Finished up the Purple Portal testers. Kept like phenos (identified by stem rub, leaves, etc). Gave a few plants for my buddy to throw outdoors. He ended up with a deep purp Ninja Fruit dom, and bright green Ninja flavored Rift.
The pheno I bloomed was right in between Ninja Fruit and Rift (parents). The flowers ended up turning a pastel pink, which is kinda odd when juxtaposed against the green leaves, makes it look “brown” at first glance. Then you look at it closer, “holy crap, it’s pink!”.
Nose is tropical pineapple punch. Very pleasant and if you’re into pine/pineapple/tropical kush, this is right up your alley, but unique in a way that makes it “new”.
I heard that Ninja Fruit is all about “the flavor” (have the beans, haven’t popped ‘em). Ninja Fruit
lends a lot of itself in this cross, so much savor. The high isn’t too crazy, but the smoke is akin to a fine wine, old single malt, or premium anejo. Smooth, but tastes like chopped mango and pineapple, doused with fresh lime juice, tobasco, and throw some salt and “Lucas” or Tajin on it. Tropical herbs and spices. Hard to describe, but very appealing.
I’m going to run the phenos that I gave my buddy (cuts taken before gifting), see if I can make that buzz a little more “uplifting”.
