Purple Honduras Haze
Also known as: Purple Haze Honduras, Honduras Purple Haze
Purple Honduras Haze Strain Overview
Purple Honduras Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that combines the legendary genetics of Purple Haze with landrace sativa varieties from Honduras. The strain emerged in the early 2000s when breeders sought to enhance the classic Purple Haze with the pure sativa characteristics of Central American landrace strains. This hybridization aimed to preserve the psychedelic, cerebral effects of traditional Haze varieties while introducing the distinctive purple coloration and tropical flavor profile of Honduran cannabis.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring elongated, spear-shaped buds that develop deep purple and violet hues as the plants mature, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during flowering. The purple coloration contrasts beautifully with the bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The aroma profile combines sweet berry notes inherited from the Purple Haze parentage with earthy, woody undertones characteristic of Central American landrace strains.
Purple Honduras Haze is known for its relatively long flowering period compared to modern hybrids, a trait inherited from its sativa-dominant lineage. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs and medical users who appreciate its clear-headed, energetic effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as some commercial hybrids, it maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those interested in preserving and experiencing traditional sativa genetics with enhanced visual appeal.

Purple Honduras Haze Strain Growing Information
Purple Honduras Haze is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. The plants typically require 10-12 weeks of flowering time indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires careful attention to temperature control, as cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60-65°F or 15-18°C) during the final weeks of flowering help enhance the purple coloration. Plants can reach considerable heights, often growing 6-8 feet tall outdoors and 4-6 feet indoors, requiring adequate vertical space and possibly training techniques like topping or SCROG (Screen of Green) to manage height.
Purple Honduras Haze prefers well-draining soil with balanced nutrients and benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. The strain shows good resistance to common molds and pests but requires careful monitoring during the extended flowering period. Growers should note that the long flowering time means plants are more susceptible to environmental stressors and require consistent care throughout the cultivation cycle.
