Purple Tears
Also known as: Purple Rain
What is the Purple Tears strain?
Purple Tears is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Purple Tears is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dirt Farmer Genetics through the crossing of Querkle (Purple Urkle dominant) and DelaHaze. This strain represents a pleasant twist on classic genetics, created by breeding Querkle and DelaHaze, with the breeder selecting an Urkle-dominant male to pollinate the DelaHaze female. The strain was developed by a breeder who was particularly interested in colorful plants, choosing a Purple Urkle-dominant Querkle male and crossing it with Delahaze, known for its sweet mango flavor and heavy resin production. The name "Purple Tears" originated when the first phenotype produced a purple-colored tear drop at the end of the meristem when topped.
Purple Tears typically exhibits characteristics leaning toward the Purple Urkle phenotype, though it has been known to occasionally produce a DelaHaze plant with sativa-dominant characteristics. Most phenotypes finish with pinkish purple to full magenta and dark purple buds, with a flowering time between 60-70 days. The strain is immediately recognizable by its pink and purple hues visible through glass containers, releasing an aroma of fresh grapes and hash when opened. The buds are characterized by small cone-shaped dusty green nugs with rich purple undertones, bright orange hairs, and a coating of light amber crystal trichomes that can appear almost purple under proper lighting.
