Purple #1

Description from Dutch Passion

Robust Purple Hybrid with Fast Flowering and Unique Aroma

Purple #1 is a strong, uniform purple hybrid cannabis plant with a balanced 50% Indica and 50% Sativa genetic profile. It is well-suited for outdoor and greenhouse cultivation, thriving even as a guerrilla plant. This strain typically reaches harvest readiness in September, making it an excellent choice for growers seeking a quick turnaround.

With an old-school Afghan aroma that combines earthy, tart, fruity, floral, and spicy notes, Purple #1 offers a complex terpene profile that appeals to connoisseurs. Its flavor mirrors its scent—slightly tart, earthy, fruity, and spicy. When grown outdoors on organic soil, the flavor becomes even more pronounced and rich.

Beautiful Purple Buds with Strong Visual Appeal

Purple #1 primarily exhibits purple phenotypes, though some green variants can also be found. These green phenotypes are often more potent and may have a slightly sweeter, fruitier scent than the purple plants. When grown outdoors, cold nights enhance the purple tones in both leaves and buds. The fully purple buds are particularly striking and have excellent visual appeal.

Origins and Genetic Background

Purple #1 is a legendary cannabis strain that originated in the 1980s. It was developed by crossing a special purple Afghan Indica with Sativa genetics, resulting in a robust outdoor plant well-adapted to the Dutch climate. This strain is known for its vivid purple hues and has been widely used by breeders to create new purple varieties.

Available in both regular and feminised versions, Purple #1 is a reliable choice for growers due to its resilience, ease of cultivation, and impressive yields. It responds well to training techniques like LST and HST and can be grown in pots or as a guerrilla plant.

With a short flowering time of around 8 weeks and the ability to produce long, airy buds up to 50 cm in length, Purple #1 is ideal for those looking for a fast, high-yielding outdoor strain. Its sturdy structure and weather resistance make it particularly suitable for moderate and wetter climates.

Purple #1 delivers a relaxed and euphoric high, reminiscent of classic Afghan hash. Its unique combination of appearance, aroma, and potency makes it a standout choice for both novice and experienced growers alike.
