Lethal Purple by Anthos Seeds
Unknown Indica Dominant Hybrids
Lethal Purple is a mostly indica cultivar developed by Anthos Seeds, recognized for its dense, resinous flowers often displaying striking purple coloration. It is valued for a balance of potency, distinct flavor profile, and manageable cultivation characteristics.
Appearance
Lethal Purple develops into a compact to medium-sized plant with strong central branching. Its flowers are dense, forming clusters that can range from golf-ball to cola-sized. The buds typically exhibit a gradient of green to deep violet, with pigmentation most prominent on the bracts and sugar leaves, especially when exposed to cooler night temperatures late in the flowering cycle. A heavy trichome production often gives the buds a silvery appearance against the purple backdrop.
Aroma & Flavor
When stored, Lethal Purple typically presents a complex aroma dominated by dark berries, black cherry, and notes of grape candy. Underlying scents include black pepper, sweet earth, and a hint of floral lavender. Upon grinding, the aroma expands to reveal sharper spice and a subtle citrus rind. The flavor profile on inhalation commonly features berry jam and grape skin with a peppery finish, complemented by a medium-bodied, slightly creamy mouthfeel.
Effects
This cultivar is generally described as providing a deeply soothing body effect that is relaxing without being overwhelmingly narcotic, particularly at modest doses. It is noted for offering a calm, weighted sensation that can be beneficial for unwinding. While it can induce a sense of relaxation, it is not typically associated with intense couch-lock at lower consumption levels.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Lethal Purple typically exhibits a terpene profile that leans towards myrcene and caryophyllene, contributing to its relaxing properties. Other terpenes like limonene and ocimene may also be present, adding complexity to the aroma and flavor. The THC content generally ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing Characteristics
As a mostly indica cultivar, Lethal Purple tends to have a relatively fast flowering period, typically finishing within eight to nine weeks. It displays compact internodal spacing and a stout structure, making it suitable for growers with limited vertical space. The plant is known for producing dense, resinous flowers and is considered to have manageable growth habits, appealing to both home cultivators and commercial growers.
Origins & Lineage
Lethal Purple was bred by Anthos Seeds, with a breeding rationale focused on indica morphology, vibrant color expression, and resin density. While specific parentage is not publicly disclosed, its characteristics suggest a lineage rooted in Afghani or similar Central/South Asian broadleaf varieties known for purple coloration and indica traits. The breeding aimed to combine aesthetic appeal with reliable cultivation performance and a berry-forward terpene profile.
