Ultraviolet
Also known as: UV
What is the Ultraviolet strain?
Ultraviolet is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Ultraviolet is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its visually striking appearance and well-rounded effects. The strain was developed by crossing the indica-dominant Black Cherry Pie with the sativa-leaning Cherry Pie, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history, Ultraviolet emerged in the early 2010s and has since become a favorite among connoisseurs for its unique combination of aesthetic appeal and functional effects.
The strain is immediately recognizable by its distinctive coloration, featuring deep purple and violet hues that often dominate the buds, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The name 'Ultraviolet' directly references this striking visual presentation. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage, making it particularly appealing to growers who value visual presentation.
Ultraviolet is known for producing a balanced cerebral and physical experience that many users find functional and manageable. The effects typically begin with an uplifting, euphoric head high that gradually transitions into gentle body relaxation without causing excessive sedation. This makes it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage. The strain has gained particular attention in the cannabis community for its reliable effects and exceptional bag appeal, though it remains somewhat less common than mainstream commercial varieties.

How do you grow Ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings but performs particularly well in controlled indoor environments where temperature can be carefully managed. During the final 2-3 weeks of flowering, exposing plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C or 50-59°F) enhances the purple and violet coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring regular pruning and training to ensure proper light penetration and air circulation. Ultraviolet is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but benefits from good ventilation and humidity control, especially during flowering.
