What is the Purple People Eater strain?
Purple People Eater is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
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.
