Polaris Purps
Also known as: Polaris Purple, Polaris Purple Kush
What is the Polaris Purps strain?
Polaris Purps is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Polaris Purps is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s. Breeders reportedly crossed classic purple indica genetics with Northern Lights or similar stable indica varieties to create this strain, though documentation is limited.
The strain is named for its striking visual characteristics, with buds that typically display deep purple hues accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The purple coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a trait inherited from its purple parentage. The dense, compact buds have a resinous texture and emit a complex aroma that combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones.
Polaris Purps is known for its balanced but potent effects that begin with a cerebral uplift before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's rarity means it is not widely available in commercial markets, but it has maintained a following among growers and enthusiasts who appreciate its unique combination of aesthetic appeal and reliable indica effects. Some sources suggest the strain may have been developed by boutique breeders focusing on preserving and enhancing purple cannabis varieties.

How do you grow Polaris Purps?
Polaris Purps is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a typical indica structure, remaining relatively short and bushy with dense internodal spacing. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks, while outdoor plants in the Northern Hemisphere are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. Yield is moderate, with indoor growers typically achieving 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions.
The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but performs particularly well in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be manipulated to enhance purple coloration. Exposing plants to nighttime temperatures of 10-15°C (50-59°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering can intensify the purple pigmentation. Plants prefer a stable environment with good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. Height is manageable, typically reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
