Purple Weed Strain Seeds

Purple Marijuana Strains

Purple strains have a striking purple color on the flowers, leaves and stems, with some verities even having purple trichomes. Thanks to our expert breeders, this amazing purple gene has been bred through multiple strains and now we have one of the strongest collections of purple marijuana strains available.

What Makes Weed Purple?

Cannabis plants turn a beautiful purple color all thanks their genetics. However, only marijuana strains high in anthocyanin, a type of flavonoid, (compounds rich in antioxidants and responsible for giving cannabis strains their pigmentation), will develop the most vibrant purple hues. Many strains will develop purple leaves, and as striking as this may be, it is the bud that growers are concerned with. If you want purple buds, you need strains that produce purple calyxes and pistils.

Even when you grow purple weed strains, the amount of color that you see in your final crop will be strongly related to the growing conditions that you employ. LED grow lights can help bring out the color in purple cannabis strains, as will exposing your plants to a cooler growing environment during its dark cycle. Care is required when lowering the temperature, which should remain at 65-70°F. If you are fortunate to live in a location with an accommodating climate, purple marijuana can be grown outdoors.

Why Are Purple Strains So Popular?

Purple strains are known for their strong Indica effects and relaxing highs, but what makes them so much more popular than other strains?

It's all about bag appeal. True purple weed isn't that common so if you can grow a cannabis plant with vibrant purple buds it stands out and looks unique.

What Sativa Is Purple?

Purple Haze is the most purple Sativa dominant strain. It is 60% sativa dominant and grows tall with a purple hue to its flowers. Purple Sativas are rare, but so our breeding team worked hard on perfecting Purple Haze just so that we could provide our sativa loving customers with a strain that has that same bag appeal.
