Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Purple Punch is one of those finicky strains that requires a lot of attention and confidence to grow. For indoors, invest in a solid temperature and humidity controlled system, and ensure your grow space receives a good amount of ventilation. For outdoors, choose a spot for your garden that has ample sunlight and well-draining soil. Monitoring and adjusting these conditions as needed will help your Purple Punch cannabis plants grow and get to those bulky yields that you desire. Ideally, Purple Punch performs best in a sunny, outdoor, Mediterranean-esque environment.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Purple Punch plants grow well indoors and grow very well outdoors. The ideal temperature for these plants is a between 68-77 degrees fahrenheit. When it comes to lighting you will want to start with 18/6 hours of light to promote growth. Shifting to a 24 hour light cycle indoors will help guide these plants through the flowering stage to harvest.
•  Moisture control: The Purple Punch strain requires ample humidity levels of around 40-50% during the vegetative stage and 30-40% during the flowering stage which will help prevent mold and bud rot.
• Training Techniques: Topping and low-stress training can really help with the success of Purple Punch. LST and topping encourage light to reach all levels of the plant, ensuring that every bud grows to its full potential.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Purple Punch:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Purple Punch seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That euphoric, happy and relaxed feeling you get when using the Purple Punch strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a huge 21%, the THC in the Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and sleepy feeling you get with Purple Punch.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Purple Punch are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep and even stress. The CBD in the Purple Punch strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
