Purple Tesla
Also known as: Purple T, Tesla Purple
Purple Tesla Strain Overview
Purple Tesla is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the California cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains: the potent indica Granddaddy Purple and the sativa-dominant hybrid Tesla. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid with predominantly indica characteristics, though its exact lineage and development history are not extensively documented in mainstream cannabis literature. The strain gained popularity through word-of-mouth in medical and recreational cannabis communities, particularly on the West Coast of the United States.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically exhibit deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant green calyxes, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the buds a crystalline appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense bud structure, creating a visually appealing contrast. The purple coloration is most pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a characteristic inherited from its Granddaddy Purple parent.
Purple Tesla is noted for its complex aromatic profile and potent effects. The strain produces a sweet, fruity fragrance with notes of grapes and berries, complemented by earthy undertones and a subtle diesel aroma. When consumed, users typically experience a flavor profile that mirrors the scent, with additional hints of citrus and pine. The effects are characterized by a strong initial cerebral uplift followed by a deeply relaxing body high, making it popular among users seeking both mental and physical relief.

Purple Tesla Strain Growing Information
Purple Tesla is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce larger harvests in optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over temperature to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final weeks of flowering to encourage the development of purple pigments. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense buds.
