Purple Panty Dropper
Also known as: PPD, P.P.D, Purple Panties
Overview
Purple Panty Dropper is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Humboldt Seed Company through a three-way cross of Purple Haze, Oregon Grape, and Matanuskan Mist. Originally developed as Humboldt Seed Company's flagship strain, this cultivar has gained significant notoriety in the cannabis community for its distinctive deep purple coloration and reported aphrodisiac effects, earning its provocative name. The strain typically exhibits 70-75% indica dominance with 25-30% sativa influence, producing plants with uniform growth patterns and exceptional stability due to careful breeding through multiple generations.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appeal, featuring long, pepper-shaped buds with deep purple hues interspersed with bright orange pistils and a thick coating of lavender-colored trichomes. Purple Panty Dropper produces moderately dense flowers with a complex aromatic profile combining sweet floral notes reminiscent of concord grapes, berry undertones, and earthy base notes. Users report that the smoke has an unusually pleasant aroma, often described as resembling lavender rather than typical cannabis smoke. The strain's genetic stability and resilience make it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators, thriving in various environmental conditions while producing consistent phenotypes with minimal variation from the parent plant.

Growing Information
Purple Panty Dropper is considered suitable for growers of all experience levels due to its hardy genetics and resistance to common pests and mold. The strain has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks (49-70 days) indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring from late September to mid-October. Plants grow to medium-large size, reaching 5-8 feet tall both indoors and outdoors, with some reports of outdoor plants reaching up to 2 meters. Indoor yields range from 10-12 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 12 ounces to 3 kilograms per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers moderate humidity (40-50% vegetative, 30-40% flowering) and temperatures of 70-85°F during the day, dropping to 60°F at night. Plants benefit from training techniques like LST, topping, and SCROG methods. The strain shows excellent uniformity due to its stable F4+ generation genetics.
