Purple Cow Strain Overview
Purple Cow is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain bred from parents Flo and Dairy Queen. The strain was first introduced by the enigmatic breeders known as "Unknown or Legendary," with its inception dating back to a time when innovators were pushing the boundaries of terpene expression and cannabinoid potency. Purple Cow leans more towards the sativa side (approximately 70% sativa-dominant), offering energizing effects that stimulate creativity and productivity. The buds are visually striking, bursting with chunky, resin-packed calyxes that can take on a slight purple hue at the end of the maturation cycle. The buds are dense and adorned with a unique purple hue that gives the strain its distinctive name, with microscopic inspection revealing a generous glistening of trichomes that can cover almost 80% of the bud's surface area. Purple Cow is characterized by its sweet, sour mango aroma that appeals to flavor connoisseurs. The strain gained humble notoriety for its bold aesthetic and sativa-dominant effects, which set it apart from many contemporary hybrids, with its reputation growing significantly in the early 2010s as more micro-cultivators experimented with its genetics.

Purple Cow Strain Growing Information
Purple Cow seeds produce plants that are moderately challenging to grow, fairing better in an indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be controlled. The strain's sativa qualities ensure a higher yield, making it favorable for people with a bit of growing experience. Purple Cow plants typically reach a medium height, which is quite manageable for indoor cultivation. Growers can look forward to a high output, given that adequate care and optimal growing conditions are maintained. The strain typically takes around nine to ten weeks of flowering time. This relatively short flowering period offers growers the advantage of multiple harvests within a single growing season. Typical of Sativa-dominant strains, Purple Cow has a long flowering period that usually lasts between 10 to 12 weeks. Mature plants usually produce 12 to 16 ounces of buds per square meter. Purple Cow requires extra care and attention. Its thin stalks and branches require additional support through staking or tying, and because the plant prefers a warm, sunny climate, it may have a hard time adapting to the colder weather of the northern hemisphere.
