Purple Ice
Overview
Purple Ice is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that stands out for its unique blend of euphoria-inducing and creatively stimulating effects, complemented by a moderate THC concentration typically around 18%. The genetics and precise lineage of Purple Ice remain unknown, with breeders maintaining secrecy around this strain, making it a true mystery in the cannabis world. However, it is widely believed among cannabis connoisseurs and breeders that this sativa-leaning hybrid may be the progeny of a cross between the legendary Purple Haze and the robust Ice strain.
Physically, Purple Ice nugs display a striking violet hue adorned with an abundance of glistening white trichomes, visually reflecting its rich genetic heritage. The tightly compact buds radiate a scent of mixed berries and fresh flowers, with oval-shaped buds occasionally tinged with violet, and trichomes that give this strain a sparkle resembling ice.

Growing Information
Growing Purple Ice can be a rewarding experience for both novice and experienced cultivators, as this strain is known for its easy grow difficulty, making it accessible to beginners. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 65 to 72 days (9-10 weeks) and thrives in a photoperiod setting. When grown outdoors, Purple Ice can yield around 15 to 20 ounces per plant (approximately 550 grams per plant), while indoor cultivation typically results in a yield of 1 to 2 ounces per square foot (around 400 grams per square meter). The plant reaches a height of approximately 30 to 60 inches both indoors and outdoors. Indoor growers must maintain temperatures within the 70-80°F range and manage humidity levels to hover around 40-50% during the critical flowering stage. The strain responds well to training techniques such as topping or low-stress training to enhance yields and manage plant height. Despite its name, Purple Ice is somewhat sensitive to colder temperatures, making it slightly tricky to cultivate in cold climates, though it can be grown outdoors if kept warm and dry.
