Overview
Purple Cadillac, also known as Cadillac Purple, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dark Heart Nursery. This distinctive cultivar is a cross between Purple Urkle, The Black, and Blackberry Kush, combining the best traits of these respected parent strains into a unique and powerful indica. The strain earned its automotive-inspired name from its striking appearance and luxurious effects, evoking the elegance and prestige of a classic Cadillac vehicle.
The visual appeal of Purple Cadillac is one of its most distinctive features. The buds are dense and are dark green in color with hues of purple splashed here and there, while the strain is primarily purple and orange with a tiny bit of forest-green, with buds made of mostly violet leaves with thick furry clumps of blood-orange pistils. A thin layer of clear trichomes gives the buds a fuzzy look and is adorned with golden pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. This combination creates a visually stunning product that truly lives up to its prestigious name.
Purple Cadillac has earned recognition for its complex aromatic and flavor profile. The strain smells really good and is no different from any perfume you own, being floral with a distinct sweet flavor, while offering a berry-like aroma with strong grape associations and a hint of fruity, floral perfume. The flavor experience mirrors this complexity, providing berry sweetness with floral undertones, providing a pleasing taste experience that complements its effects.

Growing Information
Dark Heart Nursery warns of Purple Cadillac's growing difficulty and recommends the strain for more experienced cultivators. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors but thrives better indoors because of the grower's ability to manage the climate. The flowering period is 7-8 weeks indoors, with some sources reporting 8-10 weeks, while outdoor growers can plan on harvesting around mid-to-late October. Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Plants grow short and can reach around 1.5-3 feet in height, making them suitable for smaller grow areas like closets and balconies. The ideal temperature is around 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity levels of 40-70% during vegetative and flowering stages. Low-stress training (LST) and high-stress training (HST) methods are the best techniques for this strain.
