Purple Majik 5
Heirloom Purple Line × Citrus-Forward Hybrid
Purple Majik #5 is a select phenotype of the Purple Majik line, distinguished by its striking violet coloration and a sweet, tangy, and floral terpene profile. This modern cultivar is favored for its appealing "dessert strain" characteristics, combining potent effects with desirable sensory attributes.
Appearance and Morphology
Purple Majik #5 features compact, medium-sized flowers with a calyx-forward structure and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The buds typically form tight, conical clusters and are covered in abundant trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. A defining characteristic is its deep violet to nearly black bracts, which intensify in the final weeks of flowering, often accompanied by magenta pistils.
Plants exhibit balanced vegetative growth with manageable indoor heights of 24-40 inches. The structure supports dense buds, with thick petioles and slightly rigid stems that can handle light trellising.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Purple Majik #5 is a complex blend of sweet citrus, grape candy, and floral notes, with an underlying hint of spice. Upon grinding, the bouquet expands to include notes of orange zest, blackcurrant, and lavender. Some selections also present a candy-coating aroma, reminiscent of powdered sugar.
On the palate, this strain offers a flavor profile that begins with lemon-lime soda, transitioning into Concord grape and berry compote. A mild herbal finish balances the sweetness, and longer cures may reveal subtle vanilla or cream undertones.
Effects
Purple Majik #5 is reported to provide a balanced yet potent experience. Users often describe feeling relaxed and calm, with a potential for increased talkativeness and creativity. Its effects are generally well-rounded, making it suitable for various consumption occasions.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain typically tests high in THC, commonly ranging from 20-26%, with some batches potentially exceeding 28%. Total cannabinoid content often falls between 22-30%. CBD levels are generally below 1%, and CBG is typically present in amounts between 0.2-1.0%. THCV is usually found in trace amounts.
The terpene profile is characterized by a combination that contributes to its sweet, tangy, and floral aroma and flavor. Key terpenes contributing to its sensory profile include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, among others. The synergy between these terpenes and cannabinoids enhances the overall experience and perceived potency.
Origins and Lineage
Purple Majik #5 is a specific phenotype selected from the broader Purple Majik line. The parent line is understood to be a cross between an heirloom purple variety, valued for its strong anthocyanin expression and vigor, and a modern hybrid with a citrus-forward terpene profile, potentially including Mandarin genetics. The #5 designation signifies a keeper selection chosen for its consistent traits.
This breeding approach aims to combine striking visual appeal with desirable aromas and balanced effects. While not directly descended from classic strains like Skunk #1 or Haze, it represents a contemporary breeding goal focused on color, flavor, and cultivation characteristics within an 8-9 week flowering period.
Cultivation
Purple Majik #5 is considered a modern cultivar that rewards attentive growers. It exhibits balanced vegetative morphology and responds well to training techniques like topping. The plants reach a manageable height indoors, typically 24-40 inches.
The flowering time is generally within the standard 56-63 day range, producing dense, resinous buds. Its structure supports good yield potential, especially when cultivated under optimal environmental conditions. The strain is noted for its ability to express deep violet colors, particularly when exposed to cooler night temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
