Purple Haze: The cannabis superstar
Purple Haze is undoubtedly one of the most famous cannabis strains in the world. On the one hand, the exotic purple color and the strong effect of this strain have of course contributed to this success. But it was also songs such as "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix that caused quite a stir in the 1960s and put purple haze on the radar of people who had nothing to do with cannabis. And the hype surrounding Purple Haze has still not died down today - more than 60 years after it was first bred.
This legendary, sativa-dominant hybrid strain simply offers everything you could wish for from good weed: An intense, psychoactive effect paired with a delicious blend of sweet, earthy and spicy flavors as well as the unmistakable purple buds.
Purple Haze plants are also uncomplicated to grow, so you can grow them indoors or outdoors without any previous experience and expect a magnificent result. Here at Linda Seeds you can buy feminized Purple Haze seeds from various breeders, such as Positronics, G13 Labs, White Label Seeds or Original Sensible Seeds.

What is Purple Haze weed? Origin, genetics and THC content
The breeding of the first Haze strain (OG Haze) is attributed to the Californian "Haze Brothers". The exact origin of Purple Haze, however, is a well-kept secret that is the subject of many rumors. However, it is generally assumed that Purple Haze is the result of a cross between OG Haze and Purple Thai.
OG Haze
OG Haze has been a real perennial favorite for over 60 years in the truest sense of the word and has shaped the cannabis scene like no other strain. It was bred by the Haze Brothers during the legendary hippie era in the 60s and, with its spicy flavor combined with a strong, euphoric high, has quickly become one of the most famous Cali weed strains ever.
Purple Thai
As the name suggests, Purple Thai originated in Thailand and developed from a native landrace. The name also makes it clear where Purple Haze got the genetics for its purple-colored flowers. In addition, the sweet, flowery aroma in combination with the energizing effects of Purple Thai harmonizes perfectly with the spicy taste and dynamic effect of OG Haze. So it's no wonder that the combination of these two genetics has produced an absolute superstar in the cannabis scene.
Purple Haze THC content
The THC content of Purple Haze ranges between 16 and 21 %, which was extremely high in the past, but compared to today's hybrids is more in the middle range. Nevertheless, Purple Haze has a powerful effect and continues to inspire even very experienced users with a long-lasting, psychoactive high. With a sativa/indica ratio of 85 to 15, this strain triggers a particularly stimulating high. But let's take a closer look at the exact effect and taste of Purple Haze.
If you are a Haze lover in general, we have a large selection of feminized Haze seeds for you in our store. Our most popular strains include: A5 Killer Haze, Amnesia Lemon, Super Silver Haze and Super Lemon Haze
Identifying features, taste and effect of Purple Haze
The main distinguishing feature of Purple Haze is of course the purple coloration of the buds and leaves during the late flowering period, which gives this legendary strain a very special look.
What is the taste of Purple Haze like?
Purple Haze is also characterized by a unique taste that is dominated by sweet and spicy aromas. This is because the most common terpene in Purple Haze is myrcene, which gives the weed a strong taste with sweet, fruity undertones.
When smoking Purple Haze weed, the first thing that spreads across the tongue is a sweet aroma reminiscent of ripe berries, which is then rounded off by a slightly pungent, spicy note of pine and lavender.
The effect of Purple Haze: this strain gives you wings
Purple Haze weed is notorious for inducing an uplifting, psychoactive high that not only puts you in a good mood, but also increases creativity and talkativeness. This is why Purple Haze makes for lots of laughs and an exuberant atmosphere, especially when shared with friends. These euphoric effects are rounded off by a pleasant, relaxing effect on the body, without making you sluggish.
Purple Haze Weed is also characterized by an extremely high THC-CBD ratio of over 100 to 1, which is responsible for its particularly psychoactive effect. There are even people who say that they experience mild psychedelic effects such as slight hallucinations after smoking Purple Haze. Even if this is perhaps a little exaggerated, cannabis lovers agree that the uplifting effect of Purple Haze is something very special.
