What is the Purple Punch strain?

Purple Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and blueberry flavor profile.

Purple Punch is an indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) cannabis strain that has become one of the most celebrated and recognizable strains in modern cannabis culture. Originally created by Supernova Gardens and later popularized through Symbiotic Genetics, this strain emerged from the thoughtful crossing of two legendary California genetics: Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. The strain gained commercial prominence around 2013 when Supernova Gardens shared a cut with growers in Southern California, eventually leading to its widespread distribution through Symbiotic Genetics in 2017.

The strain is instantly recognizable for its predominantly purple coloration with just a few green streaks, rather than being a green plant with purple highlights. Purple Punch displays astonishing trichome coverage and emits aromas reminiscent of grape candy, blueberry muffins, and tart Kool-Aid. The strain has received several awards, including the Dutch Flowers Cup (2020) and the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup (2021). Purple Punch has become a cornerstone strain for modern breeding programs, serving as a parent for numerous popular crosses including Mimosa, Cherry Punch, and Slurricane, establishing itself as one of the most influential genetics of the contemporary cannabis era.

How do you grow Purple Punch?

Purple Punch presents medium growth difficulty, making it ideal for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks, with plants reaching maximum heights of 150cm outdoors and 90-150cm indoors due to its indica genetics producing short, stocky, and bushy growth. Indoor yields reach up to 21 ounces per square meter (600-650g/m²) while outdoor yields can range from 35-70 ounces per plant (1-2kg/plant). The strain thrives in sunny, humid climates and performs best outdoors in Mediterranean-like conditions. To achieve the signature purple coloration, growers should reduce nighttime temperatures to 70°F (21°C) or lower during weeks 4-5 of flowering. Main challenges include susceptibility to mold, pests, and caterpillars, requiring proper environmental controls and integrated pest management.
