Purple Death Star
Also known as: Death Star Purple, Purple Deathstar
Purple Death Star Strain Overview
Purple Death Star is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two potent indica-dominant varieties: Death Star and Mendo Purps. The strain emerged in the early 2000s from breeders in the Pacific Northwest who sought to combine the powerful effects of Death Star with the distinctive coloration and flavor profile of Mendo Purps. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Purple Death Star gained popularity through the medical cannabis community before becoming more widely available in recreational markets in states where cannabis has been legalized.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant purple coloration, often with contrasting orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The purple hues result from anthocyanin pigments that develop under cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds typically have a compact, indica-dominant structure with a sticky texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand. The aroma combines sweet, fruity notes with undertones of fuel and earth, creating a complex sensory profile that many users find appealing.
Purple Death Star is known for its balanced yet potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained recognition for its consistency and reliability, with many growers appreciating its resilience and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Purple Death Star maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who value its unique combination of visual appeal, aromatic complexity, and balanced psychoactive effects.

Purple Death Star Strain Growing Information
Purple Death Star is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be manipulated to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-4 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy, indica-dominant structure. Special considerations include maintaining cooler temperatures (especially at night) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering to encourage purple pigmentation, and providing adequate support for the dense, heavy buds. The strain is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure.
