PURPLE KUSH GROW

[drymouth]

RedwoodGrower - Thank you for the kind words. Well... I'm not really looking at the yield... more so the quality! As I know the Pk yields low like maybe a zip or zip and a half maybe 2 for a month or so veged Pk in a 5 gallon bucket. So I'm in like in... a little over a gallon veged for a month... maybe a half zip judging from the over all size of the plant. I didn't use any boosters of any sort and i fed at the lows point I could get away with, plus... I hardly added any N to my teas. A few days before my pics I was feeding with Humbolt Nutrients bloom which has no N in it what so ever! Now I'm starting a 3 week flush ( which by the way is not needed with organics) I'm just trying to insure that it turns a breath taking purple... Cuzz whats the use of growing Purple Kush without the, "Purple!"

I had a friend growing it and he didn't change the res from a grow to a bloom formula at the flip of 12/12 and his didn't not turn purple at all! Almost a 2 month veg time at that! he even tried to take it past 65 days and flush the shit out of it and still nothing! 75 DAYS! wow! All this time and no purple... yeah it may be dank... but that sucks that it didn't turn! I told him 75 days... thats kind of scares... mold, Plus... i told him you might miss the window, It might just close on you... but will see.

have any of you guys taken it that fare? whats your take?

Oh... here go's a pic i left out

Here go's some pics of some of my Hindu Skunk at 47 days. This Was a few days ago I harvested them since. Figure I post them here since it was grown Pure Blend Pro ( some what organic or hydro organic) and I didn't get that many views on the thread so here they are. "Excuse me" to those who've all ready viewed!

hey there drymouth,

the pic of the finished product i posted before was harvested at 8 weeks maybe even a day before that and it turned out pretty purple. i have noticed some plants will turn earlier or later than others however.

i'm probably going to let at least one of my plants this go-round flower for a full 10 just to see how much deeper purple i can get...

i remember last harvest cutting up some wet stuff and it looked like it was bleeding welches grape juice... good stuff.

great looking HKSK too btw...

i just chopped the first of my HKSK group about 3 hours ago so i thought i'd share a pic of that to compare too

This is the one and only Purple Kush from Trichome Tech brought to the bay/Oaksterdam club scene. You don't even have to grow it to see this dankness....

Any other Purple Kush, suchas the "Garberville" or "Las Vegas" or "Kyle Kushman's" cut is total bullcrap, hemp. Do a search and you will see people growing out the other hempy purple"kush" strains.

This lady is the Real Fire.










The one and only.

Yeh im not sure of the genetics i got em from a care giver, but he said PK. Anyway these are them im not sure how much longer i should veg em for they look small but i probably should soon so they dont stretch much.

They're the taller ones of the 6, the only short squat bushy one is the GDP, you think a descent yield can be pulled if i flip em to 12/12 in the next few weeks?

 

[drymouth]

HeresTheDank - Niiiice... Your looking at something promising my friend.... Post a pic of some update shots if you could....

Neptune - Ride on bro'... luvin thoes Pk shots.

code - nice pics of the Hk! 8 weeks you say? let me know how she smokes... here go's some of my Hk dryed shots Cheers my friend...






Some promising smaller filler buds ready to get a hair cut


and now after the drymouth haircut

Someone else said it, and I agree... that stuff looks like Urkle to me. Nice grow, but I think you may have either Urkle or a VERY VERY VERY close relative. Urkle is extremely identifiable to those of us who have grown her.

 

[Suby]

Be it whatever because I know fuckall about strains, lineage, crosses, cuts, etc. those look very nice.

I do know nice nugs when I see them and these look bomb.

PBPro makes for some nice nugs, I still wonder why so many still use AN or GH in soil when part organic and part hydro formulas get the best of both worlds in soil.

Keep it green...or purple whatever

[Suby]

Oh and this is insane, evil too because some of us are at work tring to stay sane waiting for the weenend

Great colors on all of these.

Nice pics every body......

Neptune good info.....My bro has the real deal pk after seeing those pics of yours I am now 100% positive . HAve you ever noticed a slight, grapey taste under all the the kush musk ?

I puffed on my bros PK again today ( hence the edit) and he says it's because of the sweet he uses as a supplement to his otherwise organic regime that brings out the slight grape flavor......??? It's not that obvious but under all that thick , heavy kush musk there is a little fruity tinge leaning towards grape......


In any case that erkle, or erkle cross looks really dank enjoy brotha. Hope I am not hijacking your thread to bad.....

If this is the PK (which it very well may be), I would say that someone got the Purple Urkle clone and was told not to share it. So, instead of sharing the PU clone, they called it PK and shared it under that name. The plants in this thread are either Urkle, or a cross of Urkle. I've seen so many strains over the years that didn't look like Urkle, so when I see one that looks and smells like Urkle, it has to be an Urkle. Urkle kicks ass BTW, so call it what you like, it's gonna be great smoke.

