P.M.D.
Also known as: PMD, Purple Monkey Diesel
P.M.D. Strain Overview
P.M.D., commonly known as Purple Monkey Diesel, is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of popular West Coast genetics. The name 'P.M.D.' is an abbreviation that references its parentage and characteristics, combining elements from its Purple and Diesel lineage with the 'Monkey' component whose specific genetic contribution remains debated among cultivators.
Visually, P.M.D. plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that exhibit a striking color palette. The flowers often display deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant green calyxes, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. Orange pistils frequently weave through the buds, creating a visually appealing contrast. The strain's aroma is complex and immediately noticeable, blending fuel-like diesel notes with sweet berry undertones and earthy pine accents.
P.M.D. has become particularly noted among cannabis enthusiasts for its well-rounded effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though some users report it may be more appropriate for afternoon or evening use due to its relaxing properties. Cultivators appreciate P.M.D. for its moderate growth difficulty and reliable yields, though the strain's exact genetic lineage continues to be a subject of discussion within the cannabis community.

P.M.D. Strain Growing Information
P.M.D. is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. P.M.D. thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) methods to maximize yield.
