The sweet purple I found took little longer to get clones rooted for me.I usually have rooted clones in 3-5 days but the sweet took 10-14 days to get fully rooted. I then put my 2 inch rockwool clones into 4x4 rockwool cubes and vegged about 10 days which might have been little long for hydro as the plants got a bout a foot taller then I wanted.In soil I vegged for 3 weeks and the plants stopped final height in flower at 3 feet in the hydro they ended up about 4 feet..The only difference I saw in the buds was the soil gave that deep purple color and the smell was alittle more perfumy.The hydro grew much faster and the yield was about 8 times more per plant and the plants had more sugar then the soil plants which I usually find with hydro grows.Im not a fan of soil growing. i did it when I first started and just did another for old times sake but probably wont do one for another decade again lol..The smeel on the sweet purple will be a nice change for you as its different then anything i ever smelled its weird let me know how youd descrip it when you flower..The high is nice and a heady high as with most sativas but very good.I got lucky and of the 3 seeds I sprouted 2 were female and I had a male but I killed it when I should have gotten pollen as I want to cross the sweet purple with dj shorts BB and get sweet Blurple..The pheno I got was the better of the 2 and has the strawberry taste when smoked
