This scrumptious purple plant comes out of Mendocino County,
in northern California, where she began as a clone-only plant
among the medical marijuana community. BC Bud Depot has
developed a stable cross to make Purps seeds available. The
Purps is a good in indoor and outdoor environments, finishing
well in a coastal British Columbia climate.
The Purps is a pungent girl with medium thick leaves and
green hues that turn more purple as the plant ripens. Her
moderate side branching makes her amenable to both pruning
for a sea of green garden, and, alternatively, encouraging her
to spread out as a multi-branch plant. BC Bud Depot prefers
growing The Purps in soil with medium organic feedings,
because it enhances the flavors in this smooth and complex
strain—hints of buttery caramel coffee and woodsy floral pine.
Indoors, The Purps reaches an average 3-4 feet (around 1 m)
at harvest, while outdoors she can grow to 6 or 8 feet (2-2.6 m).
Her height can be controlled by shortening the vegetative
phase, which may also influence her final crop. The Purps’s
indoor yields range from 1.5 to 2.5 ounces (40-70g) per plant,
while outdoor plants will produce 4-5 ounces (120-150 g) each.
These plants require 8-9 weeks to finish, which places harvest
in the last half of October. Although she is a hardy, pestresistant strain, the Purps is more suited for gardeners with a few crops under their belts.
The buds are tasty looking and smelling, with deep purple
coloring and a frosting of resin. The flavors are soothing and
tantalizing, lingering pleasurably on the tongue. The Purps
high soars into a longlasting purple haze of playful euphoria. It
produces an active, awake feeling with a very low burnout
factor. A nice antidote to depression, these rich flavored buds
turn the blues to the Purps.
