BC Purple Kush Strain Overview
BC Purple Kush is an indica-dominant cannabis strain that represents a British Columbia-grown variation of the classic Purple Kush lineage. Originally developed in Oakland, California, this strain emerged from crossing two legendary indica landrace strains: Hindu Kush from the mountainous Pakistan-Afghanistan border region and Purple Afghani. The 'BC' designation refers to its cultivation in British Columbia, Canada, where coastal growing conditions have contributed subtle differences to the strain's characteristics. This pure indica strain is renowned for its striking visual appeal, featuring dense, chunky buds with vibrant purple hues that develop when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The purple coloration comes from anthocyanins, plant pigments that become more pronounced in cooler climates. BC Purple Kush has earned recognition within the cannabis community for its potent relaxation effects and distinctive grape-like aroma, making it a favorite among indica enthusiasts seeking deep physical relaxation and stress relief.

BC Purple Kush Strain Growing Information
BC Purple Kush is considered relatively easy to cultivate, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. This indica strain grows short and bushy, typically reaching heights of 3 feet or less, making it ideal for indoor cultivation and stealth growing. The flowering time is 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by late September. Indoor yields average 400-500g/m² (14-15 ounces per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 250-300g per plant (8-9 ounces). The strain prefers warm, dry conditions with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and humidity levels of 40-50% during flowering. To achieve the characteristic purple hues, plants should be exposed to cooler night temperatures (around 50°F) during the final weeks of flowering. The strain is hardy and forgiving, responding well to pruning and training techniques like SOG (Sea of Green). Growers should monitor for pests and maintain proper ventilation to prevent mold in the dense buds.
