Royal Purple Kush
Royal Purple Kush
Also known as: RPK
Overview
Royal Purple Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Emerald Triangle Seeds through crossing Black Afghani and Bubba Kush. This strain is typically 80% indica/20% sativa composition. The strain displays oversized fluffy dark olive green nugs with rich purple undertones and long twisty fiery orange hairs, and the buds are caked in a fine layer of almost translucent crystal trichomes and a sticky layer of resin.
Royal Purple Kush features vigorous vegetative growth that allows for a hearty infrastructure, resulting in multiple large, fragrant, THC-encrusted "castle" colas. The plant's purple coloring can be enhanced by dropping the temperature or feeding with gradually colder water in the last weeks of flowering. The distinctive sweet taste of the Black Afghani mother is enhanced by the peppery and fruit flavors of the Bubba Kush dad, giving Royal Purple Kush a complex, otherworldly flavor that has to be experienced. The strain is noted for being well-balanced, both energetic and serene, making it versatile for different times of use.
