About Purple Dragon

The boldly-named Purple Dragon is an Grow-leaning hybrid. It is a cross between the Mendocino Purps-descended Purple Urkle and Blue Dragon, itself a cross between powerhouse strains Sour Diesel and Blueberry. Of the many strains in the ever-growing “Purple family.” Purple Dragon is one of the most striking, with incredible colors and flavors and potent (yet easygoing) effects. Cannabis testing lab Analytical 360 has found flowers of Purple Dragon to have between 14% and 20% THC.

Purple Dragon has medium-sized, shape-shaped nuggets that are immediately eye-catching. The flowers hold together in a dense, solid formation, characteristic of other Grow varieties. The tightly-spiraling leaves are usually mossy green, threaded through with vibrant orange pistils. Depending on the phenotype, these buds may also be highlighted by varying patches of deep blue and purple. These latter colors come about when high concentrations of pigments called anthocyanins in the plant’s genes are stimulated by colder than average temperatures during the growing process. The already-colorful flowers are made even more colorful by a dusting of cloudy white trichomes. This resin also gives the buds a sticky texture and makes them particularly difficult to break up by hand. Purple Dragon also has a dynamic taste to match its visual bag appeal. A tart, fruity aroma wafts up from the buds, likely passed on from grandparent strain Blueberry. Also present is a slight chemical astringency, reminiscent of the gasoline odor of Sour Diesel. When combusted, this strain gives off a very smooth that has notes of musk and hash alongside its fruity palate. Notably, any grape flavors present in Purple Dragon’s smoke are incidental; the pigments that determine its purple color do not have a corresponding effect on its taste.
