Take Purple Punch, Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple, and the plant that set the modern standard for sweet, and put it over Apple Fritter, a Sour Apple and Animal Cookies cross that earns the pastry comparison instead of just borrowing it. That is Purple Punch x Apple Fritter. CSI breed off held clones rather than off seed stock, which is why the parents named on the pack are the actual plants and not their descendants.

Order matters in a cross name. In Purple Punch x Apple Fritter the Purple Punch side supplied the seed and Apple Fritter the pollen, and the reciprocal - the same two plants the other way round - is a separate breeding decision with its own results.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Purple Punch. Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple, and the plant that set the bar for sweet. Given as Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple.
• Father: Apple Fritter. A Sour Apple and Animal Cookies cross that earns the pastry comparison instead of just borrowing it. It traces back to Sour Apple x Animal Cookies.
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The nose is where these two argue hardest.

• The Aroma. Confected grape with berry and a muffin-like sweetness behind it from the Purple Punch side, against sweet apple pastry over a fuel edge from the Apple Fritter side.
• The Taste. Sweet candy-grape, vanilla and tart berry, closing on a faint earthy spice up front, turning to tart apple and pastry, finishing sweeter than it starts through the exhale.

The two halves, side by side

• They are not on the same clock. Purple Punch runs seven to nine weeks indoors; Apple Fritter runs eight to ten weeks. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Two noses, one pack. Purple Punch contributes grape candy first, then blueberry muffin and tropical punch. Apple Fritter contributes baked apple and sweet dough with a faint gassy edge underneath. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Structure varies hard here. Short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load from one parent; dense flower from the Cookies side; suits indoor or outdoor from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• Opposite ends. Purple Punch is reported as even rather than racy; strongly indica-leaning and settling; Apple Fritter as even rather than racy; settling. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Purple Punch is short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load. Apple Fritter is medium-sized, dense and resinous.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Purple Punch runs seven to nine weeks indoors, Apple Fritter eight to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Purple Punch as even rather than racy; strongly indica-leaning and settling.
• The Body. Apple Fritter is reported as even rather than racy; settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Their library is clones first and crosses second, which is why the names on their packs read like a list of plants rather than a list of products. Authentic Humboldt CSI genetics.
