The following will help inform you on all you’ll need to know about the Purple OG marijuana strain. 

Purple OG Strain Genetics

Is Purple OG strain an Indica or Sativa?

Purple OG is a balanced hybrid of Purple Kush and Ocean Grown Kush AKA OG Kush. Expect a pang of hunger which can be welcomed if you frequently have a lack of appetite. You are going to receive a nice body high which is no surprise due to the strain’s lineage. 

Purple Kush strain is a pure Indica that sports up to 22 percent THC. The strain can be perfect for those that struggle to sleep or relax. Reserve this strain for the end of the day as you will truly be sedated.

OG Kush strain has up to 25 percent THC and has created so many famous child strains. There is a citrus flavor that is a favorite of so many consumers. The relaxing high is nearly unmatched and the strain is mentioned quite frequently in popular culture. 

Purple OG Weed Strain Yield

You can expect anywhere from 15 to 20 ounces per plant outdoors. Indoors will have a lower yield that is totally dependent on the amount of space the plant has to grow. You are going to want to make sure the seeds that you get are from a reputable source.

Growing weed with seeds from the black market can result in growing a completely different strain than you have anticipated. The seeds you invest in are very important as even the best growers cannot overcome terrible genetics. 

Purple OG Pot Strain Flowering Time

The flowering phase of Purple OG lasts 7 to 10 weeks. This is a massive span so you have to watch your plants closely to see when harvesting will be best. Harvesting at different times in the flowering phase can even garner different effects. 

The appearance of Purple OG is light green with a frosty covering of trichomes along with bright orange hairs. The strain honestly looks pretty generic but its effects are what a smoker is looking for.

This is not one of the most potent strains on the market but it will definitely get the job done. Overconsumption can lead to a bit of anxiety or paranoia so you should toke with a bit of caution. Experienced smokers know how much they can smoke in a sitting but beginners might not possess this knowledge.

The flavor of Purple is amazing with notes of berry, grape, and diesel. The aroma is of pine and earth. The terpenes in this starin are Phellandrene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene.

Legal trouble is not worth it as you can find seeds in a legal manner. Head to a dispensary or contact a fellow grower to see if you can work on some sort of trade.
