Creating the strain was a breeze. Its sturdy frame comes from two cannabis giants, Skunk No. 1 and Dutch Dope. From the former, it gained its skunky undertones as well as high yields. Meanwhile, the latter influenced its ability to withstand the cold.
Odor and Flavors
Purple Power has a pungent scent that is reminiscent of sweet fruit. Its overtones are that of berry with a hint of wood that intensify once the buds are either broken apart or combusted. Inhaling its smoke results in the bud coating the palate with a saccharine candy along with notes of tangy lemon. On the exhale, it leaves a skunky aftertaste with a refreshing tinge of pine.
Effects
Purple Power has a quick-acting onset that starts within a few minutes after one to two puffs. It introduces itself as a euphoric sensation that swarms the mind. A behavioral change is immediately visible. Smiles broaden as one’s disposition turns upbeat.

Growing Purple Power
Purple Power is a tropical strain with a preference for long hours under the sun. Because of this, it flourishes best in the Mediterranean where the climate is warm and semi-humid. This is not to say that the plant will not flourish in the northern hemisphere. Rather, it may take time to soak up more sunlight due to its short day hours.

The plant is quite resilient to the cold, as often is the case of purple strains. It flowers early from the second to the last week of September. Each plant flowers 510 to 1,020 grams of buds once ready for harvest. Of course, it will still need to be protected against frost in case of an early winter. A temporary enclosing usually suffices.
Many growers prefer cultivating the plant indoors. Controlling factors such as lighting, temperature, and humidity are done by making a few adjustments to the intensity of light or the amount of air let out by the ventilation system. Moreover, growers can expose the plant to more light. It will need to be topped early though. Its height can be a problem as it not only cramps the space but interferes with light and air distribution in the lower nodes.
With that said, Purple Power has a short indoor flowering period of 7 to 9 weeks. It produces between 510 to 680 grams of buds per square meter. Growers can further improve yields by employing plant training techniques like the Screen of Green method. The screen not only evenly distributes light but also provides support for its thin branches so it does not break during massive bud production.
