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 makes cold-resistant strains tough?
These strains are hardy and resistant to mould and pests, which are frequent in cold, damp areas. Their durability makes them a good alternative for legal producers in cold climates or with short growth seasons.
Why are early-finishing strains generally hardy?
These hardy, fast-maturing cultivars can endure late-summer conditions that would damage more delicate types. Surviving in variable climates requires resilience, which these strains have in abundance.
What contributes to the cherry flavour?
Myrcene, a common cannabis terpene, sets the tone with its pleasant, earthy scent. In cherry-flavored strains, it interacts with other terpenes to enhance the delicious, sweet cherry flavour and serve as a foundation.
