Also known as: Purple Morocco, Purple Moroccan
What is the Purple Maroc strain?
Purple Maroc is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and hash flavor profile.
Purple Maroc is a pure indica cannabis strain originating from the Rif Mountains of Morocco, where it has been cultivated for centuries by local farmers. This landrace strain was traditionally grown for hashish production, with its genetics preserved through generations of selective breeding in its native environment. The strain gained international recognition when Dutch breeders imported seeds from Morocco and stabilized the genetics for commercial seed production, introducing it to Western cannabis markets in the early 2000s.
Visually, Purple Maroc is characterized by its striking purple coloration that develops in cooler temperatures, particularly during the final weeks of flowering. The buds are dense and compact with a classic indica structure, featuring dark green leaves that transition to deep purple hues. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's name directly references both its distinctive coloration and its Moroccan heritage.
Notable features include its resilience and adaptability, having evolved in the challenging mountainous conditions of northern Morocco. Purple Maroc maintains the classic characteristics of traditional Moroccan hashish varieties, with a genetic profile that has remained relatively unchanged compared to many modern hybrid strains. Its preservation as a landrace strain makes it valuable for breeding programs seeking authentic indica genetics.

How do you grow Purple Maroc?
Purple Maroc is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest outdoors in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. It prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate similar to its native environment but can tolerate cooler temperatures, which actually enhance its purple coloration. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant typically reaches a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and exposing plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during late flowering to encourage purple pigmentation.
