About Purple Punch
Purple Punch was created by Symbiotic Genetics by crossing two California legends: Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. The result is an indica-dominant hybrid that delivers a memorable punch of berry, grape, and raisin wine flavors with a creamy vanilla finish. The buds are dense and frosty with vivid purple and blue hues that deepen as they cure. Effects are deeply sedating and relaxing — a classic nighttime strain that melts stress and pain away without overwhelming the mind. Purple Punch became a top seller nationwide and one of the defining indica hybrids of the 2010s.
