Purple Terps
Also known as: Purple Terps OG
Purple Terps Strain Overview
Purple Terps is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed in the early 2020s that has gained popularity for its distinctive purple coloration and complex terpene profile. The strain was created by breeders seeking to combine the visual appeal of purple cannabis varieties with exceptional flavor characteristics. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat proprietary, it represents a carefully selected phenotype from a breeding program focused on terpene expression and color development.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple, often with contrasting orange pistils. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production, which becomes more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Purple Terps produces a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance and contributes to its potent effects.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, floral, and earthy notes. The name 'Terps' refers to the strain's emphasis on terpene content, with breeders prioritizing aromatic compounds alongside cannabinoid production. While not as historically established as some classic strains, Purple Terps has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its aesthetic qualities and balanced effects.

Purple Terps Strain Growing Information
Purple Terps is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its color potential. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants in suitable climates can produce substantial harvests.
The plant typically grows to a medium height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. 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. Purple Terps prefers a stable environment with good air circulation and responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. The strain has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but benefits from preventative measures in humid conditions.
