Tasting of fruit and spice, Purple Lightning is an Indica dominant hybrid that is loved by many for its perfect blend of cerebral and physical effects. Numbing both the body and mind, the strain has many medical applications ranging from calming nausea to pain, anxiety and stress relief. Though users should be wary, especially newer patients, as this strain can easily leave one in a very dazed and disoriented state. Some users find this strain imparts visual hallucinations upon them but many more find that the strain plays tricks on their mind. Purple Lightning has a THC count that can reach up to 15 percent.

This BC Bud Seed Company creation often produces a very powerful aroma and requires an indoor grow set up. However, as an advantage the strain inherited traits for staying short from its parents, a clone only landrace Purple Indica mother of mysterious origins and a male Northern Lights #5 that was 25 years in the making at BC Bud. Purple Lightning is a plant that rarely breaks three feet and can be grown even by first timers. Needing only the basics to grow, this strain usually finishes within a mere 50 days. BC Bud unleashed Purple Lightning upon the world in the year of 1995.
