Purple Thunder
Purple Thunder is a name used by multiple breeders for distinct, unrelated hybrid lineages, resulting in two primary versions that offer contrasting effects ranging from energetic stimulation to physical relaxation.
About Purple Thunder
The first lineage is a sativa-dominant hybrid derived from Early Durban and Kodiak Gold. This version is known for an uplifting, euphoric onset that users report promotes focus, sociability, and creativity. Its aroma is defined by sour citrus, woody earth, and spicy undertones, while the flavor profile offers tangy citrus, fresh pine, and a sweet, grounded earthiness.
The second lineage is an indica-leaning hybrid resulting from a cross between Ice Cream and Gelato 33. This version is noted for a rapid, lightning-like euphoric onset that transitions into a full-bodied, grounded calm. Its flavor and aroma are characterized by sweet notes of grape, berry, and herbs, accompanied by earthy undertones.
Plant characteristics
The sativa-dominant version features deep green buds with purple accents, amber pistils, and a thick coating of trichomes. The indica-leaning version produces dense, sticky buds.
