Double Purple Kush
Also known as: DPK, Double Purple OG
What is the Double Purple Kush strain?
Double Purple Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Double Purple Kush is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition for its distinctive purple coloration and powerful sedative effects. The strain is believed to have originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to the clandestine nature of early cannabis breeding. Most sources suggest it was developed by crossing Purple Kush with an unknown indica strain, possibly another Kush variety, to enhance its color and potency. The strain emerged during the early 2000s as part of the Kush craze that swept through the cannabis community, though it never achieved the widespread commercial popularity of some other Kush varieties.
Visually, Double Purple Kush is notable for its striking appearance. The buds typically display deep purple hues that can range from lavender to nearly black, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense, resinous flowers. The purple coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. The strain produces a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The aroma combines sweet grape and berry notes with earthy, hash-like undertones characteristic of Kush varieties.
Double Purple Kush is known for its heavy, sedating effects that make it particularly popular among evening and nighttime users. The high typically begins with a cerebral euphoria that quickly transitions into full-body relaxation. Due to its potency and strong sedative qualities, this strain is generally recommended for experienced cannabis consumers rather than novices. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Double Purple Kush maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its aesthetic appeal and powerful effects.

How do you grow Double Purple Kush?
Double Purple Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, characteristic of indica varieties, reaching heights of 100-150 cm. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering.
