Purple Punch Pucker
Also known as: Purple Punch Pucker #1, Pucker Punch
Purple Punch Pucker Strain Overview
Purple Punch Pucker is a relatively new cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s as a phenotype selection from the popular Purple Punch lineage. Breeders sought to enhance the terpene profile and potency of the original Purple Punch, resulting in this distinct expression that combines the best traits of its parent strains. The strain represents the ongoing refinement of dessert-flavored cannabis varieties that have gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets.
The strain exhibits dense, chunky buds with deep purple hues that are often accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the flowers a sugary appearance, reflecting its genetic predisposition for resin production. The coloration is most pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a characteristic inherited from its Granddaddy Purple ancestry. The buds typically have a compact structure with tight node spacing, making them visually appealing to consumers.
Notable features include its exceptionally sweet aroma profile and balanced effects that appeal to both daytime and evening users. While maintaining the dessert-like qualities of its Purple Punch parent, this phenotype expresses more pronounced citrus and berry notes alongside the expected grape and candy flavors. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in several prominent cannabis publications for its unique terpene expression and reliable effects.

Purple Punch Pucker Strain Growing Information
Purple Punch Pucker is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors when given adequate space.
Indoor cultivation is recommended for optimal environmental control, particularly temperature management to enhance purple coloration. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions and outdoor growers achieving 500-700 grams per plant.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate phosphorus during the mid-flowering phase to support bud development. The strain exhibits good resistance to common pests and molds but benefits from preventative measures. Some phenotypes may require additional support for heavy colas in the final weeks of flowering.
