Mendocino Purple BX1 Regular Seeds by Pirates of the Emerald Triangle
Mendocino Purple x Mendocino Purple F1, that is what is in this pack of Mendocino Purple BX1 seeds. This is a backcross, a deliberate move by Pirates of the Emerald Triangle to pull the F1 back toward the original Mendocino Purple line and lock in what made it worth keeping in the first place. What you get is a regular pack aimed straight at preservation and breeding work, not a quick weekend grow.
The Cross
Mendocino Purple runs through both sides of this cross, so the pack leans hard into that old-school Emerald Triangle profile: grape, cedarwood, and earthy wood in the nose, myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene carrying the terpene load. The backcross structure means less genetic drift than the F1 had, so the effects stay in that calming, relaxing, mildly uplifting lane the line is known for.
What to Hunt For
Expect a narrower spread than you'd get from the F1 itself, since a BX1 pulls the population back toward the recurrent parent. Still, this is regular seed, so sex the pack and expect some pheno variation even with that tighter lane. The keepers will show the grape and cedarwood nose loud, with the indica-dominant structure and calming effect that define the Mendocino Purple line.
Running It
Flower time runs 7 to 8 weeks, with moderate yield and moderate difficulty. This is regular seed, so budget for males in the mix and plan your space and feed around that reality.
Worth knowing: if you need uniformity out of the bag or you don't have room to grow out and cull males, skip this one. This is a regular BX1 pack built for people running a breeding project, not a plug and play garden.
The window: sixteen years I've spent tracking down lines like this straight from the breeders who made them, and Mendocino Purple BX1 is part of that collection. Federal law under Section 781 shuts down interstate seed sales in November 2026, and when that date hits, Seeds Here Now stops selling seeds entirely. No restocks after that, so what's on the shelf now is what's left of an era of direct breeder relationships that won't exist again in this form. If you're running a preservation or breeding project and this line matters to your program, get the pack now and don't wait on it.
