Swayze

Swayze – Purple City Genetics

Swayze by Purple City Genetics is a modern mostly Sativa with a clear focus on appearance, vigour and terpene intensity. This strain is aimed at collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate exceptional appearances and powerful genetics. The strain is based on a cross between Oakland Piff (NYC Piff #3 x Gush Mints) and the 1987 strain, combining classic flavours with contemporary selection.

Swayze develops exotically scented plants with a striking structure and strong production, clearly distinguishing them visually from standard strains. Aromatically, it impresses with an intense yet creamy terpene profile: classic Piff, gassy notes and a soft, creamy depth create an unmistakable scent. With a relatively moderate flowering time for a sativa, Swayze remains predictable despite its sativa orientation and produces stable, consistent results – in keeping with the breeding philosophy of Purple City Genetics.

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.
