Anthocyanide
Anthocyanide
Also known as: Medicine Pop
Overview
Anthocyanide, also known as Medicine Pop, is an indica-dominant strain created by Cannabinopathic Conceptions through a carefully selected breeding program focused on anthocyanin production. This strain represents a sophisticated cross between Sausage Shaman (a Peyote Purple dominant selection) and Purple Pakistani Chitral, resulting in a unique cultivar that exemplifies the breeder's dedication to high anthocyanin content and medicinal aromatics. The name itself reflects the strain's most notable characteristic - its abundant anthocyanin pigment production, which gives the plant its distinctive purple coloration when grown under appropriate conditions.
The strain showcases the best characteristics of both its parent lines, combining the Peyote Purple lineage's stable purple expression with the hardy, cold-resistant genetics of Pakistani Chitral Kush. Anthocyanide exhibits a stocky, broad-leafed morphology typical of traditional indica varieties, with strong lateral branching that makes it well-suited for various cultivation methods. The plant's resistance to pathogenic fungi and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations make it a reliable choice for both novice and experienced growers. Its compact structure and robust nature reflect the influence of its landrace Pakistani genetics, while the rich terpene and essential oil production stems from its carefully selected Peyote Purple heritage.

Growing Information
Anthocyanide is suitable for indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation with a moderate difficulty level. The strain flowers in approximately 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) and produces average to above-average yields. Plants exhibit strong resistance to cold temperatures, pathogenic fungi, and environmental stress, making them ideal for cooler climates. The variety develops its characteristic purple coloration naturally due to high anthocyanin production, which is enhanced by cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering stage. Plants maintain a stocky, indica-typical structure with strong branching and broad leaves. The strain is available only in regular (non-feminized) seeds and responds well to standard indica cultivation techniques including topping and training methods.
