Origins & Lineage
This hybrid is understood to be a cross between Purple Punch, itself a combination of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple, and a Chemdawg selection, such as Chem 4 or Chem 91.

Color expression, particularly purple hues, is often influenced by cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage.
