UV-A
UV-A Strain Overview
UV-A is a rare heavily indica dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing the classic Purple Indica X Afghani #1 IBL strains. Even though it may be hard to find outside of Canada and the West Coast, UV-A is highly sought after by both breeders and patients alike thanks to its gorgeous appearance and easy breeding structure. The strain's name likely references its vibrant purple coloration and UV-reactive trichome coverage that gives it an almost luminescent appearance under certain lighting conditions.
UV-A buds have large and chunky minty green nugs with deep purple undertones, vivid orange hairs and a coating of super thick and frosty purple-tinted white crystal trichomes dripping with sweet sticky resin. As you pull apart each sticky little nugget, aromas of spicy pepper and hash are released with a notable punch of blueberry and grape to it as the nugs are burned. The flavor takes a slightly sweeter turn, with fresh earth accented by sweet berries and spicy grapes dancing across the tongue.
