Purple Magic
Purple Magic
Also known as: Purple Majik, Magic Purp
Overview
Purple Magic, also known as Purple Majik, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Ethos Genetics through crossing an Heirloom Purple clone with Mandarin Sunset. This strain emerged from the West Coast purple cannabis movement that accelerated in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when breeders were stabilizing anthocyanin-heavy phenotypes from Afghani and Kush backgrounds. Purple Magic represents a modern evolution of classic purple genetics, offering consistent violet-splashed flowers without compromising resin density.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appeal, featuring vibrant purple buds that can range in color from fuchsia to rust orange to nearly black, depending on phenotype and growing conditions. The flowers are typically medium-dense with heavy, fleshy calyxes reminiscent of the original Purple Urkle. Purple Magic is celebrated for its complex terpene profile offering notes of cotton candy, blueberry muffins, grapes, and gas, creating what users describe as a blueberry cotton candy flavor experience. This cultivar has gained popularity among both growers and consumers for its balanced effects that provide mental euphoria with body-calming properties, making it suitable for both evening relaxation and functional daytime use by experienced consumers.

Growing Information
Purple Magic is considered a relatively easy strain to grow, suitable for cultivators of all experience levels. It features compact growth with strong lateral branching and fast maturity, making it excellent for perpetual workflows. Indoor flowering time is approximately 7-8 weeks (49-56 days), while outdoor harvests typically occur in late September to early October. The strain performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems, with soil preferred for enhancing terpene profiles. Indoor yields average around 600g per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 1000g per plant. Temperature should be maintained around 65-80°F during the day with slightly cooler nights. Humidity should be kept at 50-60% during vegetative stage, reducing to 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques and benefits from lower nighttime temperatures during late flower to enhance purple coloration.
