So I went down and visited my dad around Thanksgiving time. He gave me some Super Purp to smoke on and smoked me out with some while I was there. It's not the prettiest, and not very terpy, possibly due to my dad curing too fast. But to be fair the Super Purps in my grow room aren't as loud as my crosses. Growing it and watching it struggle in my cold shed, while my own crosses thrived, and not having any to smoke was discouraging. But it was bred to be an extremely stable hot weather Purple strain.
However after smoking some I was reminded the potency is amazing, and even though it's not super loud it's super stoney and euphoric a perfect blend of Indo and Sativa but way more Indica. Reminds me of smoking in high school, and I have a high tolerance smoke lots every day etc. I live in Southern Oregon and have spent all but 3 months of my life in Oregon and Northern California. I've always had access to dank. This stuff is definitely different than your typical, cookie, chem, gdp, og, or glue cross, but definitely comparable if not greater in potency than various cuts in those categories.
After smoking Super Purp, I was motivated to preserve the strain and make multiple crosses with it. I have permission from my dad to breed it as much as I want, and he even thought putting it into auto form was a good idea when I told him about the idea. I also found out more about the history of the strain, and found out the seeds I have of it are 6ish years old. He also said he put 10+ years into the strain. The breeding he just did where the seeds are finishing up now, are the first breeding he's done in 6ish years. He did so to try and make them a little more cold resilient.
The Super Purp is a smaller strain and was bred that way by my dad. He likes smaller faster potent strains. All the more reason I think it would be a perfect Auto. However I want to breed it with some monster autos and see what I can make happen. I have a lot of ideas for Auto crosses but want to wait until I have the seeds in hand before I tell everyone my ideas.
I will be breeding both phenos to a C99 x Querkle male. Then running the rest of my Super IBL later on when it warms up a bit. Then hopefully crossing a Super Purp male to his sister, a bx if I find something interesting, and some auto strains.
Although I have permission to breed with the Super Purp, and even release fem versions of it. The Super Purp regular seeds are something only my dad and I have, and he made me agree to not give out clones of it or anything, so I wouldn't be able to release regular IBL Super Purp seeds. But I am planning on doing a fem cross soon to my Iranian Cinex x C99 cut that's been super stress tested, and smells like Lemon Lime candy. Here's a picture of her. Sorry for the Red Leds.
