Purple Punch Origins
Purple Punch crosses two of the world’s most popular strains, Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG. The Purple Punch weed strain takes after its parents. This indica dominant hybrid settles into the mind and body with equal vigor to deliver a balanced cerebral and physical state. Purple Punch also inherited its delectable flavor profile from these two legends. Larry OG’s earthy pine notes compliment Granddaddy Purple’s sweet grape and berry profile.
Purple Punch has plenty of myrcene, but not as much as Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG. Purple Punch’s most abundant terpene is caryophyllene, followed by limonene. These show up in copious amounts – so much that experts debate which of the two dominates. Other terpenes include linalool, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene. Breeders and home growers seek out Purple punch pot seeds because of their rich genetic legacy and robust terpenes.
Growing Purple Punch Feminized Seeds
Purple Punch weed is easy on the eyes. With an array of striking hues, Purple Punch has deep purple and forest green nugs and sun-like pistils in yellow, orange, and red shades. The massive nugs are dripping in a crystalline layer of frosty trichomes to complete the almost psychedelic appearance. The plant, which grows to 5-6 feet, is quite bushy, with hardy stems and massive buds with broad leaves.
Cultivate Purple Punch Cannabis seeds indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. This photoperiod plant requires plenty of sunshine, so be sure to set up adequate lighting when growing indoors. Outdoors increase light exposure to individual nugs through routine topping.
These are feminized Cannabis seeds. Female plants, contrary to male plants, are the ones that actually produce weed. They start flowering when they receive less light per day. i.e. in the fall or when you manipulate the light cycle indoors.
Cultivating Purple Punch marijuana seeds can be challenging and is not for those without experience. Watch out for caterpillars and mold. With the proper care and techniques, Purple Punch seeds produce a satisfying payoff. We advise reading our germination instructions for guaranteed results.
Preferred Climate
The Purple Punch marijuana seed is happiest in a Mediterranean, humid climate. Provide Purple punch seeds plenty of sunshine, humidity, and warmth for the best results. You’ll have success indoors, too, with a quality heating and lighting system. The SOG technique is a popular choice among cultivators.
The plant’s pretty resilient, but be wary of caterpillars, as they like Purple Punch and might destroy the beautiful plants. These plants grow densely – making their grow difficulty challenging – you’ll need to defoliate before the flowering stage to help prevent pest infestation, fungus, and mold. Defoliation also helps increase light exposure and provides better air circulation both indoors and outdoors.
