Triangle Kush 5150 x Purple Punch crosses Triangle Kush to Purple Punch, the Florida clone often credited with giving OG Kush its origin, named for the triangle of Jacksonville, Miami and Tampa against Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple, and the plant that set the bar for sweet. Neither is a filler parent, which is why this pairing is worth a pack rather than a look. Humboldt CSI work almost entirely from clones they hold themselves, so both sides of this are the real thing rather than a seed-line approximation of it.

5150 identifies the Triangle Kush used here. Numbered cuts come out of a population that was grown and sorted, and the number rides with the plant that was kept. Two crosses that both say Triangle Kush are only the same cross if the number matches too.

Triangle Kush sits on the seed side here, Purple Punch on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Triangle Kush. The Florida clone a lot of people credit with starting the OG line, named for the Jacksonville-Miami-Tampa triangle. Lighter on the pine and cleaner-fluid terpenes than its reputation suggests, which is why breeders pair it with louder cuts; Humboldt CSI's 5150 is their pick out of a large Triangle Kush S1 population.
• Father: Purple Punch. Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple, and the plant that set the modern standard for sweet. Built from Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The two halves stack rather than blend, which is the whole reason to run it.

• The Aroma. Classic OG earth and pine, noticeably restrained rather than loud from the Triangle Kush side, against confected grape with berry and a muffin-like sweetness behind it from the Purple Punch side.
• The Taste. Pine and earth carrying real OG weight, though it finishes cleaner than it opens up front, turning to sweet candy-grape, vanilla and tart berry, closing on a faint earthy spice through the exhale.

What each side brings

• Two different harvest dates. Eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy for Triangle Kush, seven to nine weeks indoors for Purple Punch. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives classic OG earth and pine, noticeably restrained rather than loud; the other gives grape candy first, then blueberry muffin and tropical punch. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Two frames in one pack. Triangle Kush is stocky and bushy at moderate indoor height, up to two metres outdoors; vegs vigorously and throws heavy foliage; takes trimming, defoliation and lollipopping well; dense bright green flower under heavy resin. Purple Punch is short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put Triangle Kush at the potent, focused end of the OG family and Purple Punch at even rather than racy; strongly indica-leaning and settling. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Triangle Kush is leafy and vigorous, filling a tent quickly and taking hard training in return for dense greasy flower. Purple Punch is short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load.
• 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. Triangle Kush runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy, Purple Punch seven to nine weeks indoors. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Triangle Kush as the potent, focused end of the OG family.
• The Body. Purple Punch is reported as even rather than racy; strongly indica-leaning and settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
