Spiked Punch (Purple Punch x SinMint Cookies) brings Purple Punch together with SinMint Cookies. The first is a Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple cross that made grape candy a category; the second, the Forum Cookies cross that made Sin City's name nationally. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. Sin City have been running these house parents for over a decade. The value in a cross like this is as much in the known half as in the new one.

Order matters in a cross name. In Spiked Punch (Purple Punch x SinMint Cookies) the Purple Punch side supplied the seed and SinMint Cookies 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. That one comes from Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple.
• Father: SinMint Cookies. SMC - Cookies over Blue Power, and the strain most people meet them through. Given as given as Girl Scout Cookies, Forum cut, crossed to Blue Power. Bred in the early 2010s, and it is the cross that took Sin City from a Las Vegas name to a national one.
• Why these two. They are not variations on the same idea. They pull in different directions, and that spread is what makes a pack worth hunting through rather than just growing.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

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

• The Aroma. Grape candy first, then blueberry muffin and tropical punch from the Purple Punch side, against mint and cookie dough over kush from the SinMint Cookies side.
• The Taste. Sweet candy-grape, vanilla and tart berry, closing on a faint earthy spice up front, turning to the same - dough and mint, with kush underneath through the exhale.

What each side brings

• They are not on the same clock. Purple Punch runs seven to nine weeks indoors; SinMint Cookies runs sixty to sixty-five days, yielding three to five hundred grams a square metre. 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. SinMint Cookies contributes cookie dough with mint over a kush base. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. Purple Punch is short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load. SinMint Cookies is about sixty forty indica, with dense compact buds under trichome coverage heavy enough that they read almost white at harvest. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.

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. SinMint Cookies is compact and dense, and it finishes so frosted the buds read pale.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Purple Punch runs seven to nine weeks indoors, SinMint Cookies sixty to sixty-five days, yielding three to five hundred grams a square metre. 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. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
