Also known as: North Bay Purple, North Bay Purple Kush
What is the North Bay Purps strain?
North Bay Purps is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
North Bay Purps is an indica-dominant cannabis strain that originated in the North Bay region of California's San Francisco Bay Area. The strain emerged from the region's vibrant cannabis cultivation scene in the early 2000s, where local growers developed it through selective breeding of classic purple varieties. It represents a regional adaptation of the broader 'Purple' family of cannabis strains that gained popularity for their distinctive coloration and relaxing effects.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a range of purple, violet, and deep green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production, which is typically enhanced by cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase. North Bay Purps produces a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance and contributes to its potent effects.
North Bay Purps has maintained a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts, particularly in Northern California, though it remains less widely distributed than some commercial purple strains. Its reputation centers on its visually distinctive buds and deeply relaxing properties, making it a sought-after strain for evening use and relaxation purposes.

How do you grow North Bay Purps?
North Bay Purps is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, which helps enhance its purple coloration. Indoor growers can achieve yields of approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors.
