Grandmommy Purple was a kind and patient teacher for my first grow. I am glad this is what I ended up trying to grow first. I ran into all sorts of issues over the many many weeks it took to get to harvest. The plant took everything I could throw at it and more. By the end, though, she was tired and started succumbing to my lack of experience. Good thing we were done by that point.
The smell on this one, honestly, left a little to be desired. I mean, I didn't know what to expect, but I feel like the smell was very soft, if that makes sense. Like it wasn't some in your face skunk funk. But there was a strong pungent weediness to it that was soft around the edges. It was like a weird sour smell that was pungent and creamy. It was also a little fruity. The fruit smell came out more after you touched it, kind of like fruit-loops cereal but with added citrus notes here and there.
When washing for bubble hash, the smell was very pronounced. It was soo sweet, almost minty.
All in all, this was a good plant for me and I would not be against growing it again. However, I would like to grow other strains.
