Purple Kryptonite
Purple Kryptonite
Overview
Purple Kryptonite is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain that represents a potent cross between the legendary Purple Haze and Kryptonite strains. This strain has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain exhibits classic purple strain characteristics with dark purple spade-shaped nugs that are dense yet fluffy, featuring neon green leaves with rich amber undertones. These nugs are adorned with fiery orange hairs and a fine layer of crystalline trichomes and resin that indicate its potency. Purple Kryptonite has established itself as a versatile strain suitable for both medical and recreational users seeking a well-rounded cannabis experience. The strain offers users a unique onset pattern that begins with mild sativa effects producing a mellow cerebral head high with warming sensations in the back of the head and neck, followed by a gradual transition into relaxing indica body effects that can lead to sedation and couch-lock.
