Purple Scones
Purple Scones Strain Overview
Purple Scones is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it appears to have been developed by crossing Purple Punch with Scone, two strains known for their dessert-like aromas and relaxing properties. Breeders aimed to create a cultivar that combined the visual appeal and sweet flavors of Purple Punch with the balanced effects and structure of Scone, resulting in a strain that has found favor among both recreational users and medical patients seeking moderate relief without overwhelming sedation.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual presentation, featuring dense, conical buds that resemble the baked goods for which it is named. The flowers typically display a vibrant palette of deep purple and forest green hues, accented by fiery orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The purple coloration, which results from anthocyanin pigments activated by cooler temperatures during cultivation, is particularly pronounced in the leaves and calyxes. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a dense, resinous structure that breaks apart easily.
Purple Scones emits a complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. When properly cured, the strain releases aromas reminiscent of grape candy, berries, and baked goods, with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. The flavor profile follows a similar pattern, offering a smooth smoke or vapor with sweet berry and grape notes on the inhale, transitioning to earthy, doughy flavors on the exhale. The strain's balanced genetic heritage provides effects that are neither overwhelmingly sedating nor excessively stimulating, making it suitable for various times of day.

Purple Scones Strain Growing Information
Purple Scones is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include implementing temperature drops during the final weeks of flowering to enhance purple coloration and ensuring adequate air circulation due to the dense bud structure. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
