Las Vegas Purple Kush
Also known as: LVPK, Las Vegas Purple
What is the Las Vegas Purple Kush strain?
Las Vegas Purple Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and coffee flavor profile.
Las Vegas Purple Kush (LVPK) is a member of the notorious Purple Kush family of California. This strain is primarily a cross between Purple Afghani and Hindu Kush, though other strains may be in the mix. While LVPK is an indica-dominant hybrid, it combines the sharp cerebral qualities of sativas with the body-heavy, sleepy effects of indicas. This genetic blend resulted in an indica-dominant profile, a respectable THC level of approximately 20% and a peculiar terpene bouquet, heavily influenced by aromas and flavours typical for Kush varieties. The strain is renowned for its striking visual appeal, often displaying deep purple hues that can appear almost black in some phenotypes.
LVPK is available primarily as a clone-only strain, making it quite rare and highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. With a dark, herbal taste and skunky smell, this strain is sure to provide users, especially kush lovers, with a satisfying medicated experience. The strain can actually get overwhelming in visual and body effects for even experienced smokers, with most people initially remaining immobile for about 2 hours due to its powerful effects.

How do you grow Las Vegas Purple Kush?
Las Vegas Purple Kush can be cultivated successfully both indoors and outdoors, producing vibrant, vigorous plants that reach medium heights but can also be kept on the shorter side if space is an issue. Outdoors, this variety can reach 200cm in optimal conditions. Regardless of the environment, Las Vegas Purple Kush is a good producer, yielding approximately 400g/m² indoors and about 550g per plant under the sun. Flowering time ranges from 63-75 days (9-11 weeks). Because of its shorter, bushy plants, LVPK makes a convenient indoor grow. Growing this plant can be challenging as it is a clone-only strain, so seeds may vary. The best way to grow the 'original' version is from cuttings from a single mother plant, though authentic seeds are rare and difficult to obtain. Indoor cultivation typically takes 8 weeks for flowering, requiring temperatures strictly maintained between 65-75 degrees, with plants reaching a maximum height of about 3 feet.
