Purple Orange
Also known as: Purple Orange Kush, Purple Tangie
Purple Orange Strain Overview
Purple Orange is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the vibrant citrus characteristics of Orange strains with the distinctive purple pigmentation and relaxing effects of Purple varieties. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding programs, though its exact origin remains somewhat obscure with multiple breeders claiming development. It represents a deliberate attempt to create a balanced hybrid that offers both uplifting cerebral effects and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day.
The strain is visually distinctive, typically displaying dense, resinous buds with a striking contrast between deep purple leaves and bright orange pistils. The purple coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile combines sweet citrus notes with earthy undertones and subtle floral hints, creating a complex sensory experience.
Purple Orange has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and appealing flavor profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's genetics reflect contemporary breeding trends that emphasize both aesthetic appeal and specific effect profiles, though comprehensive historical documentation remains limited compared to more established cultivars.

Purple Orange Strain Growing Information
Purple Orange is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce larger harvests in optimal conditions. The plants tend to be of medium height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration. Purple Orange can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors that influence color development.
