“Wanted a different strain and I came upon Purple Pine Berry, I have never heard of this girl before. upon reading about her I could not pass it up. Sooooo excited to get her growing, only popped 1 and she is well on her way to a life of abundance. MSNL as always got my package to Florida in less than 2 weeks, during Christmas season, simply AMAZING!! There is not a better seed bank online. QUALITY, SELECTION, & SERVICE no one can touch MSNL!!!”
“I've grown Purple Pineberry for the past two summers in Massachusetts, USA, and I plan on growing it again next summer. I started the seedlings under fluorescents in early April, then moved them outside in mid-May. That's pretty early for this area, but the plants took it in stride.
This is an extremely vigorous strain, and extremely hungry & thirsty as well. My plants needed a LOT of nitrogen in veg. This may be due to the fact that the plants get so thirsty, and heavy watering flushes out nitrogen. Not sure. The root system of this strain is like nothing I've ever seen- you'll need a large container to avoid having the plant become root-bound. By late July, my plants had outgrown their 15 gal cloth pots and were looking unhappy. They're now (early September) in 25 gal cloth pots, but would probably be better off in even larger pots.
The plants grow big (about 6 ft unless topped or trained) and bushy, and the buds grow really long, but not dense. The branches will definitely need support, especially in last few weeks of flower. The relatively open (as in NOT very dense) structure of the buds is what makes this strain less vulnerable to bud rot than pretty much anything else I've ever grown. We get a lot of dew here in late September/ early October, and I've had no problems at all with bud rot with Purple Pineberry. Harvest time for this strain here in Massachusetts is around the 2nd week of October (roughly 8 or 9 wks). Buds purple up somewhat, but maybe they'd get more purple somewhere colder.
I let these buds cure for at least 2 months. The high is very nice- strong, but not overpowering or debilitating. I've been smoking weed for 30 yrs, but I'd be lying if I said I could detect notes of berry or anything. It just tastes like good weed. And that's enough for me.
Great choice for New England (or anywhere else where humidity's an issue) outdoor”
“This one's a winner for outdoor growers. The rain didn't seem to bother them and found very little bud rot. I always lose some harvest to rot where I live and this variety held up much better than most. Trains well and builds up huge thick colas. And gets me high as a kite.”
