Every clone rooted nicely. Very healthy babies thankfully as I could only get 20 off the mom, exactly what was needed... After I finished transplanting they got their first taste of Remo Nutrients. I feed them just corrected pH distilled water up until transplant, (today). I cant say enough good things about the HORTILUX Daylight Blue Metal Halide.
I'll keep them in the cups for 1 week then transplant into 3 gallon fabric pots. I only need 20, thankfully I was able to clone 20 nice babies. I'll only be keeping one pheno for a mom out of the two.

Not stretching a lot, getting verry bushy.... I believe it's a good sign that you got true purple genetic.
Little of defoliation gonna make miracles :)
@PurpleWorship, The flower I bought before I got the beans where all Purple, he sold it as PK. I loved it so much I had to ask for some beans, lucky he had a few left :) ... After seeing 9 fingers I knew it wasn't a pure PK. I had got a hold of the producer In BC to find out what it was and was told the actual name LOL ... Yes, I'm thinking around week 4? and will go from there? This Pheno is insanely bushy, Ive been defoliation since the beginning, every week except for last week. Its much tougher to grow then Pheno 1 as It dont need as much defoliation and care. Everywhere I read says there's 4 Pheno of Mendo PK I have 2. Its my first round with them, but I'm very excited to see the end results. I been at this long time and can stare at this strain for hours. Its a very beautiful plant... Any Input on this strain is so appreciated. Thanks for the comment, happy growing!
I'm going to follow this one verry close!
Can you share infos about the breeder, and where to get these genetic?
I tried a Purple Kush, but she had no mendo parents, and this is probably why she don't had the taste I was looking for.
This might be the one!
@PurpleWorship, you might be able to find seeds here https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Mendocino_Purple_Kush/Medical_Seeds_Co/ mine are clone only now. Hes out beans of this strain. I do plan on breading it though if its the ONE :))
@PurpleWorship, thank you... I received the beans from a BC producer. He only advertised it as Purple Kush. But after growing a few beans, I noticed 9 finger leaves. I never seen a pure Indica with more then 7 fingers, so I knew it wasn't pure PK. I got a hold of the producer I received the beans from and hes almost certain they where bought from Medical Seeds and the leafs structure and plant look identical. There is 4 different Pheno's from my research. I have 2, but I might just keep the one I like better for a new mom. I'll be getting it tested after its cured up and will post in harvest as well on both...
Thanks again for the question, happy growing!
@Smokwiri, thanks, did you see Pheno 1? I'm liking it much better, its much easier to grow. This is a tough one cause its extremely bushy. Ive never seen anything like it. Had to prune a lot every week. Last week was my last till about 5-6 weeks in and know its just a sucker. There very short as well. I am exited though for both Pheno's LOL... Happy growing!
