Purple Gummy Bears
Also known as: Purple Gummy Bear, Gummy Bears
Purple Gummy Bears Strain Overview
Purple Gummy Bears is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its visually striking appearance and balanced effects. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Purple Punch with an unknown Gummy Bears phenotype, though some sources suggest it may involve other purple-hued genetics. Breeders aimed to create a strain with both aesthetic appeal and a pleasant user experience, resulting in a plant that often displays deep purple coloration alongside bright green accents.
The strain's name derives from its appearance and aroma profile. Mature buds typically exhibit dense, chunky structures with a thick coating of trichomes that give them a sugary, resinous look. The purple pigmentation, caused by anthocyanin production in cooler temperatures, can range from lavender hues to deep violet, often contrasting with vibrant orange pistils. The aroma combines sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of berry candies with earthy undertones, while the flavor profile delivers a smooth smoke with berry and grape flavors on the exhale.
Purple Gummy Bears has become particularly noted among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental uplift. The strain's popularity has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations in cannabis communities, though it remains less documented than many established commercial strains. Its appealing appearance and moderate potency have made it a favorite among both recreational users and home growers seeking visually impressive plants.

Purple Gummy Bears Strain Growing Information
Purple Gummy Bears is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet) and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. To enhance purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The strain is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation.
