Never ran ppv, but I have run the faster outdoor strain Mandala offers, Mandala #1. Great plant, one of, if not the best plants I have run out doors in Northern New England.
Ran m#1 and hashberry a few years ago, had mold/rot issues with Hashberry, just too dense. M#1 had zero issues. If I could find a vendor in the US, I would love to get my hands on more Mandala #1.
Any pics of the PPV?

I just hope it's not as lame as they say. 9-11% dont sound like much.
Did you make any seeds of this plant??

No, no seeds. Here are a couple of pics if the finished product.

Yesum, I just tried and I dont think there's anything wrong with the strain. What I do believe, is the thc is a lot higher than the stated 9-11% and people end up smoking way to much, believing, it's a inferior strain. I thought I would have to consume more because it's so weak, but that wasn't the case.

As for the taste, I cant really say. I have yet to cure all the way through and any opinion would be subjective. The smoke was heavy and I believe will be quite smooth upon further curing.
would have been a good plant to make fem, beans of.

Good to know. I live in Indiana and the mold kills me every year. This PPV had zero mold but I was spraying with cease, actinovate and copper once a week throughout flower. All biological fungicides, except for the copper of course. That actinovate works if you stay on top of it and spray after any heavy rains. 2 years ago I probably threw away 20% of my harvest due to botrytis. One year ago, maybe 3%, after using actinovate. This year zero mold. The national gaurd and state police did however cut down about 90% of my plants. Helicopters and everything. I cried a little bit. Had skunk #1, gorilla bomb, pineapple gum, PPV and BlackBerry kush. All beautiful plants till those fuckers swooped in with their illegal trespassing and search and seizure.

Hey I just ran across this strain thinking about throwing it in the mix of things and I was wandering would you recommend it? Hopefully you’ll reply to this

I have one in my flower tent right now. I put it in first week of May so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I pollinated a branch with a Durban/Pakistani Chitral Kush cross I've been working on. I'm going to do another branch with some Old Timers Haze pollen I have in the freezer.

A few more pictures of the PPV. Yeah I know the tips are burned. I was feeding it the same as some other plants and it's not a heavy feeder at all. Need to go light on the nutes. I cut the nute strength back awhile ago. It's starting to turn purple. It smells really nice. Probably another six weeks to go. I flipped it to flower the beginning of May so that would make 10 - 12 weeks of flowering depending on whether you count from the flip or when flowers show. I'll update with a smoke report when it's done.

I’m definitely interested in how it smokes!!!! I read that the high can be overwhelming but some folks like that. My decision will definitely be based off of your input. I wanna see what they’ll do outside in Florida
