Purple Shot
Also known as: Purple Strain, Exotic's Purple Strain
Purple Shot Strain Overview
Purple Shot is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Seed, representing a modern breeding achievement that combines genetics from Purple Punch, Do-Si-Dos, and Exotic Colors. This strain exhibits a 75% indica to 25% sativa genetic profile, making it predominantly relaxing while retaining some uplifting qualities. The strain is distinguished by its dense, resinous buds covered in brilliant trichomes that contrast beautifully with dark green foliage and occasional deep purple hues, living up to its name with striking visual appeal.
Purple Shot has gained recognition for its rapid flowering cycle of just 8 weeks and robust structure, making it appealing to both commercial and home cultivators. User reports consistently describe high THC content, with some growers noting potency levels as being 'through the roof.' The strain produces exceptionally dense, sticky buds that are ideal for extraction purposes due to their heavy resin production. Indoor yields typically range from 450-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. This combination of visual beauty, potent effects, and practical cultivation characteristics has quickly established Purple Shot as a notable addition to the modern cannabis landscape.

Purple Shot is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it performs best in dry, sunny environments with low humidity levels. The strain has a rapid 8-week flowering period and develops a sturdy, robust structure.
