What are the best Purple Strains available in seed form..?

[stasis]

Truth iz aint no such thing as berners cut.. or original cut....

At ONE TIME, there was one cut. I sampled it. I was there. Had just returned to Mendo County from a 2 year assignment in another Med State. At that point, the GSC Cut at Hemp Center - (at which I had always been a vendor of the Chemdog) was legit, and unbelievably tasty. Maybe a later offshoot or two (i.e. Forum cut) still retained a couple traits, but one fool growing out a bagseed and calling it cookies ruins things down the road. Ten or twenty, and it is all over. Coupla lower-level seed breeders work with whatever they call cookies, and forget it.

Went through it all with the Chemdog original cut. AND HOW>..!! Also, tried most of the rest of the elite clone-onlies (BD, U2, LA Pure Kush, and many, many others). In a decade of doing-the-nasty in Mendocino. Also, thru affiliations in the Oakland/SF scene, I saw how silly people used to get, lining up 40deep to wait at door at the Third Floor in Oaktown, screaming, "Yo, Where da Purps at...!"

Not just looking for a 'paint-job." hahaha - but, a solid keeper. And I do like a purple strain.

As for the aforementioned Candy Taste. It was in the Purple Urkle Cut I grew for years. The GDP was skunkier, but wonderful....!

Leaning toward getting the PCK, finding a Purple Bubba / Master Kush Phenotype, and poppin' My DJ Short BB open pollination seeds (although that rarely paid off before, yield-wise) as I had been interested for years. Landraces are exciting..!!! And Sun season awaits, so a Satty-Dom is just fine by me...!

Ultimately, looking for a 62 or less day strain. Very sweet and Indica to balance out the VERY Sativa Triple Diesel.


Big Mahalos, everyone... Taking a toke for ya. After a week of no smoking due to my first illness in 5 years. Some cold/Flu?Bronchitis Mutant.
Peace..!

I agree with ya 100% once the bagseed hit n spread cookies went crazy, but im 89% sure hempcenter got the forum buds just way before it was called forum ... abj brought that cut out in 2010... 2 yrs later after we decided to share it did it become the forum .. after icmag contacted ppl sayin please dont call it ick mag or ic mag cut. ... but anyway
Statis do u think that original cut still exists??? Do u still think they run it... i highly doubt it.... ppl may get mad. Im not gonna spew info but to be quick. .. it was an unstable accident thats why so many seeded packs showed. .. i highly doubt anyone is dumb enough to still run it... animal forum shit they wanna say thin mint is the original but it aint.. i think n hope they moved on... havent seen those same cooks seeded ib yrs.. i actually gotta pic somewhere of the first cookies i seen.ever gottin seeds in buds n all. ill try n dig it up.. i dont want to get homies mad so im not gonna go into details bout other shit dealing with this topic. But i guarantee berner n his crew r running a much better versions of sumthin similar to the original. ..

that is beautifull! youd get a like too haha... whats the flavor, yeild?

She's berrys and licorice, with a small amount of peppery. I tend to veg a lil longer, 600-800 indoors, outdoors she gave almost a unit a plant, at 6-8'

Stoney. You may be right about the cut being the same one.

But, I think the original which caused all the stir was better than any cookies I can find after that. Even at the same club, the cut was not the same for long. Or the growing of the bud may have been cut-cornered.... Pulled early. When people are paying the high price for a new "it" cut, they often start to pull before maturity, to get paid... As we have all seen countless times before.

I kinda wish I still had the original GDP. It was just so complete. Lots of sativa in it (Big Bud..?) compared to the Urkle by itself.

 

[stoney917]

Ogkb mang thats the strongest smellin cookies... but worst plants to grow.. forum is not as bad but not good either.. now that i think bout it thats what went to market... ogkb is what was there... but the original packs prior to any clubs were different.. the fist pick was the first cookies the single bud pic to.. that bud was one of the first ever no purple just rock hard yellowish white frosted nug.. some say tints of purple i dont see it neway that was 2010. . Tother pic is 2011 cookies still pre forum release looks similar but much more dank n purple both sourced from same og grower/connect... havent looked through those old pics in ages these pics bring back memories of sf on homies terrace lbs of cookies dropped on table n little girl bringin me cookie monster drawing smokin watchin the sunset over the bridge.... u try the ghosttrain or ghostwreck that was blowin up the same time... everyone lost that cut once shit turned up

Ranger, I apologize, I don't think you did refer to PCK as pure indica and of course looking at cannabis on a DNA level nothing is pure in terms of Nld/Wld as all cannabis is related somehow but I do not want to get into a debate over that, its too deep for me, lol.
I have Clark's book and have contributed to Sam's DNA project and that is enough for me.
I know in Afghanistan/Pakistan there are indica/sativa/Nld/Wld types and wild pollinations going on but hashish farmers use only the Wld for dry sift hash production and cultivate/breed towards those expressions for there uses and I'm sure PCK was picked from these types and then bred to express the indica/Wld side predominantly.
This is what I was referring to when calling her 'pure' indica/Wld and from a smoker/growers point of view and not a scientific one.