Medical and therapeutic applications of Purple Haze
Purple Haze is not only extremely popular with recreational users, but is also interesting for therapeutic applications. In particular, people suffering from depression, anxiety or stress could benefit from the euphoric effect of Purple Haze. The same goes for anyone looking for a strain that can reduce muscle tension without causing a sluggish feeling.
If you prefer a dynamic high when smoking weed rather than a sedating stone, you should generally opt for sativa strains when growing. The following sativas are not only characterized by a particularly high THC content of over 20 %, but also an XXL yield: Lemon Drizzle, Amsterdam Amnesia, Thunder Banana and Strawberry Lemonade.
Growing Purple Haze seeds: These are the things you need to look out for
If you want to buy Purple Haze seeds now to enjoy this unique strain, we have great news for you: Growing Purple Haze is pretty straightforward, especially compared to other Haze hybrids. This is because Purple Haze plants do not require any special care during the growth phase and virtually grow by themselves. This makes the cultivation of Purple Haze seeds the perfect project for beginner growers who want to get started with a legendary cannabis strain.
However, the long flowering time of 8 to 11 weeks requires some patience when growing Purple Haze. Purple Haze seeds can be grown both indoors and outdoors and promise fantastic results in both cases. This strain not only rewards growers with its magnificent purple flowers, but also with an above-average yield.
5 tips to unleash the full potential of your Purple Haze seeds
With these 5 tips you will be able to get the full potential out of your Purple Haze seeds:
1. Less is more
Nutrients are an important part of growing any plant, but not all plants need the same amounts. Purple Haze is a frugal strain where you will achieve the best results with the motto "less is more" when it comes to nutrients.
For optimal growth, all cannabis plants need nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. For Purple Haze, we recommend using phosphorus from the 2nd week of flowering to replenish the plant's energy stores, which will further boost the growth of the buds.
2. Use premium soil
You can also grow Purple Haze with a hydroponic system, but soil works just as well. However, it is particularly important that you use high-quality soil. This is because it provides the basis for your Purple Haze seeds to develop into healthy, strong plants that will give you proud yields.
As Purple Haze is a relatively undemanding variety, the plants thrive excellently with simple soil mixtures such as compost, peat moss and perlite.
3. Pruning & topping
Pruning is crucial for the growth process. By removing dying leaves and branches, your Purple Haze plants can invest all their energy in growing healthy buds and leaves. After some time, it will also be necessary to cut off some fan leaves so that your plants get more air and sunlight.
Topping your Purple Haze plants is not absolutely necessary, but is highly recommended, especially for advanced growers. To do this, the upper part of the plant is cut off directly above the 5th node during the vegetative phase. This stimulates lateral growth of the plant, which can increase the yield potential enormously.
4. Intensify purple coloration
The purple coloration of every cannabis plant is genetically determined and cannot be caused artificially. Nevertheless, you can intensify the purple hue of your Purple Haze plants with a simple trick:
Reduce the temperature by 10°C at nightfall. This accelerates the breakdown of chlorophyll, which is responsible for the green coloration of marijuana. As soon as the chlorophyll is broken down, anthocyanins are produced in its place, which cause a purple coloration.
However, you must exercise caution with this method and not overdo it. Excessive temperature fluctuations can put your Purple Haze plants under too much stress, which can reduce their growth and yield. This technique is therefore more recommended for advanced growers. If you have grown your Purple Haze seeds outdoors, Mother Nature usually ensures an intense purple color anyway, as the temperatures always cool down significantly at night.
In addition to Purple Haze, we at Linda Seeds have a few other seeds in our range that result in beautifully colored plants: Best Friend OG, Purple Haze x Malawi, American Purple and Auto Gorilla Zkittlez

5. indoor & outdoor cultivation yield of Purple Haze
What makes Purple Haze seeds ideal for outdoor cultivation in Germany and other countries in the northern hemisphere is that this strain grows best at temperatures between 18° and 27°C. Apart from the temperature, high sun exposure is of course also essential for your Purple Haze plants to grow really well outdoors and reach a height of up to 2 meters. Ideally, you can expect a yield of over 600 grams of beautiful purple weed per plant.
When grown indoors, Purple Haze plants will give you a harvest of around 450-500g/m².
