Purple Tarantula

When me and mah peeps went to the Beach Collective in OB, I was excited to show our friends how this was the Senor Frogs of coops.

I was instantly drawn to the Purple Tarantula (hybrid) - boasting big, beautiful, deep purple frosty buds. When the budtendress informed me it was only $35/8th, I was a little taken aback, thinking it must not be that good, and they must have better shit. They had some good shit, don't get me wrong, but the Purple Tarantula had me... and I had to have it.

I'm SO impressed with this $35 eight from the Beach Collective!

The hit... I was trying to pin point the taste. To me, it tasted like candy... like grape pez? No... like Pixy Stix? No... I know, I know - this totally tastes like Fruity Pebbles! Well, at least to me anyways.

It's a medium hit - definitely not as heavy as the Black Diamond, but it's a decent hit. I really like this stuff.

I think the reason it was so cheap was because it wasn't cured spot on. The buds felt a little heavy and wet at first, but as the week's progressed, I like the way this stuff is packing better. I wonder if my friend agrees... He went back for Purple Tarantula after admiring how wonderful mine looked!

Honestly, if this stuff was cured correctly, it would be even more fucking nuts. Like really fucking nutty. It would have been more expensive, and there probably wouldn't have been such good buds in the batch. An OG, like me, knows, that the best buds never make it to display, that the grower will keep them. Ahh, to be a grower one day and to keep the best buds for myself...

I've been on a real purple kick lately, and I'm happy to add this new strain to the list.
