Genetics
Purple Punch cannabis strain is a cross between Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple.
Larry OG
Larry OG, sometimes called Lemon Larry, has been around for a few years now making the rounds at dispensaries throughout the West Coast and Colorado. This Indica originally hails from Orange County, and made a name for itself by winning 1st place for a medical Indica strain in Cannabis Cup 2014.
Larry OG strain is derived from a cross between the beloved OG Kush and the SFV OG Kush. The THC count of Larry OG is high at around 21%. Its CBD is usually around 0.5%.
The Larry OG nugs are visually appealing. With a minty green texture covered with an abundance of trichromes and orange-brown hair, the dense nugs seem to retain the right proportions of moisture, thus is lucrative to marijuana enthusiasts. Lemon is the dominant aroma of the Larry OG, thus justifying its alternate name “Lemon Larry.” You might notice the earthy and pine undertone scents upon subsequent sniffs.
Granddaddy Purple
Granddaddy Purple (aka Grand Daddy Purps) is one of the most popular Indica strains on the west coast and is perhaps the most well known ‘purple’ cannabis strain in the US.
Created back in 2003 by Ken Estes in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ken and his team sought out to create the ultimate Indica hybrid by merging two strains with fantastic genetics – Purple Urkle and Big Bud. The product of these two, Grand Daddy Purple, is a spitting image of it’s parents’ two best qualities – the deep and dark purple hue from Purple Urkle and the overgrown, dense buds of Big Bud. The dark purple buds blend well with the bright orange hairs and frosted white trichomes that generously cover the bud making it an extremely photogenic strain.
From San Francisco down to Los Angeles, Granddaddy Purple is one of the most sought after Indica strains due to it’s Hollywood looks and classic Indica effects. Despite this popularity, however, many growers and those working in the dispensary world have claimed that Grand Daddy Purps is almost identical to another famous purple strain – Grape Ape.
