Purple Blueberry
Also known as: Purple Blueberry Kush
Purple Blueberry Strain Overview
Purple Blueberry is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary cultivars: Blueberry and an unspecified Purple phenotype. The strain emerged in the early 2000s through selective breeding efforts aimed at enhancing the desirable traits of both parent strains. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Purple Blueberry gained popularity among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and complex flavor profile.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accentuated by fiery orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. These visual characteristics result from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds typically have a tight, compact structure with a sticky resinous texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand.
Notable features of Purple Blueberry include its pronounced sweet berry aroma with subtle earthy undertones and its relatively fast flowering time compared to other indica varieties. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis markets despite the proliferation of newer hybrids, particularly valued by those seeking a balance between recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits. Its genetic stability has made it a reliable choice for both commercial growers and home cultivators.

Purple Blueberry Strain Growing Information
Purple Blueberry is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and finishes outdoors in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant 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. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Purple Blueberry responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
Special considerations include maintaining lower nighttime temperatures (approximately 10-15°C difference from daytime) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering to encourage purple pigmentation development. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are average, though growers should monitor phosphorus levels during flowering for optimal resin production.
