Dog Shit × Purple Urkle × Granddaddy Purple
Purple Dog Shit is a rare hybrid cultivar known for its striking appearance and complex aroma. It combines the pungent qualities of its namesake with genetics that impart purple hues and sweet undertones, appealing to connoisseurs seeking a unique sensory experience.
Appearance
This hybrid typically presents as a medium-height plant with robust branching and densely packed nodes. Its most notable feature is its coloration, with bracts often displaying shades of olive, plum, and deep violet, especially under cooler night temperatures. These vibrant hues contrast with bright orange stigmas and a heavy coating of trichomes. The buds are dense and compact, often described as golf-ball or egg-shaped, with sugar leaves showing marbled patterns.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile of Purple Dog Shit is intensely layered, beginning with a pungent, skunky, and sometimes ammonia-like top note inherited from its lineage. This is complemented by sweeter fragrances reminiscent of grape skin, blackberry, and ripe citrus. Deeper aromatic notes can include herbaceous pine and floral undertones, creating a complex and attention-grabbing bouquet.
