Apocalyptic Purple
Also known as: Apocalypse Purple, Purple Apocalypse
What is the Apocalyptic Purple strain?
Apocalyptic Purple is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Apocalyptic Purple is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its striking visual appearance and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s, likely developed by underground breeders who crossed classic purple varieties with high-THC indica genetics. The name references both its dramatic purple coloration and its powerful, potentially overwhelming effects for inexperienced users.
Visually, Apocalyptic Purple is notable for its deep purple to almost black foliage, often with contrasting bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosted appearance. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production, typically triggered by cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones.
While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Apocalyptic Purple has developed a reputation among connoisseurs for its potent sedative effects and unique appearance. The strain remains relatively rare in mainstream dispensaries but can sometimes be found in specialty markets or through specific breeders who have preserved the genetics. Its cultivation requires some experience, particularly to achieve the dramatic coloration that gives the strain its name.

How do you grow Apocalyptic Purple?
Apocalyptic Purple is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature conditions needed to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, typically reaching 90-120 cm indoors and up to 150 cm outdoors. Special considerations include implementing temperature drops during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering (to 13-16°C at night) to encourage anthocyanin production and purple pigmentation. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but require good airflow due to their dense bud structure.
