"Miracle" Purple Sativa

[DankBank]

There's a long story here... I'll try to make it short.

Some time ago, a good friend came upon an ozer of something the likes of which we hadn't seen in ages.
It was the result of someone showing up from outta town trying to sling shit & we had no idea why he'd driven from so far away.
He didn't have quantity, so in hindsite I don't think he'd ripped anyone off or done anything unfavorable.
Whatever the circumstances were, at this point I don't care.
The buds showed slight herm tendencies (A few beans had obviously been removed by the breeder - an unsuccessful attempt to keep people from attaining his genetics).
It didn't work

We retrieved 2 beans - one perfect, the other cracked.
Perfect bean failed, "cracky" popped in 1 day. I predicted (accurately) that it was an S1 and would either be hermie or female.
The rest is history.
Once we saw it flowering, there were (disappointed) concerns that we might have stumbled upon someone's Trainwreck S1's... it looked a little similiar. It kicked out a few nanners... produced a few more S1's (although we controlled it carefully and most nanners were removed long before they could do any damage). These early days were the point where I worried most that it was nothing but a TW.... boy was I wrong.
This girl is pure Sat... and unlike TW, yield was outta sight. Pure insanity.
It took a long time to get here..... but it was well worth the wait.
And now I proudly share a macro with ya'll of what I chose to name "Miracle". It deserves it's title.

DOH!

Should have mentioned that jar cure began a couple weeks ago, so I can't go into a smoke report yet. I'll get to it when I can. Initial tests were (as far as high) the same as mom - mindblowing.

damn that is funky lookin weed (in a good way) and looks nice and dank.
cool pink shades looks exotic.

Trippy purplish colors were witnessed during veg just a few weeks from seed. I made a point of taking pics because I wanted the ablility to compare later on during veg and after flowering was taking place.
Here's a pic from veg (straight from the seed) at about 4 weeks.... & yes... very strange indeed. What's even more strange is that it went purple OUTSIDE the veins during early veg and then shifted to purple IN the veins later on (you can see the purple color beginning to shift into the veins in this pic).... and just in case anyone's thinkin' about it - I keep a close eye on my PH... PH has nothing to do with this.... it's just a wierd strain.

those leaves really dont look like any pure sativa ive ever seen mate.....
On another note, i have a few beans of something called local purple sativa, which were given to me by a growing p[al...I think he said they were igloo seeds which is an old australian company I believe.... Maybe ill try em one day??
Ive got a blue moonshine that has purple stems and underneath leaves like that.....
Be lucky now

 

[DankBank]

I understand your point, Harry. And I agree completely... that leaf looks NOTHING like a Sat. But the leaf structure completely changed later on in veg. That leaf was what it looked like in the first few weeks.... just after the bean popped... within a few more weeks the structure shifted to extremely long and slender. I was originally exited because I thought I had myself some crazy Indica... it's funny you mentioned that because I was thinking about it earlier today - "I'll bet people will look at that leaf & think I don't understand what a Sat is" lol.... I'll try to post a couple more pics of the leaves as they looked at the end.... gotta check with my buddy to see what other sorts of shots he took.
take care

here's a shot that gives you a better look... it's easier to tell how slender they are.
Lighting wasn't as good on this one... but the color still shows pretty well.

go cracky go!!! so i am a bit confused- are these genetics being preserved and you were able to clone this interesting variety? looks loverly.....-kind regards from GP

was wondering the same thing

 

[Guest]

Looks alot like my purple shaman.

 

[DankBank]

Oh yes... preserved 4 sure
It was cloned & moved to a different location as soon as it was big enough. I was positive the bean was an S1, so unless it went hermie I knew we had a female which would be just like the smoke we found the beans in... so cloning early on was top priority - plus it also produced a few more S1s.
Since the smoke is identical to the smoke we found the original beans in, I'm sure these S1's are just like the 2 we started with.

pics in flowerig maybe? looks good from upside down

in that hybrid there the sativa influence comes out at the start of flowering as noticed by the leaves gettin thinner then, least that's how i've seen my hybrids work, whereas the real sativas are always skinny... did the plant pollinate itself? sounds like it, and the offspring you have there also went hermie being from a self-herm seed and the new seeds from that will be even more prone to herm as the herm gene is becoming more prevalent with each successive generation... all that being said, it looks pretty damn frosty

what's the taste like? perhaps it came from feminized seeds to begin with from that other grower, maybe blueberry sativa if the taste indicates? it looks real nice, like i said incredibly frosty... sounds interestin

 

[DankBank]

hi Ralph. I'm sure there is the possibility of increasing herm... it was an extremely minor problem with this one (3 or 4 beans were made, and only 2 pollen sites were found and removed).

It's been curing for a bit... can't really do any smoke report yet. But the best description as of now would be earthy/skunky/perfume. I don't really think there's any blueberry in it, but of course no way for me to know 4 sure. From smell and early tastes I just don't think so.

Very little information was obtained about the person it originally came from...
what we do know is that he's an old timer, this is the only strain he grows, and his "one and only" strain has been with him for quite a long time.
I have doubts about it being something that was fem'd to begin with... it didn't sound like this guy even knows what the internet is, let alone orders seeds... but of course we'll never know 4 sure.

Interesting stuff you pointed out about the hybrid thing... I don't have any experience with the "shifting" stuff up until now with this strain... but Miracle didn't shift towards thin slender leaves in flowering - it did it very early in veg. By the time the seed plant was 6 weeks old the leaves had gone completely sat. And the structure of the plant had done so, too. The indica look was only seen to the first 4 or 5 nodes, then disappeared.
Because I have it on good authority that this strain was so old, I'm still not convinced that it's a hybrid. I guess I "want" to think it's all sat... wishfull/hopefull thinking you could call it.

Guess it's not so purple after all.... oh well - that's ok, right? Green is still good!

 

[Guest]

that weed is like pure resin glands.

 

[Harry Gypsna]

Hi DB....fair enough mate...i did say "Pure" though....i still dot think it is a pure sat as you mentioned above although you couldve been talking about the buzz, anyway balls to semantics haha, lets burn one up. whatever the genetics it does look frosty as hell mate and im sure its yummy to boot.
Be lucky now.

[DankBank]

Hi Harry.
The frost makes up for the lack of definity!
There's nothing in it (high or asthetically) that would indicate any indi influence, but I realize that doesn't rule out the possibility of indi's genetic presence. I suppose we'll never know for sure... but a little mystery is fun anyhow. Cheers!

WOW, definitely looks amazing for bagseed.. i wish i had bags like that
