Purple Satellite is a cross of two Inbred lines: Oaxacan Gold kept from 1979 and a high altitude pure Nepalese sativa. The Oaxacan bumps up the potency immensely.
Purple Satellite is one of the earliest sativa of its quality available to northern growers, coming in before most of the others, finishing when the sun is still high and strong for extra trichome production, with great resistance against cold, fungus and rains. Remember to mind your nutes starting early flowering.
Plants are very consistent and may look like clones. Almost all will develop pink to fuchsia pistils and purple in the calyx even without a chill period.
The smell of plants in mid to later bloom are seriously strong cherry that fills the air upon finishing the smell gets more complex with a fragrance of pine, incense with a touch of berry that carries into the very smooth smoke.
Strain FAQ
What terpenes are common in cannabis strains with berry flavours?
Berry-flavored strains contain myrcene, which has musky, earthy notes that lean towards sweet fruitiness; pinene, which brings crisp, piney freshness; caryophyllene, which adds spicy, peppery depth; limonene, which adds citrusy, tangy sweetness; linalool, which adds soft, floral sweetness; and humulene, which adds hop-like earthiness. The strain's complex berry profile results from these.
Are early-finishing strains popular indoors?
Absolutely. Due to their shorter flowering period, these strains require less lighting indoors, saving energy. They also cut late-season pest management and water use for outdoor crops, saving resources.
Why do Cold-resistant cannabis strains produce more resin??
Increased resin production in these strains insulates against cold and moisture. A dense covering of trichomes on buds and leaves protects the plant and improves potency and aroma, making this is great survival benefit!
What does hybrid cannabis strain phenotypic variation mean?
Individual plants in a hybrid strain can vary in colour, height, and bud structure. Breeders can improve and stabilise desired traits by selecting certain phenotypes and thereby improve the strain.
What obstacles do indoor collectors face with 100% Sativa strains?
Sativas' towering height and long bloom times reportedly lead to them requiring plenty of space and environmental trickery to mimic their tropical habitat indoors.
