Purple Guava Strain Overview
Purple Guava is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive appearance and complex flavor profile. The strain is believed to have been developed through crossing Purple Punch with an unknown Guava variety, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from Guava Gelato or other guava-flavored strains. This combination results in a plant that inherits the vibrant coloration of its Purple Punch parent while incorporating the tropical fruit characteristics associated with guava genetics.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual contrast between deep purple and violet hues against a backdrop of vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The leaves often exhibit the purple pigmentation that gives the strain its name, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Purple Guava typically flowers within 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, producing moderate to high yields of aromatic flowers.
Purple Guava has become particularly noted among cannabis enthusiasts for its unique terpene profile that combines fruity, tropical notes with earthy undertones. The strain's balanced effects make it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on individual tolerance and dosage. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Purple Guava has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate visually striking cultivars with complex flavor profiles.

Purple Guava Strain Growing Information
Purple Guava is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Purple Guava requires good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense bud structures.
