Purple Maroc

Purple Maroc is a rare gem for sativa connoisseurs. With stable genetics, large, resinous buds show increased resistance to high humidity, while a drop in temperature gives them a rosy hue and covers the buds with a thick layer of crystalline trichomes, opening up great possibilities for the production of potent extracts and hashish.

Genetics and Characteristics

Purple Maroc is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (80/20) strain derived from the sturdy and potent Purple Power (Dutch Dope x Skunk #1), crossed with the Moroccan landrace from the Ketama Valley, giving the strain adaptability and resilience. The result is an incredibly attractive, compact, fast-flowering (7-8 weeks) plant with delicate purple flowers surrounded by purple stigmas and deep-green fan leaves. Fans of concentrates should definitely try this strain, as the North African varieties like this produce the traditional Moroccan hashish that is so popular in Europe.

Flavor and Aroma

The organoleptic composition of Purple Maroc is an incomparable palette of sweet tropical fruits, ripe citrus, walnut, red grape, pungent skunk and subtle notes of herbs and spices. A light cheesy undertone with hints of hashish and earthiness completes the overall mix.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

A perfect wake-and-bake, or rather wake-and-smile, strain with a moderate THC range of 16-18%, Purple Maroc delivers an instant and powerful sativa boost. The world around you becomes brighter, the energy is incredibly invigorating, and the cerebral effects speed thoughts like a racing car.

The therapeutic value of the strain lies in the broad profile of terpenes and cannabinoids and their synergy, with the presence of moderate CBD and CBG within 1%. Purple Maroc effortlessly alleviates emotional disorders such as fatigue, stress and depression, promotes motivation and creativity, and stimulates appetite.

Cultivation

Even in cool climates, Purple Maroc is a hardy cultivar with a sturdy structure. Plant well-established seedlings in April or May, and by August they will grow into bushy 2-3 m (6.5-10 ft) "trees". For safety and discretion of your grow, consider using training techniques to form a low-profile plant starting at 2-3 weeks of vegetation. Indoors, the height of the plant will not exceed 160 cm (63 inches), which does not negate the use of SoG/ScrOG to increase yield potential.

While the strain was originally developed for outdoor cultivation, KADAMA's breeders have conducted professional research and created a stable genetic foundation for growers who prefer controlled indoor conditions. Purple Maroc tolerates slight temperature fluctuations but thrives in a carefully maintained environment with full-spectrum lighting, adequate air exchange, ventilation and constant monitoring of relative humidity. Pot capacity should be 20-25 liters (5.3-6.6 gallons). Best results are achieved with organic growing and the use of bloom boosters during the flowering stage.
