About this release
8 weeks flowering, harvest time from sep 10-oct 30, depending on your northern latiudes. Very good against mold. Same as ERDPURT but with more greener phenos Erdbeer x Purpurea Ticinensis is Swiss "Knospes" original cross. Erdbeer(strawberry) has a funny story to it: "The Erdbeer is an industrial strain bread to flower quickly be moldresistant and machine harvestable ( hance the literaly rock hard buds ). It is said to be bread as a school project at a Swiss university to create the perfect swiss industrial ganja. Some seeds somehow got lost."
I first came across this strain in 1999, ever since it was always available as clone only, i was very impressed about their performance, tried to gather info from the guys who sold the clones. Nobody could tell me anything precise about the lineage or breeder.
There remains 1 most stubborn rumor that a hempfreak living with many squatters in a big factorycomplex in Zürich, made the original seeds. Probably it was never his intention to sell seeds. The squat was shot down by the police. Erdbeer was available at a few cloneproducers in the Züricharea. erdbeer slowly spread troughout all Switzerland beeing available at most hempshops, as clone & dried flower. "In 2001 i grew a few 100 erdbeers, 1 of them grew out a single male branch pollinating the "freakhermie" and a few other erdbeers. I was lucky enough to harvest these seeds. From these i started my erdbeer crossings.
In 2003 i was testing several diff strains, also planted alot of those "erdbeer#erdbeer", they performed way better than the original clone. There was some slight variation, but in general very uniform and no hermies. the very best ones "erdbeer#erdbeer" from seed i pollinated with 3 diff males: Purpurea, Liztiskunk1 and 2.
(btw, the same Purpurea male was used in the same year for Magic Bud#purp.) With all crosses i made with original erdbeers, i noticed that the erdbeer genes are very dominant. Erdbeer is a small round bush with rockhard nuggets." It won seve
