Great Purple Shark
What is the Great Purple Shark strain?
Great Purple Shark is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 11.5% THC, known for its relaxed effects and apple and berry flavor profile.
Great Purple Shark is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Natural Genetics Seeds through crossing a dispensary cut of Great White Shark with Mendocino Purple Kush. This strain exhibits a genetic composition of approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa, resulting in a robust plant that combines the resinous qualities of its Great White Shark parent with the compact flowering and faster growth characteristics of Mendocino Purple Kush. The strain requires approximately 63 days of flowering time and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors.
Great Purple Shark is distinguished by its sweet berry and earthy flavor profile, creating a smooth smoking experience that delivers deeply relaxing body effects. The strain produces dense, bushy plants with large, resinous buds that emit a potent aroma. While maintaining relatively moderate THC levels compared to some modern strains, Great Purple Shark compensates with its well-balanced cannabinoid profile and rich terpene content. The strain has gained recognition for its calming properties and therapeutic potential, making it particularly suitable for evening use and relaxation purposes.
