    Has anyone grown out any of the free-to-veterans strain called Purple Heart? I have 3 beans on deck if I want to use them now. What’s it like to grow? What’s it smoke like? Overall impression?

    Rasta Jeff has a great Discord channel with all his strains, good source for looking up some grows of the Irie Army. Got a pack too 🙂

          Oh wow. I got mine right away. Is there a need for small-scale breeding of these seeds for others to have them? Would that even be okay? Could we get permission to essentially help out? If I have 3 femme plants, I’ll sts one, apply the pollen to the other two girls, and start selecting from there.

          Meanwhile, I grow out five clones (max I’m allowed) from the original two moms for the next round of pollen from the beans, this time selecting the traits you like about the plant. You have to do what, I think 3 generations of that to have something you consider stable? But, if people are waiting for these seeds and we get told it’s okay to help – I’ll absolutely do that as my first project in the new lab once I get the mylar up. I’m down to help our fellow veterans. I was a field corpsman with H&S Company, and prior to that Alpha Company of First Medical Battalion from sometime in 1997 until March of 1999. An awesome 2 years of my life. I taught mostly, I was both the Systems Administrator for, as well as an instructor with the Medical Education and Traning Section, or METS as we were called. I taught Medical Terminology, Combat Trauma Management, and the Medical Management of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warfare Casualties. This actually will come in handy tomorrow when we put up the initial layer of clear mylar to make a cheap field airlock to separate my grow room into 3 distinct zones. Office/hang-out area, grow room, with a combination drying room and quarantine room in the very back. A small zone, easy to make cold and dry, very very dry.

            You can do what you want with them, Rasta Jeff has said a few times he is cool with it. Glad you scored some 🙂. Im growing his RedLine now. Have to pace myself. I grow Amnesia haze for pain, its got a bit of CBD too.

          I can verify she is a stretcher. Mine has doubled in height so far. I’m only in week 3 of flower, so I’m not sure if she’s done stretching yet.

    I’m growing one now. Week 3 of flower. Just did some defoliating. She’s the one, as you look at the pics, front left.

      Nice!!! What would you say is total time, from germination to harvest, in days for yours?

        She sprouted on 5/5. I flipped her on 6/20.

        As far as time til harvest, I’m not sure yet as this is my first run with this strain.

        I’m only on my second grow, so I’m still learning myself.

        I have her in a 5 gal cloth pots on a ACI self watering base. Build A Soil Light and top dressed with Dr Earths flower girl on 6/10.

        There are a lot of variables there. Environment and nutrients including vegetation time. RJ has more information on Discord along with other folks that have grown this strain. I would suggest Discord for details. It’s under Feminized Seeds

      My dad is a Vet. I’ll see if I can score. Would try growing em myself but pretty sure that might be like stolen valor or something.

      Contact Rasta Jeff, and ask him.

      RE: Chronic Pain

      I have similar issues with my back, causing Sciatica, and this is the only way I can afford edibles.

      I met a retired hospice nurse, at a Xmas party, and she couldn’t stop talking about Curcumin Elite.

      I was on opioids at the time, and it worked so well for me, I put my 12 year Shepherd on it.

      Within a week he was even more playful, and was jumping up on my bed again, which he stopped doing at 8.

      I’m now California Sober.

      I would recommend the Double Dragon from IRIE Genetics for your chronic pain management with the Degenerative Disc issues I have the same issues with my Back and have had 2 different surgeries for it and the Double Dragon 🐉 🐉 is an excellent cultivar for chronic pain issues and you can function throughout your day because it doesn’t send you to the couch!

    I run her a few times , about a year ago. My opinion…..She’s a stretcher,, big yielder too. Let her go as long as you can,, 70 plus days at least.. First run for me was 67 days, tested 3 thc, 9 cbd. 2nd run went 72 days, tested 6 thc, 14 cbd. Super calming, smooth smoke. If u don’t tell no one it has cbd they will love it. Smelled gnarly when growing and drying, dirty sock funk. When I smoked it, was like drag race smell of burnt rubber, fuel, and cherry creamy, if u can imagine… painfree n calming , anxious to run her again when I run out.. something u don’t want to smoke all day long, time and place for it… hope yall enjoy

    I got one purple heart in week 2 of veg. I’ve grown cbd dominant before so I have a good idea it’s going to stretch a lot so I manifolds it. Get you a pic when lights on. Cbd cross so fast it can get away from you height wise I found.

      Yikes. Good point. But, that’s not a bad thing necessarily, as I do plan to take clones before I spray them with STS. That way, I collect the pollen from the master plant and then have however many clones I want to make seeds. I have a feeling that IF I were to do a full run like that, (I have 6 buckets and 4 soil pots) I’d end up with THOUSANDS of seeds. More than enough to do research for the rest of my life. LOL

        This is the purple heart 4 weeks from germination. Starting keeping her low early. Everything Rasta Jeff puts out comes out right.
