Purple Who
Also known as: Purple Who?, Purple Who Strain
What is the Purple Who strain?
Purple Who is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Who is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and potent effects. The exact origins of Purple Who remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed it independently. Most sources suggest it emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though some accounts place its development in British Columbia, Canada. The strain's name reflects both its purple coloration and the mystery surrounding its precise genetic lineage, with the 'Who' component often interpreted as a playful reference to the uncertainty about its parentage.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual presentation, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a remarkable color spectrum ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple, often accented with fiery orange pistils. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production, typically triggered by cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Purple Who's buds are typically compact and tightly structured, with a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of spice.
Purple Who is known for its potent, long-lasting effects that are predominantly relaxing and sedative, making it particularly popular for evening use. While not as widely available as mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a dedicated following among medical cannabis patients and recreational users seeking its specific combination of visual appeal and therapeutic potential. The strain's relative rarity means that authentic Purple Who can be difficult to obtain outside of specific regional markets or through specialized breeders who have preserved its genetics.

How do you grow Purple Who?
Purple Who is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature can be carefully managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include implementing temperature drops during the final weeks of flowering to enhance purple coloration, maintaining proper humidity control to prevent mold (particularly due to the dense bud structure), and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds become heavy with resin.
