Starting with the fragrance, this strain exudes a complex blend of gassy notes reminiscent of its OG lineage. Breaking the sticky nuggets and grinding them releases a sweet, freshly baked cookie essence that gets rich with every whiff. On the exhale, it gives off a sweet, cooling sensation akin to menthol.

Once the smoke enters your mouth, its multi-layered flavor initially unfurls with a spicy kick. It then picks up a citrus hint as the smoke settles. Towards the end of your session, you will experience a delicious creaminess lasting on your tongue.

Growing Purple Ghost Candy
Purple Ghost Candy cannabis seeds are easy to cultivate with the right skill set and knowledge. The plant is fairly resistant to mould. Its nuggety buds come with minimal airy spaces, meaning less bud rot worries as compared to cola buds.
Purple Ghost Candy thrives in different growing setups and environments. Preferably, a warm outdoor climate realizes the best results. Here is what to expect.
Plant Size and Growth Structure
Purple Ghost Candy exhibits a sativa stature thanks to its vigorous growth pattern. Indoor plants reach a relatively easy-to-manage height of about 100-150 cm. Outdoors, this sativa queen reaches for the stars with an impressive 250-350 cm under the right conditions.
Feminized Nature and Fast Photoperiod Flowering Times
Newbie growers choose these high thc cannabis seeds for its 100% feminized nature. With no sexing worries, your growing adventure is simplified. As for their flowering, Purple Ghost Candy plants take a bit longer, 70-84 days to flower. Outdoor harvests vary as northern latitudes give harvests in the second half of October. Southern latitude harvests are usually ready in April.
Adaptability to Different Climates and Expected Yields
This strain is a perfect fit for commercial growers, thanks to its bud quality and quantity. Indoors, you can harvest between 500 and 600 grams of resin-drenched buds per square meter. Outdoors, the results are even more impressive, giving harvests of up to 900 grams per plant.

Managing Purple Ghost Candy Growth and Height
This 60% sativa-dominant hybrid can easily run over space-limited setups. Here are tips that will help you manage its stature for stealth and maximum yields.
Implementing Support Structures
Supporting the plants is important. Without support systems, the lanky and sprawling lateral branches can snap under the bud weight. So how do you do it?
- Staking– You can support the main stems and larger branches using individual sticks made from bamboo or plant-specific plastic. Gently insert the stakes in the ground to avoid root damage, and loosely tie the plants using soft materials
- Trellising– If you are doing multiple plants, trellising comes in handy. This system is also helpful in managing outdoor plants that often grow taller and bushier. In this technique, you employ four stakes around each plant. You can then use vertical nets or horizontal nets to support the plants accordingly.
- Tomato Wire Cages– if you don’t need to contain the height of your plants, tomato wire cages offer a good support solution. Similar to trellising, you place the cage around each plant and use it to support the lateral branches.
Pro Grow Tip : Flush your lines regularly to remove the build up of salt and other residues. This will maintain your Ph Levels when watering your cannabis plants
Utilizing Training Techniques
By supporting the plants, you already employ some form of low-stress training. However, while supporting the plants prevents them from wreaking, training them optimizes airflow and light distribution.
Topping is the most used and affordable training technique used to control indoor heights. By pinching the tip of the main stem around the second nodes early enough, the plant focuses on lateral growth, which is controlled using Screen of Green (SCROG).
Monitoring Nutrient and Water Intake
Purple Ghost Candy’s rapid growth brings about specific watering and fertilization. The right nutrient mix supports the healthy development of the plants while optimizing bud development rather than plant growth.
Watering constantly helps to hydrate the plants. Overwatering the growing medium could lead to mold attacks and root rot issues. Ensure the growing medium and pot are well-ranging, and as a rule of thumb, water the plants when the top layer dries out.
Origin And History
Since 2002, Seedsman has made a name by putting out top-tier genetics. One of them is our Purple Ghost Candy cannabis strain. This hybrid sativa strain comes from carefully selected genetics.
Ghost OG was selected for its cerebral and buzzy high. The burnt diesel aroma notes are also said to come from Ghost OG. On the other hand, Candyland Purple brings a blend of vibrant purple hues and a sweet candy taste with uplifting effects. The resulting Purple Ghost Candy inherits the best traits to offer nothing short of an enjoyable and memorable experience.
