Purple Dragon Rider
Also known as: Purple Dragon, Dragon Rider
Purple Dragon Rider Strain Overview
Purple Dragon Rider is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two notable parent strains. The exact origins of this strain are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. It appears to have emerged in the early 2010s within the West Coast cannabis community, though its precise development history remains unclear. The strain's name reflects both its visual characteristics (purple coloration) and its reported effects profile.
The strain typically displays dense, conical buds with a distinctive purple hue that develops during flowering, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. The purple coloration often appears alongside vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually striking appearance. The buds are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The aroma profile combines fruity and earthy notes with subtle floral undertones.
Purple Dragon Rider is known for its balanced effects that reportedly combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's rarity means that consistent information about its characteristics can be difficult to verify, and phenotypes may vary significantly between different growers. Some sources suggest it may be a cross between Purple Kush and another strain, though this lineage information is not consistently documented across reliable sources.

Purple Dragon Rider Strain Growing Information
Purple Dragon Rider is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 120-160 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Purple Dragon Rider responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase to encourage the development of purple coloration. The strain is somewhat sensitive to overwatering and requires good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during the flowering stage.
