Why does cannabis turn purple?

One question that we hear often is: Why does cannabis turn purple? Let’s explain.

To many, purple cannabis is a phenomenon, perhaps even a trick, but rest assured that nature has the answer as to why cannabis can turn purple. The key elements here are called anthocyanins. This group of water-soluble pigments can appear red, purple or blue depending on pH-level. In general, anthocyanins occur in all tissues of plants, including their leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruits. Purple cannabis strains in particular often show off their purple color in the leaves and buds. So, while chlorophyll is what gives cannabis and plants in general their green color, anthocyanin is what makes it purple.

Many strains of cannabis purple when exposed to cold, but selective breeding programs have yielded cannabis genetics that can turn purple even in normal environmental conditions. Depending on the genotype of the cannabis plant, these anthocyanins may be expressed in the latter part of the flowering period, irrespective of environmental conditions, and the may express in cold conditions.

When does cannabis turn purple?

Now that we know why cannabis turns purple, the subsequent question is the “When?”. If a cannabis plant has the genetics to be predispositioned to anthocyanin accumulation, it can indeed turn purple when the temperatures in the growing environment drop. When exposed to low temperatures near the end of flowering, leaves and calyxes can rapidly change colour from dark green to lavender or violet, and by this we mean 1 to 3 weeks before harvest time.

Please note, not all Purple strains listed in this category require a cold snap to bring on their colour change, and will often turn violet in normal temperatures.

Taste and effect of Purple cannabis strains
Purple cannabis strains tend to smell and taste like mouth-watering, fresh grapes and berries. The fruity, sweet aroma often mixes with a rich woody, pine/sandalwood bouquet. Some strains have a unique sweet-sour flavour, or show traces of deeply earthy Haze undertones. The consumer will notice that smell and taste are often alike, so no surprises there. What you see is what you get!

When it comes to effect, Purple strains often provide a quick, superb, soaring high to that can last for a while, but is by no means uncomfortable. The energetic up high is often times followed by a long-lasting body buzz.
