I grew out 4 Vortex females and now i'm smoking on them. Ths is hands down my favorite strain and I love the high and i've broken the high down into three parts. THe first part is in initial headchange, that moment when you feel blind and can't see after smoking, this has it. Second is about 5 minutes later you start getting waves of euphoria. 10-15 min later you get a nice comfy body high. Its a layered high in 3 parts and I've not found anything else quite like it. I love the mango candy flavor with hints of poop. Hard to explain but it is a candy/floral/fruity smell.

Anyone else a fan of Vortex?

I recently scored 10 TGA Vortex seeds. It's a component of Goblin Kush (Immortal Flower not the Green Crack one). I lost the Goblin Kush strain and the breeder is long gone. I've been thinking about breeding Goblin Kush 2.0. I would need the Mendo Purps and SoCal Master Kush clone to do that. I could use Purple Urkle and Bubba Kush instead but it wouldn't be quite the same.

I've never smoked the straight Vortex but I know it's where Goblin Kush got it's sweetness from.

Where did you pick up the Vortex if you don't mind me asking asking?

Nice, I can't wait to try the pure Vortex.

As for breeding Goblin Kush 2.0, I haven't found the Mendo Purps clone but hopefully it will pop up somewhere. I considered grabbing a pack (or 2) of Sunken Treasure's Purple Ape instead, which is Grape Ape x Mendo Purps. As for the SoCal Masterkush, a guy on Strainly has it on his clone list for 1000. The Bubba Kush Matt Berger cut is only 150. They're pretty similar, Master is a bit more hashy tasting, Bubba is a bit less nute sensitive.

I mean if you're trying to recreate the cross exactly thats dope, I'd settle for the remix lol. CSI has some Mendo Purp options,S1 or Bubba x Mendo. All you need is a Vortex male with the latter or a reversed fem of the two

It was originally made by first crossing Mendo Purps x Jaffa Cake (Vortex x Space Qleaner) to make Kingsblood, then crossing that to the SoCal Master Kush. I had a few Jaffa Cake plants, they were orange peel sativa runts. I think the cross might be better with just the pure Vortex, actually.

Your proposed CSI method would take some time off the project and probably yield similar results, maybe I'll try that too.

The Vortex wasn't orange peel more like what the OP said, candy tropical mango poop funk. Super terpy!

About 10 years ago, there was a medical marijuana dispensary on just about every block and I walked into a place I'd never been before. I wanted to try a bunch of samplings so I bought a gram of almost each strain they had. One of those strains was Vortex. I remember it was one nice, tight green bud that smelled like someone had vomited a mango smoothie. It had that deliciously repugnant smell -almost like rotten vegetable trash on a hot day. In that one bud, there was one, perfect seed. I grew that seed out and whatever it grew into was nothing like that bud that it came from. Too bad. I actually was hoping to get that flavor profile again. Nope.

If I could grow out that strain again, I would.

Sub was legit one of the coolest and most friendly growers and seed producers ever... I once got a chance to ask him flat out what was the best strain he offered, to which he replied without hesitation, Vortex. RIP brotherman.
