Purple #1: The Legendary Outdoor Purple Powerhouse
Step into cannabis history with Purple #1, the original purple strain that’s been turning heads since the early 1980s. Famous for its vibrant purple hues, resin-soaked buds, and uplifting high, this classic outdoor variety remains a grower’s favorite for its visual appeal, easy cultivation, and fast flowering time.
Developed by Dutch Passion, Purple #1 has influenced countless breeding projects worldwide and continues to be celebrated for its distinct appearance and unique effects—making it a timeless staple in the world of outdoor cannabis genetics.
A Balanced Classic Built for Outdoor Success
With a perfect 50/50 indica-sativa blend, Purple #1 offers the best of both worlds. Its indica lineage traces back to a rare purple Afghani, carefully bred in Holland with top indica and sativa genetics to produce a robust, climate-adapted strain ideal for cooler outdoor environments.
This hardy plant thrives outdoors and in greenhouses, reaching heights of 1.5m to 2.5m and finishing early—harvest-ready in late September, well before the first frost in many temperate climates.
Stunning Purple Buds & Classic Flavor
As soon as flowering begins, you’ll notice deep purple calyxes forming, surrounded by small, sticky purple leaves nestled among glistening buds. The striking visual appeal of Purple #1 makes it a standout in any garden, while its yield of 250–350g per plant is more than satisfying for an outdoor strain.
The aroma is a subtle mix—slightly earthy with a fruity twist—and the taste mirrors its appearance with a sticky, sweet complexity and a slightly rough but authentic character.
Uplifting Effects with a Fast-Hitting High
The high from Purple #1 is fast-acting and euphoric, delivering an uplifting cerebral buzz that hits quickly and leaves you feeling refreshed and mentally clear. While the duration may not be the longest, the quality of the high more than makes up for it. Expect a clean, positive vibe that’s ideal for daytime use, creative activities, or just enjoying nature.
