Purple Punch OG
Also known as: Purple Punch OG Kush, Purple Punch OG #1
Purple Punch OG Strain Overview
Purple Punch OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two popular strains: Purple Punch and OG Kush. This strain was developed to merge the sweet, fruity characteristics of Purple Punch with the classic, earthy pine notes and potent effects of OG Kush. The result is a balanced hybrid that typically exhibits indica-dominant effects while maintaining some sativa characteristics. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create variations of the original Purple Punch with enhanced potency and structure.
Visually, Purple Punch OG is notable for its dense, chunky buds that often display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The purple coloration is most pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where temperature fluctuations can enhance anthocyanin production. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a structure that reflects its indica heritage while maintaining some of the OG Kush's characteristic bud formation.
The strain's aroma profile combines sweet berry and grape notes from its Purple Punch lineage with the earthy, pine, and diesel undertones characteristic of OG Kush. This complex terpene profile creates a distinctive sensory experience that has contributed to the strain's popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. Purple Punch OG is known for its balanced effects that typically begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation.

Purple Punch OG Strain Growing Information
Purple Punch OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Purple Punch OG can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature fluctuations that enhance purple coloration. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor plants potentially growing taller. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent bud rot due to the dense flower structure, and implementing temperature drops during late flowering (10-15°F difference between day and night) to encourage purple pigmentation. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
