Pauls Purple Fire
Also known as: Paul's Purple Fire, PPF
Pauls Purple Fire Strain Overview
Pauls Purple Fire is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its striking visual appearance and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Breeders reportedly crossed Purple Urkle with a potent Fire OG phenotype to create this distinctive strain, combining the vivid coloration of the former with the robust effects of the latter.
The strain is particularly noted for its dramatic visual presentation. During flowering, the buds develop deep purple and violet hues, often with contrasting orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the plant a frosted appearance. The coloration is most pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Pauls Purple Fire has developed a reputation among experienced users for its well-rounded effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's relative rarity means that comprehensive laboratory data and grower documentation are limited compared to more established varieties, but anecdotal reports suggest it represents a successful fusion of its parent strains' most desirable characteristics.

Pauls Purple Fire Strain Growing Information
Pauls Purple Fire is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Plants exhibit indica-dominant structure with bushy growth and medium height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To enhance the characteristic purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C/50-59°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, with some growers reporting enhanced terpene expression in organic soil grows.
