Purple U-DUB
Also known as: Purple U-Dub, Purple UW
What is the Purple U-DUB strain?
Purple U-DUB is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple U-DUB is a rare indica-dominant strain created by Alaska Cannabis Cache as a purple phenotype of the legendary UW (University of Washington) strain. According to the breeder's account, this strain was developed by crossing the original U-DUB clone mother with a 1975 Afghani, producing two distinct phenotypes - one green and one purple, with Purple U-DUB being the purple-dominant variant. The original UW strain has a legendary origin story, allegedly smuggled from the University of Washington's medical research laboratory in the early 1990s by a graduate student, giving it the nickname "cancer research weed" due to its reported effectiveness for medical cannabis patients undergoing chemotherapy. The strain features what the breeder describes as "cholcocine-induced mutant genetics," which can result in varying degrees of cannabinoids and sometimes produces polyploid buds of immense size. Purple U-DUB is described as a very hardy and dependable old-school strain that has been carefully preserved through seed creation to maintain its unique genetic characteristics. The strain displays beautiful purple hues that develop naturally due to genetic anthocyanin production, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. As an indica-dominant variety, Purple U-DUB maintains the sedative and deeply relaxing properties that made the original UW strain famous among medical cannabis patients and recreational users seeking powerful body effects.
