Purple Dog Poop
Pigmented Purple Strain × Dog Family Strain
Purple Dog Poop is a hybrid strain recognized for its striking purple coloration and a complex flavor profile that balances sweetness with classic funk. Connoisseurs value this cultivar for its significant resin production and potent, well-rounded effects.
Appearance
This cultivar is distinguished by its vivid purple pigmentation, often appearing in hues from crimson-lavender to deep eggplant, particularly in the final weeks of flowering. The buds are typically dense, forming tight, golf-ball-like structures with abundant trichome coverage, making them appealing for extraction.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile of Purple Dog Poop is a complex interplay of sweet and pungent notes, opening with scents reminiscent of grape candy and blackberry jam. Underlying these fruity notes is a foundation of earthy funk, diesel, and a hint of cracked pepper. Upon closer inspection or during consumption, a sugared citrus rind aroma emerges, followed by a flavor that combines sweet, creamy grape on the inhale with a peppery, kush-like finish on the exhale.
Effects
Purple Dog Poop is reported to provide a balanced experience, characterized by a mood-lifting quality and a body-relaxing sensation. At higher doses, a gently sedative edge may become more apparent. Some users have noted a focused state when consuming this strain.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Lab reports suggest THC content typically ranges from the upper teens to the mid-twenties, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is notably complex, with caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene often cited as dominant. Other terpenes like humulene and ocimene may also be present, contributing to the strain's distinctive aroma and effects.
Growing
Purple Dog Poop is generally considered a medium-difficulty strain to cultivate, often requiring attention to temperature to maximize its purple coloration. It typically has a flowering period of 56–70 days. The plants tend to reach a medium height indoors, and their dense trichome production makes them suitable for resinous concentrate production.
Origins and Lineage
The name Purple Dog Poop reflects its dual heritage: the purple coloration inherited from anthocyanin-rich parent strains and the characteristic funk from the 'Dog' family lineage. While specific breeder claims vary, it is understood to be a hybrid cross where a pigmented purple strain was bred with a Dog-derived cultivar known for its pungent, skunky aroma. This combination aims to deliver both visual appeal and a sophisticated flavor profile.
