Violet Punch
Also known as: Purple Punch, Violet Punch OG
Violet Punch Strain Overview
Violet Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular indica-dominant varieties: Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG. This strain inherits the deep purple coloration and sweet berry flavors from its Granddaddy Purple parent while gaining structure and potency from the Larry OG lineage. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a visually striking variety with balanced effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that often display vibrant purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that become more pronounced with temperature fluctuations during cultivation. Violet Punch typically produces medium to large-sized plants with dark green leaves that may develop purple or violet undertones as the plant matures. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and a subtle citrus finish. The strain has gained popularity among both cultivators and consumers for its appealing appearance, balanced effects, and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements. While exact genetic lineage may vary slightly between different breeders' versions, the core characteristics remain consistent across most Violet Punch phenotypes available in the market.

Violet Punch Strain Growing Information
Violet Punch is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Plants typically reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase (around 15-18°C or 59-64°F) can enhance the purple coloration. The strain has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are average, with some growers recommending slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to prevent leafiness.
