These figures are ranges, not promises. Flowering time, harvest date and yield vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →

About Purple Rain
Genetics & strain profile
Purple Rain is an 80% indica, 20% sativa strain bred by Quebec Cannabis Seeds, with 20 to 23% THC and low CBD. We built it for growers who want a short, sturdy indica that finishes early and tastes of fruit rather than fuel: the flavour profile is peach, apricot and cotton candy, which is unusual in an indica this heavy. It suits both new and experienced growers. It is a newer addition to the catalogue, so there are no customer reviews yet — the figures below come from our own grows, and we will add grower reports as they come in. If you want to be the first, we would love to hear how it does in your region.
How Purple Rain grows
The plants stay around 100 to 120 cm and are resilient, which makes Purple Rain a good fit for a small tent, a balcony or a discreet corner of the garden. Indoors it flowers in just 8 to 9 weeks with up to 500 g/m²; because it stays short, you can give it a longer veg or run more plants per square metre. Outdoors, expect to harvest around the end of September, which suits Canada and other northern climates, with up to 400 g per plant depending on conditions. Like most purple indicas, it colours up best with cooler nights in the last weeks of flower, and its dense buds appreciate good airflow in a wet September.
Taste, aroma and effect
Sweet and fruity: peaches and apricots up front with a cotton-candy sweetness behind them, and a soft, floral finish. The effect is a relaxing body high with an uplifting side — calm without being a knockout, which makes it a good evening strain that still leaves you sociable. At 20 to 23% THC it is moderately strong. For other early-finishing purples, see Quebec Black Bud and Granddaddy Purple.
