Double Purple Doja

Double Purple Doja is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.

Double Purple Doja is a rare indica-dominant cannabis strain that gained cult status in the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was originally developed by the now-defunct Doja Seed Company, which operated out of Vancouver, British Columbia. Its exact genetic origins remain somewhat mysterious, though most sources agree it's a cross between Purple Afghani and an unknown indica strain, possibly with some Oregon Purple Thai influence. The strain became legendary for its exceptionally vibrant purple coloration and potent effects, though it has become increasingly difficult to find in recent years as the original breeders are no longer active.

The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, with deep purple to almost black buds that are often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production triggered by cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically dense and compact, with orange pistils that provide contrast against the dark foliage. The aroma is complex, combining sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of spice.

Double Purple Doja's rarity has contributed to its legendary status among cannabis connoisseurs. While it was never widely commercialized, it influenced numerous subsequent purple strains through its distinctive coloration and potent indica effects. The strain's limited availability means that many modern versions claiming to be Double Purple Doja may be different phenotypes or related crosses rather than the original genetics. Its legacy continues through its influence on the development of other purple varieties in the cannabis breeding community.
