Hey Tex!!!Looks killer Neiko. That bubblegum fruity aroma is exactly how mine was last year. I should definitely grow this one again.
Hello @bonghopper!Excuse the old camera, and pics from 2 weeks ago:
Pic 1. Purple Satellite x UEL, pushing 8ft, more vigorous than Mountan Gold. Two out of 4 have started rapid flowering since, earlier than UEL! Aromas from parent PS coming through. Male cut is starting flower too.
PIc 2. Mountain Gold , not too much sign yet.. hopefully there'll be enough flowers to make a cross with that male. Not as septoria resistant as PS, I wonder if thats from the Hawaiian side?
Neiko, outfckngstanding!!It's hard to believe the growth on the beast. This is day 28 from flip. The smell is so intoxicating. It's got a floral bubble gum thing going on. Just incredible!

Hello @Peace!Purple Satellite in the garden at 43 N. Moving along very quickly and handling the rain/ high humidity very well. First 3 pics are the same plant, the first one is 16 days prior to the other two. Last one is a different PS plant.

smells like a fresh snoot of really clean coke from many days gone by and which I haven't done in decades, but the memory is still there.
Hey man. Yeah the pink pistils really make the plant look nice. For nutrients it had about 1-2" of composted beef cattle manure applied last fall. Then I put about 8 cups of charcoal in a 3.5' radius around where each plant would be. I did this in March with charcoal I was creating from boiling maple syrup. I worked that all in with tillage in the beginning of June, should have worked in the manure last fall ideally. Then I put some corn fertilizer 2" beside and 2-4" below the bottom of my root ball when I plant. The corn fertilizer is roughly 12-22-23 with some S and Zn. I only watered them once after planting mid June. The rest has been up to nature. Sometimes I water the plants a few times in the season but this year it is raining often enough that I don't have to.Hello @Peace!
Out in full sun where she loves to be! What are you giving your ladies for nutes? With limitless root run the should get quite chunky!
Got to love the pink pistils, all my P.S ladies are sporting pink pistils, though the will soon shrivel here, loaded with pollen to make more
Green Mountain Grape.
WWWHHHOOOOOO!
I'm convinced that memory never goes away. It's been almost twenty years for me and I do occasionally get the itch for it but I know better. I kind of can still call the feeling in if I think about it hard enough. I'll get the rush and my nose will run a bit.A memory I know all too well friend
They seem to Start flowering soon, iam on 49Hello @petzenpete
Looking spot on for health so far, great plant. Are you starting to get into flowering there? And your latitude? All my Green Mountain Grape are getting into heavy preflower here at 42N
CHEERS!

Sounds like you got it licked!Hey man. Yeah the pink pistils really make the plant look nice. For nutrients it had about 1-2" of composted beef cattle manure applied last fall.

I think you should be coming along soon also. I am working on cultivating an earlier Green Mountain Grape. On the Fem seeds about 3 out of every ten come super early! Here that would be end of August.They seem to Start flowering soon, iam on 49
Yep I am way past those days my friend, but you are right moderation in everything is a good way to be still alive and healthy!Lol its definitely not an experience i'll ever relive. Coke is fun when you're young with some expendable cash. The trick to a positive outcome is not doing it for very long
