Deep Purple
Deep Purple
Also known as: Bayside Purple
Overview
Deep Purple is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (85-90% indica, 10-15% sativa) created by TGA Subcool Seeds through crossing Purple Urkle and Querkle. The strain emerged from the West Coast breeding scene in the late 2000s during a resurgence of purple cultivars, with TGA Subcool Seeds being a pioneer outfit known for purple-leaning lines and aromatic complexity. The creation aimed to fix and intensify Purple Urkle traits while broadening vigor and resin output through hybridization. What separates Deep Purple from other violet cultivars is not just color, but a repeatable blend of grape-candy aromatics and hashy undertones. The strain's anthocyanin expression can push calyxes toward near-black hues under cool night temperatures, creating visual appeal without sacrificing resin density. This combination of aesthetic and functional traits has made Deep Purple a fixture in connoisseur circles since the late 2000s. Mature flowers commonly exhibit deep violet to near-black calyxes, contrasted by vivid orange pistils and a heavy frost of trichomes. The purple is not merely token; in optimized conditions, more than 60 percent of the calyx surface can show pigmentation, with sugar leaves inheriting the same coloration that can persist through cure when properly dried.

Growing Information
Deep Purple has 90% indica genetics and can be harvested after 50-60 days of flowering. The strain grows well inside and out with a flowering time of 49 to 56 days or mid-September outdoors, respectively. Yields tend to be average. It produces short, bushy plants due to its indica heritage. Deep Purple is not a heavy-yielder but surely an Indica of high quality. The strain has a pretty short flowering period of just 50-60 days. Lower the temperature at night during the last weeks of flowering for enhanced purple hues. Deep Purple regular benefits from being defoliated - use this technique to boost the yields. Pest and pathogen management should anticipate powdery mildew and Botrytis due to dense floral clusters. Prioritize airflow with oscillating fans above and below the canopy and maintain regular sanitation.
