Old Peyote
Also known as: Peyote Purple, Old Peyote Purple
What is the Old Peyote strain?
Old Peyote is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Old Peyote is a rare indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed company Kannabia. The strain was created by crossing two landrace genetics: a Mexican Peyote Purple and an Afghani indica. This combination results in a plant that expresses strong indica characteristics while maintaining some of the unique traits of its Mexican heritage. The strain is particularly noted for its striking purple coloration that develops during flowering, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures.
The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its visual characteristics. 'Peyote' comes from the Mexican landrace parent, while 'Old' likely refers to the traditional genetics used in its development. Old Peyote produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance - the purple hues range from deep violet to lavender, often contrasted with bright orange pistils. The trichome coverage is typically heavy, giving the buds a frosty appearance that hints at its potency.
While not as widely available as commercial hybrids, Old Peyote has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate its unique genetic background and visual appeal. The strain represents a preservation effort of landrace genetics that might otherwise be lost in modern breeding programs focused primarily on high THC content and rapid flowering times.
