CULTIVATION: Indoor controlled environment with CO2 enrichment and double-ended high-pressure sodium lighting. Grown in coco/perlite mix in fabric pots using drip irrigation. Kobe produces small, dense, purple buds. POST-HARVEST: Wet-trimmed by hand. Dried and cured using Live Cure process. Like GSC, Kobe is difficult and extremely time-consuming to trim. BUD SIZE: Bud count per eighth between five (5) and nine (9), depending on retailer. LINEAGE: Cross between Purple Punch and LA Confidential. Named after Kobe Bryant. APPEARANCE: Small, dense colas with balanced calyx-to-leaf ratio. Calyxes are predominately purple with dark green sugar leaves and burnt orange pistils. Gives the flower an iridescent appearance. TASTING NOTES: Aroma is rich with spicy-pepper notes and has a herbal-mint taste. FUN FACT: Kobe is the fourth member of the Purple Punch family to make it on our menu – Mimosa, Cherry Punch, Purple Punch, and Kobe. Total cannabinoids of 24.8% are also the jersey numbers worn by the cultivar’s namesake – LA Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant.
