About Purple Geisha
Purple Geisha is a visually spectacular indica-dominant hybrid. By crossing the sweet, creamy Gelato #33 (Larry Bird cut) with the classic, earthy-grape landrace descendant Purple Kush, they bred a strain characterized by its intense purple coloration and deep berry-cream terpenes. The flowers are medium-sized, highly dense, and completely coated in silver trichomes. The aroma is extremely pleasant, carrying notes of sweet vanilla cream, fresh berries, grape juice, and a classic earthy-pine Kush background. Purple Geisha delivers a relaxing, comfort-inducing physical stone and a calm, happy mental state that is excellent for stress relief.
