I have never grown this Purple Kush from QCS (Quebec Cannabis Seeds) before, or seen the results from anyone else using this particular breeder, so its outcome was always going to be a bit of a mystery! It makes it difficult to seperate what resulted from genetics, and what resulted from my actual growing setup. I harvested on day 65 after around 10 percent of trichomes had turned amber and most were cloudy.
The buds lost a lot of mass during drying and became somewhat airy. Post-dry, the appearance of the buds became very orange (from the pistils) and a bit frosty green, but definitely did not take on any purple hues.
The potency of the buds definitely developed well despite the lack of density. No complaints at all after an initial vape, I would grow this strain again based on the potency alone. The effects are pretty balanced, leaning a little towards sedating. I would place it as an evening strain more than a daytime strain, but it really could be used any time.
The buds after a week of curing taste spicy, earthy, with a bit of pine.
After another few weeks in the jar, they have maintained the same notes of spice and pine, but have definitely mellowed into a gentle smoke.
