Purple Kush x ISS
Also known as: Purple Kush x Island Sweet Skunk
Purple Kush x ISS Strain Overview
Purple Kush x ISS is a hybrid strain created by White Woods Genetics that combines the genetics of two distinct cannabis varieties. The female parent is the locally famous Purple Kush, described as a big stem indica with vigorous Afghani x Hindu Kush genetics that finishes around day 63, while the male parent was selected from F2 Island Sweet Skunk genetics, specifically chosen as a slim soft branched stretcher with thinner leaves. The breeder made this cross by revisiting the oldest seed stock from Island Sweet Skunk and deliberately selecting traits opposite to their usual preferences. This unique genetic combination creates a strain that balances the heavy indica effects of Purple Kush with the more energetic sativa influence of Island Sweet Skunk. During testing, variations were witnessed in stature, nug structure and aroma, from seriously knuckled nuggets to puffy/hairy round buds, to dense rock hard nugs on tall sticks with almost nothing to trim due to incredible resin coverage. The strain represents an interesting exploration of combining classic Kush genetics with the uplifting qualities of the renowned Canadian sativa Island Sweet Skunk.

Purple Kush x ISS Strain Growing Information
Flowering time appears consistent at 54 to 63 days regardless of phenotype. The strain is best suited for SCROG/trellising/pruning/bending techniques or lower light levels with the stretch of certain phenotypes compared to others. F2 generations were made from indica dominant male and female offspring to reorient the structure for future generations to be more manageable, as some phenotypes can stretch significantly. The strain combines the hardy growing characteristics of Purple Kush with some of the height and stretch tendencies inherited from the Island Sweet Skunk parent. Indoor cultivation is recommended with proper training techniques to manage height variations between phenotypes. Expected yields are moderate to good depending on growing conditions and phenotype selection.
