Purple People Eater Strain Overview
Purple People Eater is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (typically 70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing Granddaddy Purple, Pure Afghan, and Purple Urkle strains. Named after the 1958 novelty song, this rare strain is highly sought after for its stunning purple hues and potent effects. Though bred by unknown breeders, it has gained legendary status particularly in Northern California. The strain is characterized by its elongated dense buds with minty green nugs featuring rich purple undertones, bright orange hairs, and a thick coating of purple-tinted white crystal trichomes.
Purple People Eater offers a sweet and spicy fruity grape flavor profile with a spicy berry exhale, complemented by an aroma that is equally fruity with dank, pungent, and earthy overtones. The strain's distinctive purple coloration comes from anthocyanin pigments that develop when temperatures are dropped during the late flowering phase. With THC levels ranging from 16% to 27% and trace amounts of CBD (0.1-0.3%), Purple People Eater delivers a long-lasting high that begins with uplifting cerebral euphoria before transitioning into deeply relaxing body effects that can lead to sedation and sleepiness.

Purple People Eater Strain Growing Information
Purple People Eater is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain is highly resistant to pests and diseases, though it can be prone to mold due to its dense foliage. Indoor flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks, with yields of 14-18 oz/m². Outdoor cultivation produces larger yields of 15-20 oz per plant. The plant typically grows short and bushy with broad leaves characteristic of indica genetics, usually staying under 4 feet tall. To achieve the signature purple coloration, temperatures should be dropped by 31-59°F during late flowering to activate anthocyanin production. The strain thrives in moderate temperature and humidity conditions and responds well to low-stress training techniques.
