Dan, Maybe I missed it but I only remember one pic of the Purple Maroc in the garbage can from a few weeks back. Have you finished with it yet and if so what kind of yield, taste, quality etc. did it offer? I have a mother and a several copies (indoor and outdoor) that are a few weeks out from being done. I have plans on doing some breeding with this strain due to it's "semi-auto" tendencies but still struggling with what I need to cross with. Any input and/or pics would be much appreciated.
I'm still vegging it. I'll take a few pics of it later in the week for you.
IMO semi-auto tendencies = extremely sensitive and not suitable for indoor growing. I'll be breeding it with jack herer and arcata trainwreck, but I'm not going to do it indoors at all. Next year I'll see if I've got a more stable cross of it that still retains it's positive qualities.
As for what to breed it ideally, hard to say since I haven't seen it finish. Right now I'd say I'd want to breed it with something more vigorous, that will start growing quicker but still another purple sativa strain since that is one of the appeals of it. There aren't many great purple sativas out there, so if it were me, I'd look for something to retain those qualities. Purple haze comes to mind if you want it to retain it's sativa qualities. Some sort of purple thai might be nice too. Oriential express maybe? (that's the thai from Casey Jones)
On the other hand letting my imagination go for a minute I'll speculate that durban poison, purple diesel, plushberry, gdp, and purple kush might all make interesting crosses, but I can't say for sure without seeing it finish. I've seen pictures of the buds, but I have no idea about the smell, taste, or strength of it so it's tuff to say for sure.
*disclaimer* I'm a total amateur when it comes to breeding.
It would take about 8 people to raise it and I don't bring anyone to my spot for any reason.
