Purple Lemon Thai
Also known as: Purple Lemon Thai Sativa
Purple Lemon Thai Strain Overview
Purple Lemon Thai is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that combines the genetics of classic Thai landrace sativas with modern purple varieties. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it appears to have been developed by breeders seeking to preserve the energetic, cerebral qualities of traditional Thai sativas while introducing more vibrant coloration and complex flavor profiles. The strain represents a bridge between heirloom Southeast Asian genetics and contemporary breeding techniques.
Visually, Purple Lemon Thai plants often display striking coloration with deep purple hues that can appear on leaves, stems, and buds, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are typically elongated and fluffy with a sativa structure, featuring orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production, which becomes more pronounced under certain environmental conditions.
This strain is noted for its distinctive aroma profile that combines citrus notes with earthy undertones and subtle floral hints. The 'lemon' descriptor refers to the prominent citrus terpene profile, while 'Thai' indicates its genetic heritage from Southeast Asian sativa landraces. Purple Lemon Thai is considered a relatively rare strain in commercial markets, with most cultivation occurring among specialty growers and enthusiasts who appreciate its unique combination of traditional sativa effects and modern aesthetic qualities.

Purple Lemon Thai Strain Growing Information
Purple Lemon Thai is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. The plants typically have a flowering time of 10-12 weeks and can grow quite tall, often reaching 5-7 feet outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires adequate vertical space and training techniques to manage height. The strain prefers warm, humid conditions reminiscent of its Thai heritage but can develop more pronounced purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during late flowering. Yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor cultivation in suitable climates can yield 16-20 ounces per plant. The strain is resistant to most common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure.
