Also known as: Purple Drip OG
What is the Purple Drip strain?
Purple Drip is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Drip is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2020s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis market. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the potent effects and appealing aesthetics of classic purple varieties with the resin production and flavor profiles of contemporary dessert strains. While its exact origin story is not widely documented in cannabis literature, Purple Drip has established itself through clone-only and seed distributions in California and Oregon, with several seed banks now offering stabilized versions.
The strain is visually distinctive, characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a striking color palette. Deep purple hues dominate the foliage, often appearing almost black in certain phenotypes, while vibrant orange pistils weave through the flowers. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the buds a glistening, "dripping" appearance that inspired the strain's name. The nugs are typically compact and resinous, breaking apart to reveal complex aromatic profiles.
Purple Drip represents a balanced hybrid with indica-leaning effects, making it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. The strain has gained attention for its combination of aesthetic appeal, potent effects, and complex flavor profile. While not as historically established as some classic purple strains like Granddaddy Purple, Purple Drip has carved out a niche among connoisseurs who appreciate visually striking cannabis with well-rounded effects.

How do you grow Purple Drip?
Purple Drip is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Purple Drip can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better control over the color expression through temperature manipulation during late flowering. Plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper nutrient balance (particularly phosphorus and potassium during flowering) and ensuring good air circulation around the dense buds. The purple coloration is genotype-dependent but can be enhanced by exposing plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (55-65°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering.
