The Purp
Also known as: Purple, Da Purp
The Purp Strain Overview
The Purp is a notable indica-dominant cannabis strain that gained prominence in the early 2000s, particularly within West Coast cannabis culture. This strain is characterized by its distinctive purple coloration that develops during the flowering phase, giving it both its name and visual appeal. The deep purple hues typically manifest in the buds and sugar leaves when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The Purp produces dense, resinous flowers with a thick coating of trichomes that contribute to its potent effects. Known for its sweet, fruity aroma with earthy undertones, this strain has become a favorite among users seeking relaxation and stress relief. The strain's genetics are somewhat disputed, but it's believed to be descended from various purple-tinted landrace strains, possibly including Purple Afghani genetics. Its popularity helped establish the foundation for many modern purple cannabis varieties that followed.

The Purp Strain Growing Information
The Purp is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring attention to temperature control to achieve its signature purple coloration. Flowering time typically ranges from 8-9 weeks for indoor cultivation. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperatures can be managed during the final weeks of flowering. Plants tend to be medium height with bushy growth patterns typical of indica varieties. Yields are generally moderate to good when grown under optimal conditions.