 

[drymouth]

Suby - Freakin' nice purple! I'm loving thees pictures! How was the taste of that bud by the way? Pure Blend does make for some good stuff. After going threw this last round I could safely say it dose stack up well against other companies. I use pbp once on these babys (Due to the lack of dry ingredients that was available to me) But, "nothing like some organic Purple"

Crazy Composer - To my Urkle fans I'll call her, "Urkle Kush" to my Sr-71 cat's, this is the, "Purple Kush" Either way it go's.... I'll be firing up some Dank Weed with you guy's on this thread!

sophisto _ Rideon' my friend... I'll be doing a full smoke report here, a full analysis of the whole smoking experience with this purple mistress...

nice PURPLE KUSH drymouth

way to rock the O-gan, you're gonna love it

 

[DJ_highst_]

well in my opinion sr-71/bluesky was the original purveyor of the purple kush that is today's standard. ie: the shit ED R had a 2page spread on giving props to the oakland club and strain.

older growers ive talked to have mentioned a purple kush that they remember from many years ago but as of now the purple kush label belongs to sr-71/bluesky imho.

so in other words i don't know why a couple of you don't think its PK..?

couldnt be more right correct. If it came form SR71 its PK

SR71 has been pumpin out the PK for a while now.


Nice nugs Drymouth. I love the PK too.

 

[Anghellic]

Hey man looking great, gotta love the PK.

I actually picked up a PK clone here in Sebastopol down in the Bay Area, next to Santa Rosa. I'm really starting to think they were carrying the SR-71 cutting with how similar mine looks to everyone elses. I love this plant, the perfect height and branching. It looks soooooo dank too. I would have to say you have the PK for sure.

4-weeks

Looking great man, keep it up.

 

[ReeferDan]

Look in Ed Rosenthal's big book of buds, i forget which one. But the PK he shows in there is from coffeshop Bluesky/SR-71, where the OP is growing his PK from. Its the real deal PK, everyone in the bay that grows knows about this PK its legit, and its definatly not Purple Urkle.

Great looking PK, i had some going last summer but the damn bud rot got to it!!!

 

[Mr Celsius]

Since when did it matter what Ed Rosenthal says? I remember buying one of his first books... he said it was ok to use a 1000w for a 10x10 area. Needless to say, there was a lot of inaccurate information. I don't respect what he has to say because he hasn't earned it. All these "pot stars", if you will, are just exploiting the pot public for profit. He didn't make that book to help you all out, he made it to pay his bills.

I will firmly standby and say that it is not purple kush and it is definitely purple eurkle or a close relative (as CC already stated). That doesn't make it a bad strain, it just makes it NOT PK.

The following isn't an ego trip, but I don't really believe people that haven't grown many strains, have been fed all their knowledge from clubs or haven't been around an underground scene for a while. Trust me, I've been to plenty of clubs and I know the scene there. Powdery mildew, high prices, mislabeling, CONSTANT hermaphrodites and poor crosses all for the glory of namesake.

 

[code]

mr. Celsius so you're saying SR-71/Bluesky isn't where Purple Kush was introduced to the mainstream and to this day consistently comes from?

i'd love to see some 'real' PK pics that you so firmly stand by... since i guess it's so obvious to you this isn't....

 

[Crazy Composer]

Here's an anecdote to help explain why both the Purple Kush and the Purple Urkle are the same plant...

I grew Urkle for a couple years, and eventually I decided to let her go. WELL, at about the same I was offered a clone of the Purple Kush from the west coast, and I agreed. No sooner than my last Urkle was finished flowering, I started flowering this (supposedly new) Purple Kush. It was the EXACT same clone I knew as Purple Urkle for several years.

So... the only explanation is that one of the names cames first, and the other one was added later. There will be folks who grew it first as Purple Urkle, and will swear this clone is Urkle, and there will be those who grew it first as Purple Kush and will swear it is Purple Kush. All I know is, what I knew as Purple Urkle, and this clone of Purple Kush as the same. There's a SLIGHT chance that the PK is the offspring of the Urkle (or visa versa), but they are so similar in every way that I'd have to say they are actually not different at all.

I'm only saying this because there's obviously some fucky foo, confusing misnomer baloney going on, and we want to make sure the community knows what's what.

This is Purple Urkle.

Have you been to SR-71 to see their quality control?
Have you been to this grow to get your hands on this plant and smell it and see how it grows? Have you smoked this bud to see how it tastes/ smells and effects you?

If not, then you cant say for sure by looking at a few pictures. Ive seen the exact same cut from the same mother grow looking very different in different setups. There are too many variable elements to make something look exactly the same from one room to the next so how can you say exactly what it is by looking at a picture?

This is the cut called "purple kush" offered by coffee shop bluesky (SR-71) In Oakland, CA. It was called "ultraviolet" when gifted to them. Why they changed the name... i do not know. But thats what its called and thats why the OP calls it PK. Whatever it is, its some dank purple that grows out to be great medicine for many many people.

Not trying to start an arguement, just stating facts.
