So this was a gift from a very good friend of mine. I know very little about the strain, but I got it as a surprise. Above is the package it came in.

So as usual, I will use the "Wintering Method" by placing it in water, and into the fridge for 24 hours. I just put it in a few minutes before starting this thread. So 24 hours from now, I will remove it, and place it in wet paper towels, and in the 89*F seed starter unit. When/if it starts a tap root, I will transfer it to a rockwool starter cube, and then place that into a 6" netpot with hydroton.

More later when/if we see results.

Welcome Bassman! as usual this is just a strain info only thread and the rest of the good stuff will be over in the Cardboard Flower Box journals. Thanks for checking out the strain, though, I hope this one goes better than the Purple Cindy (both of them).

The Hatchery is again in use! I'm so happy, I could just cry. I can not thank the benefactor enough for this one. He knows who he is, and I know, wherever he is now, He is a good, and kind man.

Oh! Happy Day!

Ladies and gentlemen! Please allow me to present:

Purple OG #18!


I noticed this morning that she had broken through so I took a picture. Then, I decided that it would be fun to present the first twelve hours in the life of a seedling.

re: Jandre2k3's Maternity Ward Purple OG #18

YAY! She's gonna survive! Added 1/4" hydroton to fill the 3" net pot.

Still on clear water for a few more days. Blue Planet Nutrients suggests to start 1/4 nutes after second node starts. Will start "Seedling" below when second done is formed.
