Many cannabis aficionados, on the other hand, think the appellation has to do with the strain’s parentage. The consensus is that it is the bud child of Purple Thai and Haze, but of course, that is still up for debate.
What’s for certain is that Purple Haze is a treat for all the senses. It delights smokers with a sweet-spicy aroma and berry flavor. Backed by up to 20% THC, the bud provides a psychedelic experience that will expand your consciousness. You may find yourself ultra-stimulated and thinking more creatively. Physically, the high is energizing and relaxing in equal doses.
Purple Haze can be enjoyed solo or shared among like-minded friends. If you are toking it with your significant other, this marijuana bud is an efficient aphrodisiac as it encourages intimacy.
If you haven’t tried Purple Haze yet, you are truly missing out! Cannabis fans can consume the strain in various ways. Its dried flowers, oil pens, shatter, wax, and other concentrates are available in dispensaries and retailers. You may also grow your own stash using its regular, feminized, or autoflowering seeds. Keep reading for the low-down on this trippy weed, including how to grow its different seeds.

Purple Haze features the typical Sativa growth patterns. The cannabis plant is tall (in photoperiod form) and slim with a long and slender stem and branches. Its fan leaves are narrow and pointed, like fingers. In contrast to its supposed Haze cousins, this one is easier to grow in a range of conditions.
Come flowering, growers can expect little nugs with a tapering, pointy tip. Purple Haze’s buds have a moderately loose and fluffy structure, with sticky trichomes all over the surface, as befitting its Sativa background.
Purple Haze Feminized is a fantastic pick for novices because it’s remarkably easy to cultivate for a Sativa-leaning strain. Molds, mildews, and many of the illnesses that frequently affect cannabis are all resistant to the plant. Furthermore, it just requires a little amount of upkeep and TLC to thrive. This involves giving the plant’s stem and branches more support as they bear its heavily grown colas.
Purple Haze grows tall and lanky if left in its own ways. You may employ the Screen of Green (ScrOG) growing technique to make the most efficient use of a small space if you want to grow indoors to keep your gardening hobby private. To encourage this leggy pot to bush out and produce more lateral colas, consider low-stress training (LST), trimming, or topping. Fortunately, this strain responds well to a wide range of training methods.
If you have the financial means, invest in a hydroponic system. Growers will be able to boost or even maximize their plants’ bud output with this soil-free setup. When paired with ScrOG, yields of up to 500 grams per square meter after 9 to 10 weeks of flowering is possible.
If you’re growing plants outside, the harvest in the northern hemisphere occurs in late October, which is a fantastic time to harvest because it’s just before the first frost. Purple Haze grown outside needs lots of sunlight and fertile soil to flourish. The variety thrives in Mediterranean climates, where a single plant may yield up to 400 grams of fresh buds. Due to its robust nature, it can also survive in colder areas. However, the overall output will most certainly be lower, and you may need to bring the plant inside if the weather becomes too harsh.
The cold stimulates the pigments called anthocyanins, causing the brilliant purple colors to appear when this strain is subjected to lower nighttime temperatures. The shift in hue is solely cosmetic and has no bearing on the flowers’ aroma or taste.
Purple Haze Autoflower is created by crossing Purple Haze with a high-quality Ruderalis strain. This popular autoflower has its photoperiod sister’s many desirable qualities but is even easier to grow.
Plants grown from Auto Purple Haze seeds mature swiftly, in about 10 or 11 weeks from seed to harvest. You won’t have to wait long for the fruiting stage to begin, and you won’t have to stick to a strict lighting schedule. Autoflowering plants will start and continue to bear buds without any stimulation and regardless of the amount of light they get. Purple Haze autoflowering plants are modest in size. You may grow one at your home, in a grow tent, under the stairs storage, or in a grow cabinet.
Purple Haze autoflower may be grown indoors or outside and will thrive in any reasonably habitable environment. However, if you want to optimize the production of your grow operation, you’ll need to ensure suitable growing conditions. This includes, among other things, plenty of light, ample warmth, and a fertile medium. You can get a yield of up to 350 grams per square meter indoors and up to 150 grams for every outdoor grown plant.
