Hello all.......Save the Screen name...My name is DON. I am a Prop 215 patient living in Santa Cruz. I am originally from L.A. and have roughly 16 years growing experience..
The question I want to throw out is regarding the Cloning of the Strain "Purple Kush" (a.k.a Purple coma). I obtained these clones from the alleged original creators at Oaksterdam college. I am now into my 6 week of Flowering and I clearly do have a unique plant that does display unusual Purple and does smell like Skunky Grape Crush Soda. You can find alot of cheap yet A+ clones in the bay area medicinal communtiy.... but finding these babies was a gift. I can tell 6 weeks into flowering these are just...."Different" than the others I have seen. At $10 each for 4 week old females I wish I grabbed more.
I took an initial batch of 30 clones (just to be safe)..using my dependable method of rootech hormone, rockwool and olivias rooting solution in a dome.....I had 0% success with PK. I have NEVER had worse than 50% ever in my history..EVER (lol)....Thinking there was something wrong somewhere in the mix and not me or the plant I took another 30 cuttings and gave them a close watch and care....AGAIN!!!!...NONE MADE IT PAST SHOCK???
My question is
A) Is this a commoin problem with PK or other Purple strains. shall I try another method known to work for difficult Mothers
B) These Purple Kush were from the supposed original creators of Purple Kush in Oaksterdam...a Clone only strain even up to 2009...would that have something to do my Issues.....why has Purple Kush not flooded the seed market....PROPAGATION ISSUES MAYBE?????
I have read only a few things online about Purple Kush bieng Fussy when cloned...even one guy claiming his Cloned Purple Kush plants had low survival rate but went straight MALE (not hermy..he claimed MALE???)....aside from that I cannot figure why I cannot clone this strain, let alone with such a high failure rate....It's got to be more than bad supplies or user error...right......?
Any thoughts
Thanks and PEACE
