PPP
Also known as: Pure Power Plant, Power Plant
What is the PPP strain?
PPP is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
PPP, commonly known as Pure Power Plant or simply Power Plant, is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by the Dutch seed company Dutch Passion in the late 1990s. The strain was created by crossing a potent South African sativa landrace with a carefully selected indica, resulting in a hybrid that maintains strong sativa characteristics while offering improved growth traits and flowering time. Dutch Passion aimed to create a reliable, high-yielding strain with consistent effects, making PPP one of their flagship varieties that gained popularity in European coffee shops and among home growers.
PPP plants typically display classic sativa features with tall, slender structures and long, narrow leaves. The buds are dense and resinous, often covered in a frosty layer of trichomes, with colors ranging from light green to deep forest green, sometimes accented with orange pistils. The strain is known for its relatively short flowering time for a sativa (around 8-9 weeks), making it more practical for cultivation than many pure sativa varieties that require longer maturation periods.
Notable features of PPP include its energetic, cerebral effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain has maintained consistent genetics over the years, contributing to its reputation as a reliable and predictable variety. While not as widely available in North American markets as some newer hybrids, PPP remains popular in Europe and among growers who appreciate classic sativa genetics with modern cultivation advantages.

PPP is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and finishes outdoors in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 300 cm outdoors if given space. Yields are typically high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions.
