A strain that’s highly prized in California, Purple Crack is a bit of a newcomer to the cannabis scene. There can be two different variations of this beauty on the market, one created by Cali Connection and another that’s put out by Qola Family. Cali’s version is bred by crossing Green Crack with a Blackwater male, while Qola’s seems to be the more widely seen selection. They’ve taken Green Crack and combined it with Juicy Fruit for an 85/15 sativa-dominant strain that’s pungent and potent.

Purple Crack hits harder than you’d think with its 17% THC average. Nugs are super frosty with pistils that are often purple instead of the usual amber tone. This strain’s scent is something to be noted, with a complex and sharp aroma lingering during each smoke session. It’s floral, spicy, and has a hint of pine that’s quite nice. Its flavor profile is rather similar, although a sweeter and more earthy set of flavors tend to come into your mouth with a very definite aftertaste.

Tread carefully with Purple Crack, because a little goes a long way. Many note that they begin to feel its strong sativa effects literally within 5 minutes, taking them on an uplifted and happy ride. You’ll be hit with a burst of creative energy that’s perfect for getting projects completed or tackling an overdue task list. Despite your increased mood, you’ll still feel relaxed and the busyness won’t make you feel like you’re rushing around as other strains tend to. The high will be rather short, but intense enough to make it worth it.

Although you’ll be coming down sooner than you may like, this strain will still suffice as a great choice for medical patients. It’s highly effective for those dealing with chronic stress and depression and does wonders for pain relief. Despite many noticing increased energy after smoking Purple Crack, individuals with ADHD, muscle spasms, and insomnia might find they head right to sleep after a few puffs.

Growing Purple Crack isn’t too terribly difficult to do, as long as you’re prepared. She flowers in about 7 to 8 weeks, and at full maturity will give off a very strong skunky aroma. Indoor growing environments are recommended, where it can top heights of about 6 feet. However, if you choose to opt for an outdoor setting, be aware that you’re looking at plants that will be around 10 feet or more.

Purple Crack is a great way to get your high on and then move to the rest of your day unaffected, as its short but intense high can put you in a great frame of mind. Users love this strain’s unique flavor and it’s a great choice for both recreational and medicinal smokers.
