Appearance
Purple Haze buds are visually striking, exhibiting a vibrant mix of deep purple and green colors, often coated in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The buds are typically dense and sticky, with sizes ranging from 2 to 4 centimeters in diameter, indicating careful genetic selection for resin production.
Aroma & Flavor

Its flavor profile mirrors this complexity, starting with a sweet taste that transitions into earthy and berry-like notes, complemented by subtle spicy or citrus hints and a lingering, refreshing aftertaste.
Effects

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Purple Haze is characterized by myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor. It typically contains high levels of THC, ranging from 18% to 24%, with very low CBD content (less than 1%), which is responsible for its potent psychoactive effects.
Origins & Lineage
Purple Haze traces its genetic lineage to the renowned Haze strains, known for their cerebral effects, and Purple Thai, which contributes its distinctive color and complex flavor. Growers Choice has refined this cross, resulting in a strain that typically exhibits 60-70% sativa dominance.
