Purple Punch Strain

Purple Punch is a hybrid of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple.

Granddaddy Purple, created in 2003 as a medical strain, combines Purple Urkel and Big Bud for optimal relaxation. Larry OG, a mix of SFV OG and OG Kush, completes the lineage. The result is Purple Punch, a high-quality strain known for its soothing effects.

Purple Punch has a classic indica-leaning bud structure with dense leaves, vibrant yellow-orange pistils, and lighter-colored trichomes.

The aroma is a mix of grape and fruity notes with skunky, gassy undertones. When broken, the buds release a pungent blend of grape and purple flavors.

The taste is clean and fruity, featuring grape and subtle gas-like notes. It delivers a smooth, flavorful exhale with a soft, fruity finish.

Purple Punch, a hybrid of Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG, has a THC level ranging from 17-24%. Its effects are relaxing and sedative, with an uplifting mental buzz that promotes happiness and ease.

Due to its potency, beginners or those with low tolerance should start with a small dose. Effects can last several hours, so plan use accordingly. Purple Punch suits both recreational and medicinal purposes, offering a balanced experience for various needs.

Purple Punch thrives in abundant light. Its large, fan-shaped leaves maximize light absorption. For indoor cultivation, provide 600-700 watts per square meter. Outdoors, ensure the plants are in a sunny location.

Covering the plants during the growing season can enhance growth by allowing more light to reach the shoots.

Origin of Purple Punch Seeds

Purple Punch was bred in the USA by Supernova Gardens, with cuttings provided to a biodoscientist in 2013. Later, breeder Trey from Village refined the strain. Initially testing at 12% THC, further tests showed 18% THC, leading to its eventual popularity.

In 2017, Symbiotic Genetics and Village released the second generation of Purple Punch seeds in California. By late 2017 or early 2018, the strain gained recognition, even reaching the UK.
