The story behind purple cannabis in general is a little unclear, but Afghan indica genetics from the Hindu Kush region are believed to run throughout most of the current purp strains on the market. More specifically, the violet hues of purple plants are thanks to anthocyanins, flavonoids that play the role of pigments in plants, and appear purple under certain conditions.
When it comes to the first popular purple strain, that title goes to Purple #1. Originally hitting the market in the 1980s, this cultivar was produced by Dutch Passion, and continues to be hugely successful.
With so many different strains to choose from, how do purple weed plants set themselves apart? Of course, the immediate draw is the unique, eye-catching colours these plants produce. And while their appearance is simply stunning, looks only get you so far. Thankfully, purple strains can back themselves up with a high THC content, which usually teeters around the 21% mark. So they're no slouches when it comes to potency. Thanks to a finely tuned array of terpenes and cannabinoids, purple weed is known to deliver a range of effects, from energetic euphoria to deep, soothing sensations.
Purple strains also offer up incredibly moreish flavours and aromas. Users can anticipate sweet notes alongside herbal and floral tones. The result is a mouth-watering mix that lends itself well to smoking, vaping, or creating concentrates. The possibilities are practically endless.
When growing purple cannabis, the process can be a little different from other types. To start, purple strains require more controlled temperatures to exhibit their unique colouration. Aim for around 25°C during the day and 16–20°C in the evenings. It might sound picky, but this will help to bring out the colours of your plant early on. Ideal pH levels can also play a part in encouraging vibrant purple hues from your plant. So choosing the right substrate can make all the difference.
If you're looking to forego additional steps, it might be worth picking up an autoflowering purple strain that will basically take care of itself. Want more information on how to grow purple cannabis in general? Check out our dedicated article explaining everything you need to know.
