Antenna Purple Colombian Gorilla Haze by Antenna Seeds
Colombian × Haze × Gorilla × Purple
Antenna Purple Colombian Gorilla Haze is a boutique, mostly sativa cultivar developed by Antenna Seeds, noted for its adventurous and high-energy crosses. This strain aims to combine the vigor of classic Colombian and Haze genetics with the resin density of Gorilla strains and a purple cosmetic characteristic. It is designed for consumers seeking uplifting effects with visual appeal and modern potency.
Appearance and Morphology
This cultivar typically grows into a medium-tall plant with a dominant central cola and strong lateral branching, especially when trained. It features narrow leaflets and elongated petioles characteristic of sativa varieties. During flowering, buds develop a dense, stacked structure with a high trichome count, often appearing frosty. Phenotypes may display purple hues in the sugar leaves and calyces, particularly under cooler nighttime temperatures, while others remain green with orange pistils.
The plant exhibits significant stretch after the light cycle transition, requiring support for canopy height management. Buds on the main cola can reach 15-25 cm, with secondary branches producing similar-sized tops. The structure is well-suited for techniques like SCROG and manifold growing.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma and flavor profile of Antenna Purple Colombian Gorilla Haze is complex and varied, influenced by its diverse genetic background. Expect a combination of sweet and fruity notes, such as berry and grape, alongside floral and herbal undertones. Citrus and lemon scents are also commonly reported, contributing to a bright and zesty bouquet. The overall experience is often described as candy-like and herbal.
Cannabinoids and Terpenes
Antenna Purple Colombian Gorilla Haze typically tests between 22-28% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is expected to be diverse, reflecting its genetic heritage. Key terpenes may include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene, and ocimene. These compounds contribute to the strain's distinct aroma, flavor, and potential effects, with total terpene content often ranging from 1.5-3.5% after a proper cure.
Effects
This sativa-dominant strain is primarily known for its cerebral effects, offering an uplifting and energetic experience. Users often report a clear-headed high that can stimulate creativity and focus. The effects are generally described as long-lasting and suitable for daytime use, providing a functional boost without significant sedation.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by Antenna Seeds, Antenna Purple Colombian Gorilla Haze is a boutique cultivar with a presumed four-part genetic influence: Purple, Colombian, Gorilla, and Haze. The breeder aims to combine the classic sativa vigor of Colombian and Haze strains with the resin production of Gorilla genetics and a visually appealing purple coloration. This cross seeks to enhance bag appeal and yield while maintaining the characteristic uplifting effects associated with its sativa lineage.
Cultivation Notes
Growing Antenna Purple Colombian Gorilla Haze requires attention to its sativa-dominant structure, which can involve significant stretching during flowering. The plant benefits from training techniques to manage height and promote lateral growth. Phenotypic variation is common, with some plants emphasizing color, while others may show stronger Gorilla or Haze traits. It is generally considered moderately difficult to grow, with a flowering time that may be slightly shorter than traditional Haze strains due to the Gorilla influence. Yields are typically good, especially in phenotypes with improved resin density.
