What is the Purple Octane strain?
Purple Octane is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Purple Octane is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by renowned breeder JBeezy at Seed Junky Genetics. This strain is a cross of (Biscotti x Sherb BX1) x (Jealousy F2), combining genetics from the GSC/Gelato family lineage. The strain is named for its gorgeous appearance, featuring beautiful small, rounded forest green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin light orange hairs and a frosty thick coating of deep purple-tinted white crystal trichomes dripping with sweet sticky resin. Purple Octane has become a staple of both Seed Junky's flower and genetics catalogs and can be found across North American dispensaries.
The strain's dense purple nugs break open to reveal wafts of high octane fuel with subtle hints of thick, fruity sweetness, like overripe grapes floating in a puddle of gasoline. The aroma profile features notes of sweet grapes with earthy, nutty undertones alongside floral hints of lavender and pine, and a musky bite of hops and lingering notes of diesel. Purple Octane plants are known to produce their iconic aromas as little as two weeks into the bloom phase, and as they mature, they become progressively darker and produce elongated, fat flowers completely covered in bright white resin. The strain has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community, with users praising its potent effects and complex flavor profile.
