Babylon Purple
Also known as: Babylon Purple Kush, Babylon Purple OG
What is the Babylon Purple strain?
Babylon Purple is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Babylon Purple is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to be a phenotype selection from a larger Purple Kush breeding project. The name 'Babylon' references the ancient Mesopotamian city, suggesting a strain with legendary or epic qualities, while 'Purple' describes its distinctive coloration that develops under proper growing conditions.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the flower structure. The purple coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase. Babylon Purple produces a thick layer of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance and contributes to its potent effects. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, floral notes with subtle fruity undertones.
Babylon Purple has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced yet potent effects. While primarily indica-dominant, it contains enough sativa genetics to provide an initial cerebral lift before settling into deep physical relaxation. The strain has become particularly noted for its consistency when grown under optimal conditions, with experienced cultivators able to reliably produce the signature purple coloration and terpene profile that distinguish this variety from other purple-hued strains.

How do you grow Babylon Purple?
Babylon Purple is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants typically reach 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include implementing a temperature differential during the flowering phase (cooler nights around 15-18°C/59-64°F) to encourage the signature purple coloration. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity carefully during late flowering to prevent bud rot.
