What is the Purple Lush strain?
Purple Lush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Lush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its vibrant coloration and relaxing effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, though it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely developed through selective breeding of purple-hued phenotypes. Breeders aimed to combine the visual appeal of purple cannabis varieties with the potent, full-bodied effects characteristic of classic indica strains.
The strain is distinguished by its striking appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a spectrum of colors from deep forest green to rich purple and violet hues, often accentuated by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. These visual characteristics result from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The name 'Lush' references both the plant's vigorous growth and the deeply relaxing experience it provides.
Purple Lush is known for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and produces moderate to high yields. While not considered a beginner-friendly strain due to its specific temperature requirements for optimal coloration, Purple Lush has become a favorite among connoisseurs and medical users seeking both aesthetic appeal and therapeutic benefits.

How do you grow Purple Lush?
Purple Lush is considered an intermediate-level strain to cultivate. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet) with a bushy, indica-dominant structure. Special considerations include implementing temperature drops during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering (to 60-65°F at night) to enhance purple coloration. The strain is moderately resistant to pests and mold but requires good airflow due to dense bud structure.
