The Alaskan experiment. I harvested in mid July Southern Hemisphere, so the middle of winter. This was always an experiment to see how far I could push an outdoor grow in my region. Challenges were lower temps, rain and early frost resulting in some loss to mould, as I anticipated. The yield was also no doubt affected. On the plus side I got her through in good shape and the quality is as good as it could be. I am happy to give Alaskan Purple an 8 because overall,,,,
Grow - Easy. Topped well, flowered on time, good size, very tidy and easy to maintain. Got some mould but it was winter so give a tick there.
Yield - Not the greatest. Not ideal conditions granted, but the shape is lanky and buds are like puffs rather than big long colas.
Visual - Stunning. The prettiest I have grown. Amazing blend of purple and green and I really could not look away sometimes.
Buds - Top shelf. Strong but not knockout. Tastes exactly like it smelled! The look of the plant makes you think sweet, berries and cream and that is what you get. Really nice shit.
Well done Seedsman, Alaskan is a good one. I recommend for an outdoor grower who loves the visual appeal because this one is gorgeous 🍻
I have always used these to date. I have found some other organic top ups like worm compost and tea compliment the bio Vega well. Boost is the best. Buds always in top nick and smell great
Seedsman Alaskan Purple. I am so happy to have this one in the bag. As an experimental grow deep into winter, there were a few tough times late in flowering, and I will take that lesson away for subsequent years. I probably pushed it a few weeks late. Still, she stood up to the test and delivered a modest yield of high grade. I am more than impressed with this one. Above all, Alaskan is a beautiful spectacle. The colour tones that develop late into flower are stunning. It’s hard to look away sometimes, with almost daily changes as the purple tones burst out at the tops and creep down the plant before maturity. I definitely recommend this for the outdoor organic grower who loves the visual appeal. Not to mention a jar full of great bud. 🍻
@Spliffi, Ihave a mate in ZA. He was growing fine. Native plants do well. And ZA is famous for many Sativa strains. Indica's do better in cooler climate. And common wisdom is that 0 C is the temperature when your have purple on purple strain. So, 13 C is just fine.
I am in Thailand. My coldese is 20 :D :D :D . Today, I am panting in 40 degree heat. Plant just stop growing in this heat. And I am waiting for my winter.
@Med_in_Tropic, thanks Med,, I didn’t really know that,, they were just freebies that I thought I might experiment with through winter... we do have beautiful winter weather where I live. It can get a bit cold, like top temps of 15 in winter, but really dry and clear through the day so hoping to just get something worth while in the “off season”. Thanks for your advice always mate 🍻
