Anyone Try PacificCannabis' Purple Kush Recently?

1
Hey guys, I picked up some PK from PC and wanted to see if anyone else has tried the recent batch so we could compare. Doesnt seem like any purp I've ever seen.

Edit : I just want to make sure that everyone understands this thread is just to compare and contrast. I am not in any way bashing PacificCannabis. They have been nothing but fantastic up to this point. To update, it seems to have been an honest mistake and is being resolved.

Further Edit: A replacement has been sent, and is expected to arrive on Friday.

Yeah I didnt think so either. It has a sweet/citrusy smell to it that's kinda gassy. Reminds me of a Sour Diesel or something similar. I contacted PC support about it and sent them some pics, we'll see what happens. Theyve been great to deal with on every other order so I definitely dont want to jump the gun or make any wild accusations.

A lot of "purple" named strains don't necessarily have much purple in them, sometimes it depends on the grower. In my experience, Purple Kush is usually pretty green with slight hints of purple. Note that I didn't get this strain often, but I wouldn't classify it as a purple-looking strain, it's mostly just the name. I had a sample from PC and it wasn't very purple but did have hints of it hidden inside.

Mine looks nothing like yours. This is pretty clearly not the same stuff as your sample. PK is my favorite strain so its pretty disappointing to receive a half pound of something completely different.

If this stuff was anything like SpeedGreens PGSC I would've had no issue with it. I like PGSC.

I'll admit looking at both side by side they don't look the same at all. Yours has a LOT more visible hairs than mine and no perceivable purps at all. Maybe they fucked up and sent you the wrong strain.

All that said, that stuff you got, is it any good?

The immense amount of hairs is what gave it away for me - unless it is PGR weed (although it's not as rounded as youd then expect)
It honestly looks like it has diesel or lemon genetics just based on the airiness paired with the hairs alone. Definitely is more of a Sativa looking bud for sure.

It's nothing special, but not bad either. I like the smell, the high is alright, nice and energetic, which reaffirms my sativa theory. I'd give it a 6.5/10(AA) rating if it was part of a review, but it's definitely not the AAA+ Purple Kush I was expecting.

Yeah, that's pretty much my exact thoughts. Sad because I loved their last PK and this batch was supposed to be better.
