I just thought I pop by to finish this Purple Haze grow off.
Everything has been chopped, dried and is curing in the jars, with a final weight of 79 grams plus a few little tester joints along the way & the half ounce early bloom I took down, which I can't complain about considering she was one of two plants under a 90w LED and a few CFL's. She has the potential to easily double that
The smell to the touch is very reminiscent of an old African/Thai type grass but with a sharp, white wine tone running through it. Buds were nicely resinous and rock hard from top to bottom but unfortunately no rainbow of colour this time, she stayed green no matter what I did to her.
Taste is a bit of a weird one. In a joint, it's very grassy... I don't mean a chlorophyll taste btw, I mean like a Thai Stick/Mexican badgrass flavour, which would be fine if the product was grass like in texture, it'd work then, but with the buds looking and feeling like fluffy, skunky nuggs, it's just not quite right.
In a bong/pipe it gets a little better, same flavours as above but a lot mellower, now there's a sweet grape tone coming through but still very little in the flavour department.
However, in a vape, it redeems itself somewhat. There's none of that funky grass taste, that's disappeared completely and its been replaced with an initial taste of those LoveHeart sweets, and on the exhale, something even weirder... Parma Violets.... It's undeniable... nothing tastes like Parma Violets... Except this.... in a vape lol.
The high is another weird one.. On the one hand it gives me loads of energy to get up and start doing something but then 5 minutes in it plays the creeper card and sends a cloud of smoke through my thoughts which means I'm full of energy but too damn spaced to know what to do with it...
Overall though I've gotta say, it's not for me. It's a pleasant enough smoke but that's about it. Pleasant.
Nice to grow from start to finish, no problems on a heavy feed, handled topping really well, really enjoyed it but unfortunately I won't be doing another.
And that's about it really, oh, apart from these, enjoy :)
