Also known as: Purple Sweet, Purple Sweets Auto
What is the Purple Sweets strain?
Purple Sweets is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Sweets is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Sweet Seeds. The strain was created as part of Sweet Seeds' 'Red Family' line, which specializes in strains exhibiting purple coloration. Purple Sweets was bred by crossing two parent strains selected for their color expression, potency, and sweet flavor profile, though the exact parentage is proprietary information held by the breeder. The strain was introduced to the market in the early 2010s and has gained popularity among growers who appreciate its visual appeal and among users who enjoy its relaxing effects.
The strain is characterized by its striking appearance, with buds that typically display deep purple to violet hues, often contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The purple coloration is a result of anthocyanin pigments, which become more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage. Purple Sweets plants are typically compact and bushy, with dense, resinous buds that have a sweet, fruity aroma with earthy undertones.
Notable features of Purple Sweets include its relatively fast flowering time and its resilience, making it suitable for growers of various experience levels. The strain is available in both photoperiod and autoflowering versions, with the autoflowering variant (Purple Sweets Auto) being particularly popular for its ease of cultivation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Purple Sweets has established a niche following for its aesthetic qualities and balanced indica effects.

How do you grow Purple Sweets?
Purple Sweets is considered a moderately easy strain to grow, suitable for both beginners and experienced cultivators. The photoperiod version has a flowering time of approximately 7-8 weeks indoors, while the autoflowering version completes its life cycle in about 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically reach a medium height of 80-120 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors, up to 150-180 cm. Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it thrives in a controlled indoor environment or in warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climates. To enhance the purple coloration, growers can expose plants to cooler temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Purple Sweets plants have good resistance to common molds and pests, but proper ventilation and humidity control (below 50% during flowering) are recommended to prevent bud rot. The autoflowering version is particularly forgiving and does not require light cycle changes, making it ideal for growers seeking simplicity.
