Purple Kush: The Heavy Hitter
Purple Kush is the archetypal purple indica—dense, frosty, and seriously relaxing. Expect gassy kush with sweet floral notes and a grounding, earthy finish. This is your pick for nighttime recovery and deep body calm.
Purple Urkle: Grape-Forward & Comforting
Purple Urkle leans into juicy grape and berry flavours with a creamy exhale. It’s soothing without being overwhelming—great for stress relief and evening unwinding.
Purple Punch: Dessert Terps, Dreamy Nights
Purple Punch tastes like a grape-vanilla dessert with blueberry accents. Effects are classic indica—calming, happy, and sleep-friendly—making it a favourite for end-of-day rituals.
Purple Haze: Energetic, Creative, Classic
Purple Haze flips the script—more uplifting than sedating. Bright berry-citrus terps and a clean, creative headspace make it ideal for daytime projects or social vibes.
Granddaddy Purple (GDP): The Icon
Granddaddy Purple is the couch-lock legend. Thick, grape-candy nose with deep berry sweetness and an unmistakable indica heaviness—perfect for sleep and full-body reset.
