Purple Paro Valley Strain

Mandala Seeds Purple Paro Valley Cannabis Seeds

Purple Paro Valley was developed from a landrace Sativa that originates from the Paro Valley in West Bhutan at an altitude of 2.500 meters. The feminised hybrid is only two generations removed from the wild habitat. In this region the landrace has adapted to the harsh Himalayan climate of extended dry spells, monsoon rain, and cold winters. Purple Paro Valley (PPV) is recommended for cultivation in northern climates up to 56??N, or where high humidity is a concern. With global warming making outdoor cultivation increasingly unpredictable this resilient landrace hybrid can meet the challenge.

Thanks to her extreme durability she can cope with low temperatures better than most modern cannabis strains. At first glance her flexible branches look somewhat fragile and willowy. But the local Paro landrace can withstand strong wind and downpours. For the most part, Purple Paro Valley has inherited this feature. Nevertheless, it is recommended to support the plants if a storm is expected and not to wait and see! The mold resistance of the pure landrace and PPV is exceptionally high. The plants are also quite nutrient-efficient. Hybridising the landrace was essential to improve yield. Growing a large multi-branch plant will enhance yield further. Purple Paro Valley is especially suitable as a ???back-up strain??? in unfavourable climates. For example, a few PPV plants can be combined with a higher yielding strain for the north such as our Mandala #1. In very difficult locations, or in a season with exceptionally bad weather, Purple Paro Valley is perhaps the only reliable choice. Where other varieties have already failed before, there is still hope with this special strain! For guerrilla cultivation she is also an attractive choice because hardly any other strain requires such low maintenance.

Although the mother genetics are homogenous it did not turn out this way with the current feminised strain. This doesn’t have to be an undesirable factor. Diversity is an evolutionary strategy in nature to ensure survival. For that purpose, the diversity in PPV can play an important role in securing your harvest. We differentiate mainly between the green and the purple phenotype. The purple phenotype accounts for approx. 75 per 10 seeds and is very attractive and fascinating to watch during flowering. The green pheno is shorter in height, finishes flowering earlier, and the buds are also more compact. The purple plants have long internodes, which has to be taken into account when growing in containers or a greenhouse. Late planting and pruning is recommended in both situations. In a Mediterranean or hot climate the plants grow between 1.50 (green pheno) to 2 meters in containers if they are planted in June (northern hemisphere) and left unpruned. If a moderate size is desired, we recommend timing the planting season to allow for just one month vegetative growth. During this vegetative period pruning the main growing tip once should be sufficient. Purple Paro Valley responds well to LST (low stress training). Trimming the bottom shoots further simplifies plant care and increases the strength of the upper branches.

During flowering most plants develop a delicious spicy and green lime aroma. The citrus/lime scent is typical of the Paro landrace. But there is one type of plant that stands out and we call her ???candy girl???, because she smells just like sugary candy! When you crumble the dry buds they release a sweet, minty scent with a touch of hazelnut. The green phenotype tends towards lavender. The terpene linalool is responsible for the lavender scent and enhances the sedative, sleep enhancing effects, as well contributing to pain relief. Some of the purple plants can also smell like black tea, but the smoke still leaves a fresh, minty aftertaste on the exhale. PPV hash oil has the fresh, sweet, balsamic aroma of Himalayan cedar wood and has tested at 27,5 THC. The high is predominantly very relaxing or couch lock. It’s suitable for winding down, as a sleep aid, great to relieve hyperactivity and nervousness.

Mandala Seeds

Mandala Seeds: Heirloom Genetics for Your Growing Space During their extensive travels across the Indian subcontinent and other exotic countries renowned for their exceptional ganja, Mike and Jasmin, the future founders of Mandala Seeds, amassed an extraordinary collection of unique landrace strains. These strains were unlike anything commonly found on the European market during the 80s to mid-90s. Upon bringing these treasures back to Europe, they began crossing them with each other and with commercial Dutch varieties, sensing the immense potential they held. Their intuition proved correct, as the names of their strains now resonate with cannabis enthusiasts worldwide. Many Mandala strains have received multiple awards, and Hashberry and Satori were both honored as "Strain of the Year" by High Times magazine. Reviving Vitality and Diversity in the Seed Market Mandala strains possess not only extreme potency, unique effects, and complex flavors but also the natural vigor and resilience that seem to have been bred out, perhaps unintentionally, from commercial cannabis strains. Mike and Jasmin perceive this loss as a tragedy, having witnessed the destruction of natural cannabis habitats firsthand. They believe it is the collective responsibility of home growers worldwide to preserve the genetic strength and diversity of this plant for future generations. Fortunately, Mandala Seeds' collection has injected much-needed fresh DNA, revitalizing the market. Combining Science with Eco-Friendly Practices Established officially in 2004, Mandala Seeds benefits from Jasmin's background as a trained biologist with expertise in agriculture and horticulture. This scientific foundation has enabled the company to develop groundbreaking methods and practices in cannabis cultivation. Simultaneously, the founders deeply resent the profit-driven practices of modern capitalism, leading them to prioritize natural growing methods. At Mandala's facilities, an impressive 60% of their energy is derived from the sun, and they make every effort to use resources sparingly. As a grower, this means that Mandala strains are remarkably low-maintenance, requiring less powerful lighting, nutrient-rich soil, and water compared to many other varieties. Mandala Seeds' profound understanding of marijuana biology has even allowed them to reduce water uptake and evaporation by their plants. Consequently, their strains are undemanding and easy to cultivate. Mandala Seed Shop: Quality Takes Precedence Even today, the founders maintain a relatively small business operation because they believe expanding would compromise the quality of their offerings. They do what no one else does—limit the number of seeds produced by any single mother plant. As a result, Mandala's seeds are extra-large, packed with energy, and ready to thrive straight out of the package. There is no need for pre-soaking before planting. Despite the exceptional quality of their seeds and the genetics they carry, Mandala Seeds remains committed to keeping prices affordable. Mike and Jasmin firmly believe that growers of all income levels should have access to top-shelf cannabis. Mandala Seeds stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of its founders, offering heirloom genetics that captivate growers seeking exceptional quality, genetic diversity, and a commitment to sustainable cultivation practices.
