Notice: I did this review in 2010 on another site but I'm moving it here because they discriminate against posting reviews of certain seed companies. I don't go there anymore, needless to say! Some edits have been made to help gauge the strain against my newer reports. Edits are in Green!

Hi Gang!
It's time for another medical marijuana report from closed4fishing.

I popped 13 purple wrecks and had 9 females. I picked my favorite one and re-vegged it. Then I took 9 clones from the mother; this is the report.

Strain: Purple Wreck
Breeder: Reserva Privada
Grower: closed4fishing
Grow Info:
400W DWC, Co2, Advanced Nutrients Connosieur, Big Bud, Overdrive and Carboload. 1 Week veg, 9 weeks flower with 14 day flush. Dried 14 days and into jars for curing. Dry weight from 9 clones was only about 3.5oz. The mother I picked was low yielding but super purple and tasty. The high was incredible. The high was good but not in my top 10.

Cure at time of smoke test:
60 days

Bag Appeal: A+
Beautiful light lavender coloring with some florescent greens and beautiful rusty-colored orange hairs. Even after two years, this plant still looks beautiful to me.

Smell:
Impossible to describe because of how it varied from week to week with cure. On the plant it's a spicy floral smell but after curing I was able to smell coffee, nuts, berries and ultimately an oily incense smell. Ultimately, after about 50-65 days the bud seemed to lose some smell and take on a hashy, earthy aroma. Not on par with what I'm looking for but keep in mind this was an extremely purple low yielding pheno.

Taste:
Just like the smell, the taste changed with the cure too. About every 2 weeks I would try it. At first the taste was very spicy with a hint of berry, but it soon took on hints of nuts, berries and coffee. Finally though, it started tasting really thick and incense like... almost like a lavender incense. The lavendar incense was gone after 45 days, and the hashy taste came out. I'm wondering if I even really tasted lavendar, although I'm pretty sure it was a lavendar/lilac taste for a bit. Probably more taste if I would have run the clones in soil instead of hydro. This was one of my last hydro grows.

Effect: The effect was very indica. Smoke too much and you will be on the couch. The nice part though was the length of the high. It lasted at least 3 hours and was very good for insomnia and back pain. Not the best for getting chores done but it was sure fun for jammin the guitar! The high was long lasting and didn't seem to lose any length with the cure. Although now looking back the high was good, but not on par with things I'm running now. I blame it on this being a hydro grow!

Possible Medical Uses

Insomnia (in medium/high doses)
Arthritis (in medium/high doses)
back/neck pain (in medium/high doses)

Final Thoughts:
A good strain for indica lovers. Some medicinal value and great tastes and smells. I didn't keep this going because I moved on but it was a great strain and I've got a couple seeds left

Questions? Ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Hope you enjoyed my report. If you could spare a little +rep for a brotha, I'd certainly appreciate it.

  • Dry weight from 9 clones was only about 3.5oz.​


Growing now... Not the news I wanted to hear :/

Is Purple Wreck a strand that possibly needs an abundance of light? Hopefully someone can ring in on this as my seeds just popped - I'm hoping to do better than .5 oz per plant :(

You need to keep in mind that I flowered 9 small clones. If I would have grown 9 from seed I would have gotten more than 2oz per plant. Hope that makes you feel a little better :lol:

Haha... Ya, that makes me feel better :) You have any tips about this strain? Anything you might have noticed that might be useful to my grow?
