The purple color in cannabis results from painstaking genetic selection and is often boosted by growing conditions, such as cooler temperatures that trigger the production of anthocyanin, the same pigment that gives blueberries their color. However, the allure of purple cannabis goes beyond its vibrant hues. These plants also offer unique flavors and effects, so let's take a look at our Top 10 Best Purple Strains that will conquer the hearts and palates of cannabis connoisseurs.
Strawberry Pie Auto
Opening our Top 10 Best Purple Strains list is the award-winning Strawberry Pie Auto. This strain is perfect for Sea of Green setups due to its typically short and squat structure as as well as its abundant harvests even in smaller 2.5L pots.
This autoflower displays beautiful pinkish hues in late flower and emits an aroma of diesel and fruit, with just a pinch of creamy terps. The smoke is a great choice for an afternoon session, especially when you need some peaceful "me" time. The well-rounded high will keep you alert, while deeply relaxing your entire body from head to toe.
Strawberry Pie has a beautiful Indica structure and is incredibly resilient. I grew her once in the winter on the balcony and she still performed great. She can use some light defoliation to expose some lower bud sights and also performs great with higher doses of nutrients. - Sebastian Goode
Cherry Cola Auto
The next entry on our list is one of the strongest autoflower releases of 2022 and a favorite of Sebastian and many other autoflower growers. Cherry Cola Auto delivers flavorful potency with up to 29.936% and the exact taste of a delicious fruity soft drink with a fizzy background.
This Indica-Sativa hybrid offers the best of both worlds, which can be seen in its lush and strong side branching, its rapid rate of growth – as it almost doubles in size during the pre-flower stretch – and its effects, which start with a joyful, euphoric high and become more and more sedating as you keep smoking. It’s hard to find a strain that offers the benefits of both ends of the genetic spectrum as perfectly as Cherry Cola Auto.
LSD-25 Auto
One of the most popular strains in Fast Buds' history, LSD-25 Auto not only ages like wine but also smells like it, thanks to its intoxicating mix of berry, woody, and earthy aromas.
LSD-25 is the favorite strain of the Fast Buds team. The smell is so complex that you won't stop inhaling and guessing its varied notes, and the high goes straight to the head with a wonderfully stoned feeling. The cured buds have beautiful colors and flavors, and after just a few tokes, you’ll feel their potent effects. Despite being one of our first releases, this strain continues to gain popularity due to its ease of cultivation, stunningly beautiful dark-purple buds, and mind-bending effects that’ll transport you to another dimension!
Purple Punch Auto
A Cali sensation in autoflower form, Purple Punch Auto smells amazing and tastes even better, as it delivers the super sweet terpene mix of blueberry and freshly baked muffins. This is what made the photoperiod original so popular, and its autoflower offspring is just as good but much faster – it finishes in as little as 9 weeks.
Purple Punch Auto's buds are an eye candy with their mix of dark-green and light-purple hues, and with up to 24% THC, they offer effects that punch you right between the eyes. This mellow, clear-headed high makes you surprisingly stoned and super happy.
Gorilla Punch Auto
Another champion that keeps filling our trophey cabinet with more and more prizes! Gorilla Punch Auto is the winner of the Autoflower World Cup 2022 and American Autoflower Cup 2023. It fuses quality and quantity into one high-yielding purple plant that produces up to 26% THC in 8-9 weeks.
This plant's unique smell alone sets her apart from other autoflower strains thanks to her sweet, skunky, and diesel terps. She’s a real pleasure to grow, even in challenging climates where you would expect issues like powdery mildew or nutrient deficiencies – Gorilla Punch Auto will push through all obstacles. Beginner consumers beware: this is an extremely potent strain that will get you in an overall happy, no-worries state but will leave you severely couch-locked if you don’t have a high enough tolerance.
Blackberry Auto
Our first award winner and still one of our most popular autoflowers to date, Blackberry Auto is breathtakingly beautiful, boasting really dark purple buds with pinkish hues that never cease to amaze us. This strain smokes amazingly smooth thanks to her sour, fruity, and earthy terps, and despite her relatively modest THC content, she’s quite potent. Even long-time patients have to dial back the dosage when medicating themselves with Blackberry Auto.
The effects hit your brain with light euphoria at first, and then comes a gentle relaxation that leaves you at peace and gives you the munchies before putting you to sleep. No matter how strong your insomnia is, this medicine does the job. We highly recommend this strain for both medical and recreational consumers, especially for lovers of Indica-dominant purple autoflowers.
Banana Purple Punch Auto
One of the strongest autoflowers on the market, Banana Purple Punch is the perfect example of the “great things come in small packages” rule. This strain produces beautiful dark-purple buds with up to 30.4% THC in just 8 weeks.
Banana Purple Punch is super resilient and can produce even during winter – when other strains struggle – making it foolproof for growers of all levels of expertise who want to get 100% out of it. This is one of two-time American Autoflower Cup winners and one of Chubbs' favorites, as this plant not only responds well to LST and defoliation with no noticeable setbacks but also offers joyful, profoundly happy effects combined with delicious creamy, strawberry-like, and citrus flavors.
Ztrawberriez Auto
Another purple beauty and another award winner. Ztrawberriez Auto is probably one of the tastiest autos we've created. This sweet combination of two flavorful Cali strains produces extremely well with very little maintenance, producing some of the sweetest-smelling purplish/pinkish buds with up to 25 % THC.
We highly recommend this strain for every type of smoker, as the nugs burst with berry and creamy aromas and the effects set the perfect mood for Netflix and chill.
Purple Lemonade Auto
It's Fast Buds' staple purple strain, beloved by many in our team. This Indica-leaning hybrid has become our bestselling seed line of all time, offering everything you would expect from a top-shelf purple auto – XXL yields, beautiful light-pink and dark-purple hues, and a thick coat of 'frost'.
Besides being a pleasure to grow, Purple Lemonade Auto boasts a unique terpene profile that tastes just like a cannabis-infused lemonade with a pinch of diesel terps. Her powerful stoney high will make you crawl to the nearest couch and stay there for hours, losing track of time.
Lemon Cherry Cookies™
Another of Sebastian’s favorites, Lemon Cherry Cookies™ Auto, grows like it’s turbocharged. If you need to see it to believe it, wel, you can: all of this and more can be seen in his "Grow on the Go" video series. This strain is an absolute joy to cultivate; it’s super easy and resilient and a great example of what modern autoflowers are capable of. Just like the Purple Lemonade Auto, this is a foolproof autoflower recommended for beginner growers looking to get perfect purple nugs with up to 28.5% THC with minimal maintenance.
The flowers are a deep, deep purple covered in frost and red hairs, making them look picture-perfect, and the smell is sweet and fruity with floral hints, creating a composition that is halfway between a bowl of fruits, cherries at peak ripeness, and a touch of creamy milk. The joyful cerebral buzz combined with powerful and long-lasting relaxation makes you feel like you’re lying on a feathery cloud while eating a bag or red berry candy. In short, it's a plant that everyone should grow at some point in their lives.
Conclusion
Purple strains are much, much more than just pretty colors. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, pain relief, a burst of creativity, or just that top-shelf bag appeal, we have a purple strain for you!
