What is the Purple Ryder strain?
Purple Ryder is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and floral flavor profile.
Purple Ryder is a historically significant autoflowering cannabis strain developed through a collaboration between legendary breeder Joint Doctor and underground breeder Mossy in the early 2000s. This strain is the offspring of a Lowryder x Mazar cross and a Red Chronic Ryder, creating a three-way hybrid that showcases both visual appeal and potent effects. Being an autoflowering variety, Purple Ryder is very manageable in terms of height, only reaching about 80cm, making it ideal for stealth growing operations.
The strain is renowned for its stunning visual characteristics, featuring strong effects and big, eye-catching purple buds with fat spade-shaped bright neon green nugs with reddish orange hairs, deep purple undertones and a frosty coating of tiny purple-white crystal trichomes. Its compact structure allows it to produce large purple nuggets covered in sticky resin while the leaves retain a vibrant green color. Purple Ryder represents an important milestone in autoflowering genetics, having been refined over several generations of careful selection to bring back this classic purple strain to modern growers.
