Top 9 Dopest Purple Strains in the Game

Yo, what’s good? My name is Dan and today we’re talking about one of the biggest obsessions in the cannabis community – purple buds. These bad boys are known for their high quality, bold terpenes, and extreme potency. Purple strains have been around since the beginning of time, and they’re still super popular to this day.

But yo, have you ever heard of anthocyanins? They’re water-soluble pigments that produce a wide variety of red, blue and purple hues throughout the flowering stage of cannabis plants. Basically, when you see Blackberry Kush or Panama Red with purple or reddish colors, it’s because of these anthocyanins. And it’s not just weed – fruits like blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries also have high concentrations of anthocyanins.

So what affects the anthocyanins in cannabis plants? Two things: climate and genetics. The colder the temperature during the flowering stage, the more likely the plant is to produce those beautiful purple hues. But not all cannabis plants can handle cold weather, which is why most purple strains are indica-dominant. Indica strains can be traced back to Afghan landrace genetics and they love a continental climate.
