Purpose
Purpose Strain Overview
Purpose is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Compound Genetics, known for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains Animal Mints and Kush Mints, combining the potent genetics of two well-established lineages. Purpose emerged in the early 2020s as part of a wave of designer hybrids focused on both recreational appeal and potential therapeutic applications.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and dark green hues accented by vibrant orange pistils. The nugs are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a shimmering, crystalline appearance. Purpose is recognized for its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, earthy, and minty notes with subtle gas undertones.
Purpose has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its versatile effects. The strain represents a continuation of the 'mints' lineage trend in modern cannabis breeding, with breeders focusing on creating well-rounded hybrids that offer both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Purpose has developed a dedicated following in cannabis communities that value its balanced characteristics.

Purpose Strain Growing Information
Purpose is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure that may require training and pruning for optimal light penetration. Purpose responds well to techniques like low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation and humidity control during flowering to prevent bud rot.
