The buds of Purple Arrow exhibit a mesmerizing array of deep purples and rich greens, with purple hues that can vary in intensity, ranging from a dark, almost blackish purple to lighter shades of lavender. These vibrant colors develop due to anthocyanin pigments in the plant's genetics, triggered by cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. Purple Arrow buds have small to medium-sized rock hard light minty green nugs with a spattering of bright fiery orange hairs, dusted with a fine layer of sand-like crystal white trichomes and a light layer of sticky resin. Purple Arrow is a hybrid cannabis strain renowned for its potent therapeutic effects and well-balanced recreational high, with its high THC content and moderate CBD levels making it a strain often sought after for its medicinal benefits while also providing a pleasantly euphoric and relaxing high.
