Deep Purple Seeds

Growing Tips for Deep Purple

Deep Purple is a great choice for beginner cultivators because of how easy it is to grow. Deep Purple marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to a warm, temperate climate. Deep Purple cannabis seeds grow into vibrant purple and green plants with bright white pistils and loads of resinous trichomes littering the bud sites. The plants are known for being bushy with tons of potent buds. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. This is especially important across many Canadian regions where weather can be unpredictable. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a small to medium height and can reach around 60–120 centimetres tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of approximately 120 centimetres, they can be grown in various smaller grow setups. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 21–29 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40–50% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant thrive. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Pruning, topping, and low-stress training (LST) methods are the most beneficial techniques for this strain. If performed correctly, these techniques will help to increase overall yields and improve bud production. These methods help to alter the canopy so that the plant allows light and air to reach the lower levels by trimming and pruning the limbs that are not producing. The Deep Purple strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. You will need to alter the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle in order to induce the flowering stage of growth.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Deep Purple strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50–60 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. This strain will produce moderate yields of bright purple buds.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers across Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Deep Purple: Fruity Citrus

The Deep Purple cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is ocimene, while limonene and pinene are the secondary terpenes.

• Ocimene: Most Dominant - Found in cannabis plants, this terpene is responsible for the plant's sweet, fruity, and citrus aroma.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene - Commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene may help with anxiety and supports general wellbeing.
• Pinene: Pine Needles - Pinene is abundant in conifer trees and pine needles and gives cannabis plants a pine-like flavour and aroma.
