Excellent pheno found. One of the top 5 of approximately 60 or 70 strains already grown. GPS other standout was Doc Holliday. It was also a purple cross but was Stardawg dominant. The standout here is candied Tahoe. A pleasure to smoke from top to bottom. Flavor virtually the same all the way through the bowl. I have been smoking and growing 45 years and it takes alot to even raise an eyebrow but this gets it done with 1 bowl normally but I smoke 2 to make sure I close my eyes enough to nod and drop my bowl. Went to a silicone pipe with glass bowl as I had broken more glass ones than can count. If I am fishing I roll a hawgleg and hit the water. I found GPS early on and they shine over most heirloom names that have lost their mojo. I always have a GPS strain in the grow so I know I have at least one standout. I still have several put away to run in the future and sure to make more positive reviews. They do great in the Ozark mountain dew as well! Top shelf
This strain is very frosty and the smell is phenomenal. The effects I got was uplifting and happy. Made me more social then I would be normally or with any other strain I’ve tried so far. My wife took a couple hits of this strain and she couldn’t stop talking after that. This is a very social strain. I think Purple Tahoe has become my favorite day time or going out strain.
This is a pic of a clone I topped 3 or 4 times. This is in it’s 3rd week of flower. Smells like Fruit Stripe Gum!
Smell was more tahoe dominant, small buds but super potent, most plants exhibited sativa dominant growth structure.
What can I say, another banger from Greenpoint…. I grew half of my packet and ended up with a keeper from the get go.
Recently grew this strain last year was very pleased with the outcome huge buds and great Trics along with sweet mellow flavor and smell. With 100% germination
Strong growing strain, one of two had some issues with wpm and botrytis, but not a huge loss. Difficult to find strains resistant enough to finish properly in this climate. Grown in living organics.
Lots of branches with mostly golf ball sized nuts, short colas on top. Fairly covered with trichomes, understated, pleasant smell while growing. While drying the smell isn’t pleasant to me – myrcene dominant probably, smells like dirt.
When vaped, however, and before even any curing, I find the effect very relaxing and easy to focus. Taste is very nice, a little spicy and minty. Despite the current smell, I’m really enjoying the taste and effect of these cultivars.
Photo shows the plant with literally frost. They held up well in the cold temperatures.
Grew in Roots 707 soil. Fertilized with with half strength Fox Farm nutes and Terpinator every few days. PH’d water to 6.4 ish. She was a little slow during veg but really kicked in during flower and turned out absolutely fantastic! Harvested at day 63 but probably could have went another week. Reeks like gas and rubber. Tastes like gas with a hint of hash and berries…super smooth, super nice. Turned out very colorful and I’ll definately grow this strain again ! Cheers!
I’m still learning with every grow but these are doing great under my Volt FL-1 light. I’m using gold leaf nutrients also. Every seed that I received has germinated!
Vigorous and stocky 3 weeks into flower. Smells tropically fantastic. No problems whatsoever growing in Roots Organic 707 under SF2000.
