Purple Killer is a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain of cannabis first grown in the US. Purple Killer was reportedly first bred by RIck of Hip Joynt Farms. This cannabis operation, located in Mendocino County, CA, excels in both indoor and outdoor grows, giving consumers the best of both worlds. In order to create this potent hybrid strain, Rick crossed the ever-popular Sour Diesel sativa plant with Buzz Bomb, resulting in a wonderfully aromatic and potent bud he named Purple Killer. Purple Killer is a wonderful daytime smoke as it will leave you energetic and uplifted with its average THC concentration of 20%.

Despite the name Purple Killer, these airy buds are often mint-green in color. Though some harvests have produced incredibly deep purple buds, this is likely because of cold indoor grow conditions producing purple buds. These spade-shaped nugs contain bright purple undertones, winding orange hairs, and a thick layer of off-white trichomes that take on a slightly lavender color.

The aroma produced by these flowers is slightly pungent with a bit of a floral overtone that might have you smelling the bud just to pick out its individual scents. The flavor isn’t drastically different, though it’s much more impressive than the aroma. Users have reported a sweet flavor that contains tastes like fruity berries, a bit of skunk, and some earthy pine.

Purple Killer’s effects are quite potent, and it is often argued by those who have reviewed the product that they’re what give the strain it’s name. Almost as soon as you take your first inhale, the effects of this strain go to work on your mind, seizing control of your mental faculties and erasing any worries or anxieties you were having. Before long, you’ll feel incredibly happy and uplifted, like nothing in the world can bring you down. With this newfound energy, you might find yourself tackling new projects, shopping, socializing, or even just playing in the backyard with your dog.

As time goes on, your energy will fade and you will be brought down to a serene, calm level during which you might find yourself taking a mid-afternoon nap. This incredibly relaxing and physical body high will have you stretched out from head to toe, enjoying optimal relaxation levels. During this time, you might feel a bit hazy and become introspective, with nothing but positive thoughts still racing through your mind. This body high isn’t quite sedative, though some users have reported being so comfortable and relaxed that they helplessly drifted off to dreamland.
