🔮 Purple Kush Cannabis Seeds: The Ultimate End-of-Day Knockout
Looking to buy Purple Kush seeds and chase a true old-school heavyweight? This is the one. A legendary cross of Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, this near-pure indica brings a deep, body-heavy calm that melts the day away. She’s a classic for a reason — and the colour is as striking as the ride.
Quick Stats
Purple Kush is a near-pure indica (99–100%) testing around 22–26% THC (CBD: <1%). She finishes in 7–9 weeks indoors. Outdoors in Australia: North late March–early April • Mid early–mid April • South mid–late April. Matty’s tip: drop night temps by 5–10 °C in the final weeks to pop those purples — push her too hard, though, and she’ll sulk like a diva. 💜
The Legend
Rooted in the Hindu Kush range and refined in California, Purple Kush pairs hardy landrace grit with show-stopping colour. Crossing Hindu Kush with Purple Afghani created a resilient, old-school icon that new growers love and veterans still rate.
Funny Fact: That heavy resin coat? It’s a mountain trait — protection from cold, now prized for sticky, frosty flowers.
Flavour & Aroma
- On the nose: Pungent earth with sweet grape and forest-berry notes.
- On the tongue: Smooth earthy-pine on the inhale; sweet, gently spicy finish.
Matty’s Take: “Forest floor after a storm with a hit of grape candy. Pure comfort — classic, earthy, balanced.”
Effects & What to Expect
First wave: A warm, happy exhale that quiets the noise — clear head, slower pace.
Then it settles: Heavy, soothing body ease that invites couch-time and lights-down calm. The ultimate end-of-day switch-off.
Matty’s anecdote: “After a mad week, this is my shutdown button. Ten minutes later, it’s me, the lounge, and a vinyl spinning.”
How I Grow It (Matty’s Way)
Skill level: Beginner–Intermediate. Tough as nails, but she wants airflow and a steady feed.
Training & support: Stocky and bushy — perfect for LST and a light SCROG. You can be a touch bolder with topping/defoliation than usual.
Purple quirk: For vivid colour, aim for a night drop of 5–10 °C in late flower.
Matty’s Feeding & pH Know-How: “Soil pH 6.0–6.5. She’s a hearty eater — push a little in late veg and early flower, and don’t skimp on P–K.”
Grow Log: Inside the Tent
Phase/Week | Key Action/Status | Matty’s Tip |
---|---|---|
Veg Week 3 | Stocky structure established. | Start LST early to open the canopy and even the tops. |
Flower Week 2 | Light stretch; first pistils. | Swap to bloom feed and watch internode spacing. |
Flower Week 6 | Dense stacks; purple tones emerging. | Drop night temps and keep fans moving through the colas. |
Harvest Week 8 | Mostly cloudy trichomes with a touch of amber. | Flush 7–10 days for a clean, classic finish. |
🚫 Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Poor airflow: Dense buds demand constant movement — or you’re inviting mould.
- Overwatering: Let the medium breathe; she hates wet feet.
- Under-feeding: She’s hungry. Starve her and you’ll see it in yield and density.
- Late chop: Letting her run too long shifts the vibe from mellow to nap-time heavy.
Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)
- VPD & RH: 1.0–1.2 kPa late veg; 1.2–1.5 kPa flower. Hold RH 35–45% late bloom.
- PPFD: 700–900 µmol/m²/s at peak. She converts light into rock-hard stacks.
- EC: 1.8–2.2 in flower; stay steady to avoid tip burn.
- Feeding window: P–K boost around weeks 4–6 to swell the tops.
- Terpenes: Myrcene, Linalool, Caryophyllene — earthy, floral, lightly spicy profile.

Myth: “Purple Kush is a sativa.”
Truth (Matty): “Nah — near-pure indica. Expect body-heavy calm, not a racy head buzz.”

Truth (Matty): “Genetics set the stage — late-flower temp drops make the colour sing.”
