Purple Yeti
Also known as: Purple Yeti OG
What is the Purple Yeti strain?
Purple Yeti is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Purple Yeti is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing two notable indica varieties: Yeti OG and a purple phenotype of an unknown indica strain. Breeders sought to combine Yeti OG's potent effects with the distinctive coloration and flavor profile of purple cannabis varieties. The strain gained popularity among medical and recreational users for its balanced effects and visually striking appearance.
Purple Yeti plants are characterized by their dense, resinous buds that display a remarkable color spectrum ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accented by fiery orange pistils. The purple coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma combines earthy, piney notes with subtle fruity undertones, while the flavor profile includes hints of berries, grapes, and a distinct diesel finish.
Notable features of Purple Yeti include its relatively fast flowering time for an indica-dominant strain and its adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions for its aesthetic appeal and consistent quality. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Purple Yeti maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its combination of visual appeal, aromatic complexity, and balanced effects.

How do you grow Purple Yeti?
Purple Yeti is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Purple Yeti prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include temperature manipulation during the flowering stage to enhance purple coloration (exposing plants to nighttime temperatures of 10-15°C) and careful nutrient management due to sensitivity to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
