Dark Purple Auto
Also known as: Dark Purple Autoflowering
What is the Dark Purple Auto strain?
Dark Purple Auto is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Dark Purple Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine the distinctive coloration and relaxing effects of purple indica varieties with the convenience of autoflowering genetics. The strain's exact origins are not widely documented in mainstream cannabis literature, but it appears to be a stabilized autoflowering version of traditional purple indica strains, likely incorporating genetics from Purple Kush, Granddaddy Purple, or similar varieties along with Ruderalis for the autoflowering trait. This strain is particularly noted for its striking visual appearance, with deep purple to almost black hues that develop in the flowers and sometimes the leaves during flowering, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures.
The plant typically exhibits classic indica morphology with broad, dark green leaves that may develop purple pigmentation. The buds are dense and resinous, often covered in a frosty layer of trichomes that contrast with the deep purple coloration. The autoflowering characteristic means the plant transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle, making it suitable for growers seeking a simpler cultivation process. Dark Purple Auto is generally considered a moderately potent strain with effects that lean heavily toward physical relaxation.
While not one of the most historically significant or widely documented strains, Dark Purple Auto has gained popularity among home growers and enthusiasts who appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and the practical advantages of autoflowering plants. The strain represents a modern breeding trend toward combining desirable visual and effect characteristics with cultivation convenience. Its exact genetic lineage and development history remain somewhat obscure in the cannabis community, with multiple breeders potentially offering similar autoflowering purple varieties under this or similar names.

How do you grow Dark Purple Auto?
Dark Purple Auto is considered a beginner to intermediate level strain suitable for growers with some experience. As an autoflowering variety, it has a fixed life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. The plant typically remains compact, reaching heights of 60-100 cm (24-40 inches) when grown indoors, making it suitable for limited spaces and stealth grows. It can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor cultivation possible in temperate climates during warmer months.
Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 300-450 grams per square meter (10-16 ounces per 3x3 foot area) under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants may produce 50-150 grams (2-5 ounces) per plant. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with warm days and cooler nights, with temperature drops during flowering often enhancing the purple coloration. Special considerations include avoiding high-stress training techniques since autoflowers have limited recovery time; low-stress training (LST) is recommended instead. The plant benefits from a light nutrient regimen and well-draining soil. Cooler nighttime temperatures (approximately 10-15°C or 50-59°F) during the flowering stage can intensify the purple pigmentation.
