What is the SoPurple strain?
SoPurple is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
SoPurple is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Canadian breeder Next Generation Seeds. The strain was created by crossing the classic Purple Kush with an undisclosed indica strain, resulting in a plant that emphasizes the visual appeal and relaxing effects of its Purple Kush parent while adding unique terpene profiles and growth characteristics. First introduced in the early 2010s, SoPurple gained popularity in the Canadian medical cannabis market before spreading to recreational markets in legal jurisdictions.
The strain is particularly noted for its striking visual appearance, with buds that develop deep purple, violet, and sometimes almost black hues as the plant matures, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase. These colorful buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The purple coloration comes from anthocyanin pigments, which are more pronounced when plants experience temperature fluctuations between day and night cycles.
SoPurple has become a favorite among both cultivators and consumers for its reliable effects and aesthetic appeal. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following in the cannabis community, particularly among those who appreciate visually striking cultivars with potent indica effects. The strain represents a successful example of selective breeding focused on enhancing both visual characteristics and specific effect profiles.

How do you grow SoPurple?
SoPurple is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest outdoors in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and thrives in controlled indoor environments. SoPurple plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, usually reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C/50-59°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues.
