The Purple Platinum strain will amaze with its potency and appearance. So many people call great weed “purp” whether it is purple or just smells like the dankest strain they’ve had in a while. This strain does deliver on the purple hue and potency that might be a bit too much for some smokers.

Lineage/Genetics Of Purple Platinum

Is Purple Platinum an Indica or Sativa?

Purple Platinum is a heavy Indica with just traces of Sativa. The strain has unclear genetics but it was likely grown on the west coast of the US. A number of strains have murky genetics as marijuana is not federally legal which leads to quite a bit of secrecy.

Another reason that breeders do not reveal genetics as they want to keep them for themselves. Far too many strains are given a bad reputation due to inferior growers which seed breeders want to avoid like the plague. Cookies Fam is a great example of those that do not sell seeds of certain strains they have perfected to keep the integrity of the strain.

The high is going to be relaxing as this strain is nearly a pure Indica. This means that the strain is not going to be great for daytime use as it can sedate you and cause you to fall asleep.

Even though the genetics are a bit murky, you can still find strains that are similar to Purple Platinum. If you want true relaxation like this strain offers you need to try Pineapple Diesel and Strawberry Haze.
