What is the Purple OG #18 strain?
Purple OG #18 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Purple OG #18 is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Reserva Privada through crossing the legendary three-time Cannabis Cup champion The OG #18 with Purple Wreck. This carefully bred strain combines the potency and genetics of its renowned OG lineage with the impressive yields and purple coloration of Purple Wreck, resulting in a strain that delivers both exceptional effects and visual appeal.
The strain features a 70% indica and 30% sativa genetic composition, producing dense, fluffy dark green buds with prominent purple leaves, long thin amber hairs, and a thick coating of crystal trichomes. Purple OG #18 typically expresses its purple traits when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. The plants generally remain shorter in stature compared to pure sativas, making them more manageable for indoor cultivation.
Notable for being one of the few purple strains that delivers genuinely potent effects rather than just visual appeal, Purple OG #18 has gained recognition for its complex terpene profile that produces a distinctive grape and fuel flavor combination. The strain flowers relatively quickly in 8-9 weeks, making multiple harvests per year possible for cultivators.
