D.P.S.
Also known as: DPS, Double Purple Star
What is the D.P.S. strain?
D.P.S. is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
D.P.S., commonly known as Double Purple Star, is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by breeder DJ Short through selective breeding techniques, though its exact genetic origins remain somewhat obscure in public records. D.P.S. is characterized by its distinctive purple coloration, which develops in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, giving the buds a striking visual appearance with deep purple hues contrasting against bright orange pistils.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, floral, and earthy notes. The plant typically exhibits a compact structure with broad leaves, making it suitable for indoor cultivation where space is limited. D.P.S. has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and unique terpene profile, though it remains less commercially widespread than many mainstream strains.
Notable features include the strain's adaptability to various growing conditions and its relatively short flowering time compared to other purple varieties. The buds often develop a frosty coating of trichomes that contributes to both its visual appeal and potency. While not as extensively documented as some commercial strains, D.P.S. represents an interesting example of boutique breeding focused on specific aesthetic and sensory characteristics.

How do you grow D.P.S.?
D.P.S. is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include temperature manipulation during flowering to enhance purple coloration - exposing plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks can intensify the purple pigmentation. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield.
