About Purple Chem
Purple Chem sits at 80 percent indica, and Cali Connection Seeds' version of it tests around 15 percent THC, a modest number that undersells how demanding this plant actually is to raise. Grow difficulty here is rated difficult, not moderate, so it suits growers who already have a few harvests under their belt. In exchange for that extra attention, an 8 to 9 week flowering period yields plants that stay compact at 80 to 120 centimeters indoors, producing 400 to 500 grams per square meter. Its terpene lineup runs through myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool, with caryophyllene oxide, humulene, and pinene rounding things out into a fuller-bodied aromatic profile than the THC number alone would suggest. This is a plant that asks more of the grower than most indicas its size.
