now, I never re attempted an indoor run with a gradual light schedule after I destroyed my first attempt. There’s notes somewhere in this thread about it, sorry I don’t have a link to the right post#.

Here are 3 Purple satellite which I cut down 2 days ago. I am at 49 N. We had a cold spring and and partial summer. The plants are tough and took a lot of abuse but in the end I wound up with just over 4lbs wet with 3 plants. Very nice smell, to me it was a candy smell but what do I know. The plants were right around 8 feet and I plant going over 8. I put these out on May 29th. The plants to the left are herijuana.

Hello PS farmers. I wanted to finish this off with a few pics and a early smoke report.

We had a big storm come through two weeks ago. Rained nonstop for 36hrs then off and on for another 12 hrs. I couldn't get out to the site for 4 days after the storm. I posted a before and after photos and you can see the carnage. High winds and rain blowing on fully ripe flowers equals branch breakage.

True to this strains guerrilla strengths anything not laying directly on the ground was still good.

Here is one of the PS girls laying on the ground and she has plenty of good bud left to harvest. View attachment 18759235

Look at how beautiful these flowers are. Some stem and root porn also.

I lost over 50% but there is plenty here to make some nice hash, which was always the plan. I will not use moldy buds to make hash. Their is no truth in the the old adage, "mold to gold" . Its actually, "garbage in garbage out".

That's a 6"X8" tarp and at the end it was full enough that it was hard to close.

WOW, like a redwood

PS smoke report

I like to start off by saying this an early smoke report. I have only smoked 2 joints of PS and they were just done drying. Also this is kind of hard for me because this was really my first true sativa. When you always associate being stoned with that couch lock feeling its hard to really define the potency of this strain.

Plant Structure: First the plant structure is very nice. Sturdy branches and open structure. I give it an "A" on structure
Yield: My plants were transplanted by the first week of June. They were 7 ft and taller. I am guessing that I could have pulled 1/2 elbow off of the larger plants each.
Ease of grow: Dude, I have already said it many times but its worth repeating this is an A++ guerrilla strain.
Flower structure: Nice large colas, spear like in shape. A trimmers nightmare on this one. No way to trim all those small sugar leaves. ( When you are making hash it doesn't matter)
Smell: The cherry/chem smell turns mostly chem after drying. It may change with time .
Taste: It was a smooth smoke no coughing with large hits. No noticeable taste in the two joints I had. I pulled each joint from a separate plant.
Potency: Its weird and nice to smoke weed that doesn't make you tired/couch lock. There is no speedy or anxious feeling that is sometimes associated with sativas. I could smoke a large joint without any anxious feeling. My wife looked at me and said, "You're stoned". Again hard to put a number on it because I am not fluent in "sativa speak". What I will say is I think the hash will be very nice.

I would recommend this strain to any guerrilla grower. It has all the traits you are looking for. Good structure, A++ pest and disease resistance, heavy yielder.

Sativas has that reaction from my wife too

Here are some shots of Purple Satellite f2’s:
The offspring were fairly similar in vegetative growth as well floral structure.

Both plants exhibit long, pointed colas.

[Highboy71]

The leaves were beautiful, super long!

 

[Highboy71]

Sorry about the excessive posts, I’ve been unable to add multiple pictures in a single one.
The floral structure is very “foxtail “ on both females. The main difference came later in flower, one was far more purple.

 

[Highboy71]

For comparison here is the “green “ one:

The more purple one smells slightly fruitier and the green more piney.

 

[Highboy71]

Both were harvested mid October. I’m in north west Oregon around the 45th parallel. They are curing now, but I’ve been taste testing the last couple of weeks. Much like the original f1 mother, longer curing really affects the high!

Here’s another shot of the greener one.
I also popped some Bangi haze x purple satellite hybrids made with the same male pollen photo below:

The flavor and aroma of the hybrid is outrageous, exhibiting traits from both gene pools.
