Purple Freeze
Also known as: Purple Freeze OG, Purple Freeze Strain
Purple Freeze Strain Overview
Purple Freeze is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its visually striking appearance and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain in cannabis literature, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeders who sought to combine the relaxing qualities of indica varieties with the cerebral stimulation of sativas. The name 'Purple Freeze' references both the strain's distinctive purple coloration and its reported cooling, relaxing effects that some users describe as a 'freezing' sensation of calmness throughout the body.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a remarkable color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. These visual characteristics contribute to its appeal among both recreational users and cannabis connoisseurs. The plant typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a tight, compact structure that is common among hybrid varieties, though the exact morphology can vary depending on growing conditions and phenotype expression.
Notable features of Purple Freeze include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis communities for its ability to provide both physical relaxation and mental stimulation, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as extensively documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Purple Freeze has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its combination of aesthetic appeal and functional effects. Its relative rarity compared to more widely available strains means that specific characteristics can vary between different growers' expressions of the genetics.

Purple Freeze Strain Growing Information
Purple Freeze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature fluctuations that enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To encourage the development of purple hues, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (approximately 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Purple Freeze responds well to most training techniques including topping, low-stress training (LST), and screen of green (SCROG) methods. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests, but good air circulation is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
