Purple Cherry
Also known as: Purple Cherry by Positronics
Purple Cherry Strain Overview
Purple Cherry is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Positronics Seeds, created by crossing Purple Punch and Cherry Pie, both of which are descendants of the legendary Grand Daddy Purple strain. This carefully selected breeding combines the best characteristics of both parent strains, resulting in a cultivar known for its striking purple coloration and exceptional fruity aromatics. The strain was specifically developed to enhance the red berry colors and aromas that characterize both parent genetics.
Purple Cherry exhibits the classic indica growth pattern with a compact, columnar structure and short branching, making it well-suited for Sea of Green (SOG) cultivation techniques or low-stress training (LST) methods. The plants develop dense, compact flowers that are completely covered in resin, with internodal distances being notably short. When properly cultivated, this strain displays impressive purple hues throughout the flowers, a characteristic that can be enhanced by exposing plants to cooler temperatures during late flowering. The visual appeal is complemented by an intense fruity aroma profile that combines grape, blueberry, and red fruit notes with subtle musky and guava undertones, creating what many describe as a gourmand cannabis experience.
The strain's effects are distinctly indica-dominant, producing what users describe as a 'stone calm and relaxed' sensation that remains manageable rather than overwhelming. Despite its significant THC content, Purple Cherry is noted for providing relaxation without the heavy sedation often associated with high-potency indica strains. The flavor profile carries through from aroma to taste, delivering powerful and prolonged fruity notes with final hints of earthiness that enhance the overall sensory experience when consumed.

Purple Cherry Strain Growing Information
Purple Cherry is considered moderately difficult to grow and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks (60-65 days), with harvest occurring in early October for outdoor grows. The strain produces high yields of dense, resinous flowers both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants typically remain compact and manageable, while outdoor plants can reach up to 2 meters in height in warm climates. To enhance the characteristic purple coloration, growers should expose plants to lower temperatures during late flowering. The strain performs well with Sea of Green (SOG) techniques and responds favorably to low-stress training (LST) methods. Plants require warm, humid conditions with consistent temperature and humidity levels. When grown outdoors, Purple Cherry thrives in warm climates and benefits from protection against pests and fungal issues. The strain is known for producing hard, compact buds covered in trichomes, making it relatively easy to trim due to favorable calyx-to-leaf ratios.
