Also known as: Dragon Punch OG
Dragon Punch Strain Overview
Dragon Punch is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular West Coast varieties: Dragon's Breath and Purple Punch. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine Dragon's Breath's potent effects with Purple Punch's exceptional flavor profile. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat proprietary, Dragon Punch has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive sensory characteristics.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a striking appearance. The flowers often display deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Dragon Punch's visual appeal is matched by its complex aroma profile, which combines fruity, gassy, and earthy notes.
Dragon Punch is known for its relatively fast flowering time and moderate growth pattern, making it accessible to cultivators of various experience levels. The strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets, particularly in states with established cannabis industries. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream varieties, Dragon Punch has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex terpene profile.

Dragon Punch Strain Growing Information
Dragon Punch is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 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 in warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climates. Plants typically reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to enhance purple coloration and monitoring for common pests like spider mites.
