Hooch

Hooch is a modern cross between Slurty 3 and Street Guru (Gush Mints × Oreo). Slurty 3 provides very strong results and sweet flavours, while Street Guru contributes creamy and tangy notes. The result is a very flavourful, high-density strain that is ideal for extractions. The plant grows compact and branchy, is easy to cultivate and takes eight to nine weeks to mature – it also responds very well to FIM, topping and SCROG. Hooch impresses with its intense sweetness and sparkling undertones, making it the perfect strain for growers looking for something special.

• Lineage: Slurty 3 x Street Guru
• Genetics: mostly Indica
• Flowering: 9 weeks
• Smell: very sweet, gas, sugar
• THC: 28%

Purple City Genetics – Oakland, California

Purple City Genetics, or PCG for short, has been around since 2008. They are based in Oakland and started out as a cannabis collective. Over the years, as the cannabis scene in the States kept shifting, they adjusted too. These days, they breed for everyone from home growers to large-scale farms, but they still keep their quality standards high. They have picked up plenty of awards along the way at different events and cups. Their strains are easy enough for beginners setups to work with, but experienced growers will get a lot out of them too.

PCG’s catalogue is not just about yield – though they do that well – it is about flavour and potency too. They put out some pretty wild crosses, and their terpene profiles are always something to talk about. Sometimes they release small batch strains that disappear fast, so it is worth keeping an eye out.
