Purple Quest Candidate #7

After the Blackberry (Fastbuds), the Blueberry Auto (Pevseeds), the Purple Kush auto (Buddha Seeds)
and the Legendary OG Punch & Sherbet Queen (Royal Queen Seeds)...

I'm introducing the #7 candidate for this Quest where I'm trying to find a specific terpene profile I smoked 2-3 times in my life.
Often described as the "Purple taste", I found it in flowers labelled as "Purple Kush", "Sunset Sherbet" and "Purple Diesel".
But since I'm growing, every attempt to find that Purple taste were fails.

I believe this terpene profile might be associated to Mendo Purps strains.
That's exactly what this new candidate is about: focusing the Mendo Purps traits from American purple strains.
I'm verry excited about this one! Wanted to try it for so long!

Planted seeds directly in soil. saw them sprouting 48h later.
100% success rate... Like always.... Still wondering why people mess with other counterintuitive methods...

I'm going to love thoses babies! Good care, main-lining, LST (but not too much!), still going to use Biobizz product line,
and and and...... A BRAND NEW LIGHT!!!!!

====== SETUP ======
LIGHT: New LED growing light (veg/flowering) : ViparSpectra®️ XS2000
I will be testing this new light during all the plant life!
It's taking less power input, but provide a better light spread with Samsung LM301B LEDs (way more efficient!).
So this is way enough to make me enthusiast about it. Better LEDS, better spread, cost less. PERFECT.
For now, I can already say that it's also releasing less heat than my previous light. I believe the driver is also more efficient.

The first seeds I ever bought were from Sensi Seeds, in Amsterdam, in about 2001. They weren't the first weed I ever grew, up until that point I relied on cuttings from a friend. They were regulars and I got a few females, I took cuttings from them all. One of them would turn the best purple you have ever seen. It wasn't the best yielder, but it tasted superb. I kept that in rotation for a long time. The strain was "Shiva Shanti II", I believe Sensi Seeds still stock it as a regular.

Can you share your best purple? And are you still growing the purple?

Alas no. I had that before digital cameras were a thing. No I am not still growing it, but I am considering doing a grow of Shiva Shanti II to see if I get the Purple pheno again.
