Purple Pucker
Purple Pucker Strain Overview
Purple Pucker is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among enthusiasts for its distinctive appearance and flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders, but it appears to be a carefully selected phenotype from a lineage involving Purple Kush genetics. The name 'Purple Pucker' references both its vibrant purple coloration and the tart, mouth-puckering flavor notes that characterize this variety.
The strain's visual presentation is particularly striking, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a spectrum of colors from deep forest green to rich violet and purple hues. These colors are often accentuated by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production, which is typically triggered by cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are generally compact and tightly structured, with a sticky texture that indicates high resin production.
Purple Pucker is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, floral, and earthy elements. The flavor experience often begins with sweet berry notes that transition to a tart, almost sour finish, which gives the strain its distinctive 'pucker' quality. While not widely available in commercial markets, Purple Pucker has developed a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique sensory characteristics and balanced effects. The strain's rarity means that consistent quality and genetic stability may vary between different growers and batches.

Purple Pucker Strain Growing Information
Purple Pucker is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. 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. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Purple Pucker has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation and humidity control during flowering to prevent bud rot.
