Purple Punchsicle
Purple Punchsicle
Overview
Purple Punchsicle is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (65% indica/35% sativa) created through a double-cross of the legendary Purple Punch strain. This potent cannabis variety combines the sweet, dessert-like characteristics of its parent with enhanced potency and refined effects. Originally developed by crossing Larry OG with Granddaddy Purple to create Purple Punch, Purple Punchsicle represents an evolution of this beloved lineage through selective breeding techniques.
The strain is renowned for its striking visual appeal, featuring dense, spade-shaped buds with rich purple foliage accented by deep green undertones and amber pistils. The flowers are heavily coated in minty green and purple-tinted crystal trichomes, giving the buds a frosty, resinous appearance that reflects their high cannabinoid content. Purple Punchsicle typically produces THC levels ranging from 18-27%, with some phenotypes reaching the higher end of this spectrum, making it a potent choice for experienced users.

Growing Information
Purple Punchsicle can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate growing difficulty. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 52-61 days (typically ready for harvest around day 57), making it appealing for growers seeking quicker turnarounds. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 60-80cm and can yield 1-2 oz per square foot. The strain develops spade-shaped flowers with rich purple foliage studded with green trichomes. Like its Purple Punch parent, it maintains indica-dominant growth characteristics with short, stocky, bushy plants. The strain benefits from proper support during flowering due to dense, heavy buds, and responds well to techniques like LST (Low Stress Training). It thrives in controlled indoor environments and can also succeed outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates.
