Purple Kush is a pure indica strain that emerged from the Oakland area of California as the result of crossing Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. Its aroma is subtle and earthy with sweet overtones typical of Kush varieties. Blissful, long-lasting euphoria blankets the mind while physical relaxation rids the body of pain, sleeplessness, and stress.

It was a tough one to write for, the flower nuggets are dense and medium to large size, chunkers reminds me of like GDP almost, great bag appeal, great look, pungent kush aroma, sadly the flavor isn't like GDP or purple punch or grape ape. It does have a undertone of berry/grape but it's more kush like flavor, I'd say it's a spicy earthy herbal undertones of grape/berry. Sadly Purple Punch, Grape Ape taste better than this Purple Kush, however I don't hate it. The effects make up for flavor, the flavor is mid, the aroma is top shelf, the looks are top shelf, bag appeal excellent, however flavor is mid. I don't know why, maybe it's just the phenotype or a bad batch in terms of flavor, yet the terps are loud / pungent, very detectable, so I don't know, it's just more of a spicy forward flavored strain, I'd say "old school". It was called "Pinnacle Purple Kush", yet I cannot find any strains by that name, and all results point to "Purple Kush". Chunky pungent aroma, resinous and sticky and frosted nugs. Flavor spicy earthy and herbal undertones of grape. High is potent, classic indica sleepy, hungry high.

The Look: Absolutely heavy with cbn all over these flattened giant raisin looking nugs, about the size of up to an 4inches in length. The smell: Kind of sweet and funky like is you could make a shoe out of fruit! It's a sweet woody taste :3 The effect: It's giving me heavy relaxation from the day I've stayed up 18 hours so far, It's able to keep me grinding and exercising and this is one of those strains that can cure relentless fatigue. Use this with caution if you are an experienced toker or medicinal needs this heavy strain can for sure help you keep going. If you suffer from anorexia, muscles spasms, spinal cord injury, and just pain in general this is the strain for you also great for insomnia. It's also great to have the dispensary test if for every cannabinoid or the major ones so far. And it's my birthday today happy birthday chill panda! You've been working hard I got some durban I am going to go in depth on that review when I get the chance to try it!

The herbal grass cutting and oh so woody n' piny. I love the smell of purple kush as much as I like the taste. Earthy With woody undertones with an underlying pungent aroma. These wonderful compact buds are fresh with a light yellow-ish looking coat that's the CBN for ya, its tested at 10.98 thc with cbd of 0.11% and a final 0.66cbn level I love how hard this hits me making me very sleepy and tired when I just can't fall asleep when I need too thanks purps! The funny thing about this strain is that it kind of tastes like pickles, and I don't eat pickles, but enjoy the Dill flavor.

Purple Kush has four phenotypes, three of which typically express sativa influence while the fourth exhibits more indicia-like characteristics. Achieve best results when plants are grown large and not confined to pots. Purple Kush will grow wide rather than tall and will be ready for harvest following an 8-week flowering time. Plants require a dry outdoor climate.
