Critical Purple

Critical Purple: Grow Beautiful Purple Buds & Experience Deep Relaxation

Critical Purple awakens your taste buds with a delightful grape-infused flavor. As the smoke goes down your lungs, it leaves behind a rich and crisp Marple-like earthiness. On the aftertaste, a herbal tingle evokes a high-quality green tea sensation on your palate.

Uplifting

In an instant, this strain lifts your mood. It infuses a strong sense of euphoria and instills a positive vibe into your day. Your worries go away, leaving you in the best state of mind to enjoy a good session.

Energetic Body Buzz

The indica dominant strain then gives off a surprisingly energetic body buzz. Rather than being cerebral, it massages every inch of your body leaving you feeling like a warm puddle of goo.

Therapeutic Use

Critical Purple’s full body stone helps with killing chronic pain. It also makes this strain a fan favorite for those dealing with insomnia-related issues. The initial uplifting euphoria can also help in fighting depression and appetite loss.

Growing Critical Purple

When it comes to growing Critical Purple strain, it is the easygoing type. Its heavy resin production forms a solid physical barrier against pests and pathogens. This strain also shows great resilience against mold.

Critical Purple shows Indica dominance in its growing characteristics. It is, however, not shy of expressing some sativa traits.

Plant Size and Growth Structure

Critical Purple has a branchy structure that grows wide and bushy. This gives it more bud sites but will need proper attention to optimize light penetration.

In addition, the plants can grow big despite their Indica-dominant genetic profile. Indoors, they remains compact, with a height of 75 cm to 100 cm. Outdoors, they take advantage of the abundant space and lighting to reach a height of 200 to 250 cm.

Feminized Nature and Flowering Time

With Critical Purple cannabis seeds, you are getting relatively fast-flowering plants. For a strain with photoperiod traits, Critical Purple is ready in just 55-60 days of indoor blooming. Outdoor harvests are done early in October between the first and tenth day.

Yield Potential

Critical Purple seeds do well in a variety of environments. Indoors, you can get as much as 550–600 g/m². Outdoors, this strain gives a more generous 600-700 grams per plant.

Managing Critical Purple’s Branchy Growth

As already noted, Critical Purple can grow big and branchy. While this can mean a higher yield potential, it also requires careful management for optimal light penetration and airflow. 

Here is how to prevent the big branchy stature from limiting the yield potential of your plants.

Low-Stress Training (LST) for Better Structure

It is called low stress because it involves applying a little stress to the plant methodically to prevent potential excessive stress. LST is done by carefully bending and tying the bigger branches outwards. This way the plants have not just a wider but also a more even canopy.

This technique is mostly beneficial outdoors, where the Critical Purple plants can grow up to almost 3 meters. It can also help indoor plant stems grow stronger over time for heavier bud production.

Start your LST training early enough so the plants have enough time to recover from the low stress. Moreover, be very gentle and careful when bending and tying the branches so as not to break them.

Pruning for Airflow and Energy Focus

Pruning is important for Critical Purple’s dense foliage that is made of wide Indica leaves. This technique removes the plant’s weak or unnecessary growth while allowing the main stems, branches, and leaves to thrive.

Pruning improves airflow and light penetration to the important bud sites. It also refocuses the plant’s energy from sustaining unnecessary growth to the more important parts of the plant. Plus, with more controlled foliage, there is less moisture buildup that could harbor mold, pests, and diseases.

It is vital to not over prune the plants. Trim the plant over time as it grows and develops to achieve the desired results. To prevent losing potential bud sites, do it during the flowering stage going into early flowering.

Support For Heavy Bud Production

With Critical Purple’s high yield potential, the plants can easily get overwhelmed by the heavy buds. Its heavy colas can take a toll on weaker stems, making them bend low into moisture-prone areas or snapping them. 

Supporting your plants with stakes and trellis nets ensures you don’t lose your buds to mold or breakages. While stakes support individual stems or branches from breakage, trellis nets spread the weight of the plant evenly for balanced degrowth.

Just like pruning and LST, these support systems should be implemented early enough. This prevents tampering with the delicate resin and trichomes on the buds later on.

 

Origin And History

Critical Purple‘s lineage is unrivalled. The legendary Critical strain contributes its high yield potential with a robust plant structure. On the other hand, Purple Kush brings its vibrant and striking purple to black coloration and a unique terpene profile.

The combination of the two powerhouse strains created a high-performance strain in the grow room with turbo-charged effects. Plus, the breeders achieved a great-looking strain.
