Purple Princess
Also known as: Purple Princess Kush
Purple Princess Strain Overview
Purple Princess is a predominantly indica cannabis strain known for its striking visual appearance and relaxing effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain in cannabis breeding circles, but it is generally believed to be a cross between Purple Kush and an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly a Hindu Kush variety. This genetic heritage gives Purple Princess its characteristic deep purple coloration and dense, resinous buds. The strain emerged in the early 2000s and gained popularity in the medical cannabis community before becoming more widely available in recreational markets.
The strain is visually distinctive with buds that display deep purple to violet hues, often contrasted with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a phenomenon caused by anthocyanin pigments in the plant tissue. Purple Princess typically produces medium-sized, tightly packed buds with a dense structure characteristic of indica varieties. The strain's aroma combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of floral fragrance.
Purple Princess is considered a moderately potent strain with effects that users describe as deeply relaxing and physically soothing. The high THC content combined with its indica-dominant genetics produces effects that are often recommended for evening or nighttime use. The strain has gained particular attention for its aesthetic appeal, with many cultivators valuing it as much for its visual presentation as for its effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Purple Princess has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis culture due to its unique combination of appearance and effects.

Purple Princess Strain Growing Information
Purple Princess is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in temperate climates with consistent temperatures.
Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, characteristic of indica-dominant genetics. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Purple Princess responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are average, though some growers recommend slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to prevent nutrient burn.
