Born in Mendocino, Mendocino Purps with the Jojorizo-sourced Crystal Locomotive F1 (Trainwreck x 98 Aloha White Widow), and it shows. Bred by Gage Green Group, this balanced hybrid develops tight, conical flowers often dusted in silver trichomes over violet hues. The nose is sweet and grapey with candy and floral spice, while the palate leans fruity-sweet grape with a lightly earthy finish. Expect a feel-good onset that brightens the mood before settling into deep, body-centered calm; many phenos drift toward sleepy, blissed-out relief with a gentle tingle. Typical batches test in the mid-teens for THC (around 14-16%) with trace CBD near 1%. Indoors it finishes in roughly 56-63 days with medium-to-high yields; under sun and long seasons, plants can reach around six feet and push high outdoor harvests. Growers report straightforward management and a moderate stretch, rewarding a dialed-in canopy with fat, frosty colas. Terpene expression often centers on myrcene, supported by caryophyllene and bright limonene or pine-leaning pinene, echoing the Purps' berry tones and Crystal Locomotive's citrus-pine lift. Whether sought for its vibrant bag appeal or its even-keeled, relaxing high, Mendo Montage remains a cornerstone parent behind dessert-leaning modern lines. Expect medium difficulty overall, medium indoor height, and high outdoor vigor.
