Violet Vortex
Also known as: Purple Vortex, Violet Dream
Violet Vortex Strain Overview
Violet Vortex is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed specifically for its striking visual appearance and balanced effects, combining genetics from established purple varieties with potent modern hybrids. While its exact breeding history is not fully documented in public records, it represents the ongoing trend in cannabis cultivation toward aesthetically distinctive strains with complex terpene profiles.
The strain is named for its distinctive coloration, which features deep violet and purple hues that develop in the flowers during the late flowering stage, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. The buds are typically dense and conical, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The leaves often display shades of dark green with purple undertones, creating a visually striking contrast. The aroma profile is complex, blending sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and subtle hints of spice.
Violet Vortex has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators for its reliable performance and visually appealing results. The strain is known for producing moderate to high yields of quality flowers that maintain their vibrant coloration through the curing process. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Violet Vortex has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate unique phenotypes and balanced hybrid effects.

Violet Vortex Strain Growing Information
Violet Vortex is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. 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 controlled indoor settings where temperature can be manipulated to enhance coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include implementing a temperature drop during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering (reducing nighttime temperatures by 10-15°F) to encourage the development of purple pigments. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
