Kims Purps by Chim Chiminey Genetics
Unknown
Kim's Purps is a mostly indica cultivar developed by Chim Chiminey Genetics, a breeder recognized for small-batch cannabis with a focus on terpene expression and resin density. This strain is sought after for its rich coloration, complex aromatics, and consistently relaxing effects.
Appearance
Kim's Purps presents compact, dense buds often shaped like golf balls or spades, characterized by tightly stacked swollen calyxes. Mature flowers display a striking combination of deep purples and blacks contrasted with lime green sugar leaves and vibrant orange pistils that darken to rust. The buds are notably resinous, covered in trichomes that give them a frosted appearance and a sticky texture.
The density of the buds is above average for an indica-dominant strain, contributing to a premium visual appeal. A favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio aids in trimming and enhances the overall shelf presence. When properly cured, the flowers break apart with a distinct snap and leave a visible resin ring when smoked.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Kim's Purps initially features notes of dark berries, concord grape, and candied violet, underpinned by a scent reminiscent of damp earth and sweet hashish. Upon grinding, the aroma expands to include spicy, peppery notes and a subtle hint of cocoa or mocha. Many describe the overall scent as a blend of grape soda and berry jam, accented by floral undertones, characteristic of purple strains.
On the palate, Kim's Purps typically begins with flavors of grape candy and blueberry compote, transitioning into a lavender-honey mid-palate. The finish is earthy and slightly spicy, with a lingering peppery-cocoa aftertaste. Some phenotypes may also reveal a light gas or hash note, particularly those with a more pronounced caryophyllene profile. Vaporizing at lower temperatures, between 175–195°C, best preserves the delicate floral and sweet dessert notes.
Effects
Kim's Purps is known for delivering a strong, fast-onset body effect that leads to pronounced relaxation. Its indica-dominant heritage contributes to a calming and sedative-forward experience, making it a suitable choice for unwinding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The aromatic profile of Kim's Purps suggests a terpene composition likely led by myrcene, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene, with limonene and humulene also potentially present. Supporting terpenes such as alpha-pinene, ocimene, and nerolidol may contribute pine, sweet-herbal, or woody nuances. The THC content typically ranges from 18-26%, with CBD levels below 1%. Total cannabinoid content can reach 20-30% when minor cannabinoids are included.
Growing
Kim's Purps is described as a mostly indica cultivar with a squat stature, broad leaves, and short internodal spacing, making it manageable in various indoor environments. Growers report coordinated maturation across the plant, leading to fewer underdeveloped buds and a good trim ratio. The strain's density requires adequate airflow to prevent issues like botrytis.
The flowering period is typical for indica-dominant hybrids, and the strain is noted for its uniform phenotype expression, suggesting rigorous selection by the breeder. Yields are considered strong, often exceeding 15-20% of wet weight in optimized indoor settings.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Chim Chiminey Genetics, Kim's Purps is a boutique cultivar with a strong emphasis on terpene expression and resin density. While the breeder has not publicly disclosed the specific parental cross, the strain's phenotype traits—including dense buds, vivid purple coloration, and grape-berry-floral aromas—strongly indicate a lineage within the classic “purple” cannabis family. This lineage historically includes strains like Mendo Purps, Granddaddy Purple, and Purple Urkle.
The breeder's focus appears to be on reliability and consistent expression, hinting at multiple backcrosses or extensive selection processes to achieve the desired chemotype and indica-leaning effects. This approach appeals to collectors and connoisseurs seeking quality and predictable outcomes.
