Purple Trike
Also known as: Purple Tricycle, Purple Trike OG
What is the Purple Trike strain?
Purple Trike is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Purple Trike is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its striking visual appearance and potent effects. The strain is believed to have originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though its exact genetic origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles. It emerged during the early 2010s as part of the 'purple strain' trend, where cultivators selectively bred plants to enhance anthocyanin production, resulting in deep purple pigmentation in the flowers and foliage.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a remarkable color spectrum ranging from forest green to deep violet, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the floral structure. The trichome coverage is typically heavy, giving the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Purple Trike's aroma profile is complex, combining sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of diesel fuel, which becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart or ground.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time compared to other purple varieties and its adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain has developed a reputation among connoisseurs for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity, making it suitable for evening use without causing excessive sedation in moderate doses. Its visual appeal and consistent performance have made it a favorite among both home growers and commercial producers.

How do you grow Purple Trike?
Purple Trike is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but shows its best color development when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures (approximately 10-15°C differential) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. Purple Trike responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting that reduced nitrogen in late flowering enhances purple coloration.
