Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Purple Haze requires that you pay attention to your grow.. The desired temperature for Purple Haze is between 70-80 degrees fahrenheit during the day and drop slightly at night to coax its purple coloration to emerge. A light-rich climate is going to be key to a super healthy grow. At least 14 hours of daylight and 10 hours of darkness through the flowering stage will ensure you hit your yields.
• Moisture control: Purple Haze’s humidity requirements are between 40-50% during the flowering stage. You will want to dial the humidity back a little during the vegetative stage. If the humidity is too low your plants may dry out and lose vital nutrients.
• Training Techniques: Purple Haze plants benefit from using mesh filters due to the high trichome production. You will also want to separate trichomes based on their size. This takes a bit of finesse but is still the easiest route to go when growing Purple Haze.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Purple Haze:

Cannabinoids, although in the background, play an important role in Purple Haze and are a huge part of the genetic makeup of cannabis in general. That creative, happy and relaxed feeling you get when you partake in Purple Haze is due to the dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something a little different and depending on how much THC and CBD there is it can produce a completely different effect on the body and mind.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of Purple Haze. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 19%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant Hybrid is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get from its use. The generous THC levels in Purple Haze are great for getting you up and out of bed in the morning to start your day productively.
• CBD: Low Doses – CBD is a cannabinoid that is not psychoactive but can be found in most cannabis strains. The cannabinoid is found in smaller amounts in Purple Haze and can be used for a lot of medicinal treatments like pain relief. During the growth process the CBG in Purple Haze is converted into THC and CBD.
