Purple Haze

The exhilarating and untamed sativa essence of Purple Haze, similar to a raging river, will transport your consciousness to a world of vivid impressions and new ideas. The mind-blowing flavor and aroma will undoubtedly earn this strain a place in your personal ranking of top cannabis strains.

Genetics and Characteristics

Purple Haze is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (70/30) hybrid with a high THC content of 19-22% resulting from the cross of classic Purple Thai and Haze. In addition to its memorable organoleptic profile and lively effects, this strain has a stunning appearance that is particularly charming in the final weeks of flowering. Its slender sativa leaves take on a gorgeous purple hue as nighttime temperatures drop, while dense, dark-green flowers with a lavender tinge shimmer with an endless array of crystalline trichomes. Purple Haze is known for its rapid flowering indoors within 8-10 weeks, culminating in a harvest of 450-550 g/m² (16-19 oz). Outdoors, a crop of 500-700 g (18-25 oz) per plant is ready for pickup in mid-October.

Flavor and Aroma

Even in the flowering stage, the intense aroma of the buds quickly permeates all available space, leaving a trail of pepper, skunk, damp earth and sandalwood. When touched by a flame, the cured buds release a smoke with sweet berry notes mixed with pungent spices, underscoring the allure of the overall palette. The intense aftertaste with hints of blueberry and ripe tropical fruits will tempt you to refill the bowl or roll another joint.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

In addition to the invigorating sativa high and increased sociability, users may experience a kind of psychedelic nirvana that stimulates the imagination and opens up new possibilities for exploring hidden aspects of a true self. As the high unfolds, a physical aspect, characterized by mild relaxation with a simultaneous surge of strength and energy, takes over.

The broad terpene profile gives Purple Haze significant therapeutic properties, remarkably effective in alleviating depression, anxiety, PTSD, intraocular pressure, pain, and inflammation.

Cultivation

Unlike most sativa-dominant hybrids, Purple Haze delights growers of all skill levels with its resilience, adaptability, robust immunity and cool-climate tolerance. The strain's main requirements relate to nutrition, thriving best in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil amended with mycorrhizae.

When growing outdoors, pay special attention to the choice of location. It should be protected from gusts of wind and receive at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per day. Establish and maintain a consistent watering schedule and inspect plants regularly for pests and diseases. Preventive measures, including foliar and root treatments with natural insecticides, will greatly increase the plant's immunity and reduce the risk of problems.

Indoors, Purple Haze's potential is revealed in hydroponic systems with the use of ScrOG. During the vegetative stage, apply training techniques that shape a compact profile of the plant – LST, topping, mainlining. Maintain an optimal microclimate in the grow tent and ensure that plants receive a constant supply of fresh air, while oscillating fans create airflow around the canopy. Installing a heavy-duty, refillable carbon filter will help manage the distinctive odor during flowering and keep your hobby a secret from the neighbors.