Good summation and I agree with it as well. No problem on the misquoting. Nice plants in the pics and aren't they just a beautiful plants! Always reminded me of Christmas trees. lol

Lyfespan, that Black Dom looks very nice.
In terms of potency you can't compare Pck to 'put you on you're ass ' hybrids, it would seem mild to people who do smoke and enjoy strong, narcotic cannabis.
Like Ranger pointed out, Pck is a pure indica and yes pheno's are all over the place so you have to pick the best of what you get in a pack, get the right one and she is in a class of her own.
Smoking pot is subjective, its all about what different people like in there smoke.
If you've ever smoked fine, Pakistani hash and liked it you will love a good Pck.

Did I miss something in the tittle of this thread? I really didn't care about the comparison of PCK to the Domina. My post was pertinent to the thread title, not some comparison of a plum to an orange.

Now If you read into my touting that the domina will put you on the couch, don't, it was just an added description for general knowledge.

Sorry to be dickish, but I'm tired of misconstrued posters and stoner arguments.

Again the black domina I hold will turn a deep dark purple, and does well in and outdoors.

The op can decide from whatever is listed in the thread as to what might be "best" for them.

Clarity is key, sorry for not posting a clear post before.

 

[stasis]

Lyfespan, I appreciate all observations. All seem to be relatively coherent so far in this thread..

PCK will always come up in discussions of purpleness, due to the lovely colours, and popularity of the strain, as well as belief in the breeder (Ace).

Same for Black Domina. All these repeated references tell that the seeds produced good things for people who germinated 'em.

Conversely, other strains seem to disappear, or never get reviewed. Probably not worthy of valuable real estate in the Veg Room.

I trust that others will be helped, in addition to Myself by the information provided here, from the intelligent peeps on IC.


Cheers.. mahalo nui loa, once again.

WTF? This will be my last post in this thread as I do not want to derail it anymore than it has been and I do not come to ic mag to argue.
Lyfespan, I mentioned that your black domina looks nice, after this short sentence, absolutely nothing else I said referred to you or your plant but to the fact that PCK will not measure up in terms of potency against modern hybrids that have been bred for high THC/potency.
I was just pointing out the difference between an inbred landrace and modern poly hybrids and saying that its all about different smokes for different folks.
I can only talk about strains I have grown and smoked and therefore give my input based on my experience, I am not here to misinform or argue with anyone but I will defend myself when a poster has taken my post out of context and somehow directed it to there own and then go on to call me a misconstrued poster, wtf?
Again, let me make it clear that my post had f**k all to do with your plant or post.
Stasis, I'm sorry for this, I hope you find the purple that you are looking for.

 

[Kygiacomo!!!]

Ace genetcis- u cant go wrong with Ace for sure
VIOLETA

 

[SmokinErb22]

Also going to say Violeta. Its what i ended up ordering when looking for a purple strain. Very nice so far.

 

[stasis]

Please stay, Window... ! Lovin' your input.

[stasis]

Violeta looks beautiful, yes.

I like opinions, gives us all a place to stand on our own. With that being said, mine is that PCK can and does hold a candle to any hybrid out there.

It could be the phenos you have tried are higher CBD phenos but suffice it to say PCK was breed for many many years before being allowed to grow wild. I would imagine the genetic material for high THC as well as high CBD are still within their makeup from one end of the spectrum to the other and they will surface in differing phenos.

Either way we all have an opinion and should respect each others, not that you haven't.

Purple from da LED. Trip D.

A touch of purp - Trip D

I know I am more interested in ACE PCK than I was before this thread. And I WAS interested then...! haha.

I like opinions too, esp when they come from advanced souls, like You Guys. Thanks for ALL of 'um.


Peace...!

I grew the purple mayhem from gooey breeder. They were true purple in color, and one of the best smelling plants in the greenhouse, with more than 160 different plants. I is one of the most purple strains I have encountered, that had a really high amount of resin..
I would recommend trying it out..

All the best

[Imsostonedagain]

I would consider getting the malawi breeder pack from ace and look for the purple malawi or buy a couple packs of satori and look for the purple pheno. I ran a pack of satori in 2007 or 2008 and didn't find a purple pheno but have seen others find it via icmag, and RIU.
Reading aces description of the purple malawi, it sounds terrific. Both of these routes will require a little more work than ordering a "purple" strain but will likely produce a more powerful smoke as I have tried lots of purples over the years and have yet to find one that has the potency I am looking for.

I see this thread and it made remember I once brought a couple of grams of purple bud,it was so purple it was nearly black. I was told this was black rose,does my description sound right? It looked really good with the light green leaves poking out of the bud here and there. It wasn't very potent but I think I would grow it because it looked so pretty
