Also known as: Grizzly Purple, GPK
Grizzly Purple Kush Strain Overview
Grizzly Purple Kush is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain represents a carefully crafted cross between two legendary indica varieties: Purple Kush and Grizzly Kush. Breeders sought to combine the deep relaxation and distinctive purple coloration of Purple Kush with the robust structure and resin production of Grizzly Kush, resulting in a strain that has gained popularity among both medical and recreational users for its balanced effects and striking appearance.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a remarkable color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The visual appeal is matched by a complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, woody notes with sweet berry undertones and a hint of pine. Grizzly Purple Kush typically flowers within 8-9 weeks indoors and produces moderate to high yields when grown under optimal conditions.
Notable features include its resilience during cultivation and consistent expression of traits across phenotypes. The strain has maintained popularity in legal markets across North America, particularly in regions with cooler climates where its genetics thrive. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Grizzly Purple Kush has established a reputation among connoisseurs for its reliable effects and aesthetic qualities.

Grizzly Purple Kush Strain Growing Information
Grizzly Purple Kush is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates.
