Purple Milk hails from the star-studded lineup of the Grape Gas collection.

This Indica dominant hybrid brings everything you loved about the Horchata, with added color and slight sweetness from the Grape Gas parent. She finishes purple genetically which only enhances anthocyanin production when cold temps are introduced. The has a gelato gas-forward front nose with a sweet finish on the back. The flower is stunning with swollen calyx and recessed bracts when pushed more generative. This cultivar does perform well with a standard irrigation strategy (3 weeks generative, 2 weeks vegetative, 4 weeks generative) in most environments.

Crop Steering Notes: This cultivar produces large, dense buds. Be careful during vegetative irrigation phases not to create oversized buds, since this cultivar can be targeted by botrytis when poor environmental conditions are present and buds are oversized. This cultivar will finish normally without need to steer it excessively generatively.

Recommended Grow Environment: This cultivar does very well in high-PPFD environments and responds to high light with big, high-quality buds. Best grown in a small bush not exceeding 24″ before flip or will otherwise require significant trellising to hold large buds up. Sensitive to botrytis since buds can get big and dense. Not viable for solventless extract (<-2% yields). Strongly recommended not topping this cultivar, as adequate secondary branching is formed naturally, and axillary buds extend at 90 degree angles from top.

Bud Structure: Average plant structure. Tops can get big and heavy. Internodal distance is medium/low, with colas buds retaining separation between buds. Buds are hard and dense. Training can be somewhat problematic since axillary buds often form at 90 degree angles from cuts, leading to a difficult-to-manage canopy.

Overall Grow Difficulty: Medium
