Big Purps
Big Purps
Also known as: Purple
Overview
Big Purps is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by Dr. Greenthumb Seeds as an improved descendant of the renowned Kashmiri strain, also known as Kashmir Resin Factory. This strain originates from the Kashmir region and represents a refined version of traditional Kashmiri genetics that may trace back to ancient cannabis varieties from the Hindu Kush mountains. The strain gained recognition for its unique combination of relaxing indica effects with subtle uplifting qualities that some attribute to trace sativa genetics remaining from the original landrace genetics. Big Purps gets its name from the oversized, super-dense elongated buds that display deep olive green coloration with rich purple undertones. The flowers are adorned with long clear hairs and a coating of frosty purple-tinted white crystal trichomes that give each sticky nugget a glittering appearance. This strain is particularly valued for its high yields and distinctive visual appeal, making it popular among both commercial growers and cannabis connoisseurs seeking classic indica effects with unique aesthetic qualities.

Big Purps is considered a relatively easy strain to grow, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 18-24 inches when flowered from 8-10 inch cuttings, while outdoor plants can grow 3-6 feet tall. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 55-65 days (8-9 weeks) and is known for excellent yields, with indoor SOG setups producing 400-450g/m² and outdoor plants yielding 400-800g per plant. The strain finishes outdoors around mid-September to early October and shows excellent frost resistance in both spring and fall. Plants clone easily and respond well to training methods.
