About

Once again, we’re cracking open the Mephisto seed vault and bringing you a staff pick of a strain: Old School Purple Nuggets.

Old School Purple Nuggets displays two main phenotypes, with most of the variation coming down to her structure. Some plants will stack up compact and stout, leaning more towards the indica-dominant Purple Nuggets parent, while others will stretch and branch more like the taller, more sativa-leaning Old School Mango Haze, but still retaining the denser nug structure.

You can often spot which way she’s leaning reasonably early on. Big, broad leaves followed by tight node spacing indicates a Nuggets-leaner, meaning maximising airflow and staying on top of defoliation will be imperative to making sure you maximise yields. On the other hand, if she begins to stretch early, with longer internodes and more pronounced lateral branching, you’re likely in OSMH territory and can plan accordingly with early LST to open her up and manage height.

Purpling of her flowers isn’t a guarantee, but it has been a more-often-than-not during our test grows; with the holy grail pheno for Terrance being taller and branchier, with dense, purple nugs carpeting the canopy.

The high starts off heady, cerebral and uplifting, but gives that warm blanket on the porch on a cool summer evening vibe. She’s balanced: euphoric but calm, a do-er but not necessarily a go-getter.
