What is the Purple Space strain?
Purple Space is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Space is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of two popular strains: Purple Kush and Space Queen. This genetic combination brings together the deep relaxation of Purple Kush with the cerebral stimulation of Space Queen, creating a balanced hybrid experience. The strain gained popularity in West Coast cannabis markets before spreading to other regions, though its exact origin remains somewhat obscure with multiple breeders claiming development.
The strain is visually distinctive with dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. Deep purple hues dominate the foliage, often appearing almost black in certain phenotypes, while bright orange pistils create a vivid contrast. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the buds a sparkling appearance that resembles a starry night sky, contributing to the 'space' aspect of its name. The purple coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during cultivation.
Purple Space is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain typically produces medium to tall plants with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques. While not considered a rare strain, Purple Space maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and aesthetic appeal. Its genetic stability varies between phenotypes, with some expressing more indica characteristics and others leaning toward sativa dominance.

How do you grow Purple Space?
Purple Space is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants prefer a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and thrive in controlled indoor environments. Purple Space responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing mediums. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C or 50-59°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The plants typically reach heights of 120-180 cm (4-6 feet) indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
