Purple Goo
Purple Goo
Also known as: Purple Jah Goo, Purple Goo Strain
Overview
Purple Goo is an indica-leaning purple cultivar prized for its dense, resinous flowers and a grape-berry bouquet that lives up to its name. The 'goo' moniker nods to its heavy trichome coverage and sticky texture, reminiscent of classic resin-bomb lines like Afgoo and other Afghan-influenced hybrids. Where many purple strains lean toward dessert-like aromas, Purple Goo typically marries candy-grape notes with earthy spice and pine, creating a layered sensory experience. Like many popular purple cultivars, Purple Goo's precise origin is a product of craft breeding culture on the U.S. West Coast. While no single breeder claim is universally accepted, the genetic story most often involves an intersection between Afghan-influenced 'goo' lines and purple royalty traced to Northern California. This reflects a wider trend in the 2000s and 2010s, when prolific breeders married resin-soaked Afghan lines with purple-leaning phenotypes to maximize color, flavor, and potency. These beautiful large buds have navy green leaves, dark purple hues, and thick white trichomes layers. The core profile—a grape-leaning, resin-rich, calming indica hybrid—remains consistent, earning a niche as a dependable 'purple' that offers striking bag appeal without sacrificing depth of effect.

Growing Information
The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors. However, for outdoor cultivation it requires a warm semi-humid climate, like Mediterranean. Purple Goo plants are pretty short and bushy, which is perfect for indoor growing. If growing indoors, the average yield is about 400 gr/m2 and if outdoors – 550 gr/plant. The flowering time takes approximately 74-81 days and the best time to harvest is within 88-95 days. Purple Goo has a relatively fast flowering time of 49 to 63 days. Growers looking to highlight the strain's namesake purple colors should expose the strain to colder temperatures just before flowering. Optimal growth conditions include moderate temperatures ranging between 70-80°F during the day and slightly cooler nights. Humidity levels should be kept relatively low during flowering stages to prevent mold formation on the dense buds.
