Purple Kush

Purple Kush is a classic indica-dominant variety known for its unmistakable purple hues, dense resin coating and a reliably heavy, relaxing character. Lab-tested THC typically sits between about 15% and just under 23%, with CBD negligible (under 0.5%), so expect a potent, sedating profile best suited to evening or low-activity moments. The smoke/taste leans sweet and fruity—berry notes with an earthy undercurrent—and many phenotypes show strong color development late in flowering. On the effects side Purple Kush settles into a calm, body-focused relaxation and is commonly reported to increase appetite. It’s more soporific than stimulating: users describe it as calming without being completely incapacitating for short periods, though higher doses push toward couch-lock and sleep. Because CBD is minimal, the effect is mainly driven by THC and the indica genetics. For growers Purple Kush is straightforward and beginner-friendly. It finishes flowering in roughly 8–9 weeks and typically stays an average height, so it adapts well to indoor setups and scrogs. Yields are considered high for an indica when grown properly—indoor output can hit several hundred grams per square meter and outdoor plants can produce very well in a full season. Plants tend to resin up heavily and many phenos will show purple coloration around mid-to-late bloom, while feeding needs are moderate compared with some heavier feeders.
