Scent: Uncanny, amazingly sweet grape Kool-Aid aroma that surpasses almost any of the Purple grape varieties

Flavor: Very sweet and enduring grape flavor that almost matches the smell, with a thick, expansive smoke

Effects: A fast starter, this strain hits the eyes and body very strongly, providing a sense of warmth and relaxation immediately.  Almost disorienting, it leaves the user tied to a sitting position simply from its power.  Major mood elevation follows quickly, melting away the problems of the day while the warm body effects help to sooth tense muscles.

PURPLE VOODOO STRAIN INFORMATION

General Information

Type:  Hybrid

Genetics:  Double Purple Doja x Urkle x Purple Cheese

Geographic Origin:  California, USA

Seed Company/Clone: California Bean Bank

Description: A slow vegging plant due to the Urkle influence, it often finishes a deep shade of purple, but many plants finish as a very dark green.  At times a good yielder, there is a lot of variation in phenotypes, so it required diligent selection to find a real winner.

Flowering Time: 65-70 days

Preferred Growing Medium:

Patient Expectations

Scent: Sweet and incense-heavy, it also has hashy/earthy elements that come out to varying degrees.

Flavor: Spicy, sweet, and pungent in its ideal form, at times it’s simply earthy with a hint of incense.

Effects: Not like a normal Purple strain in that the Sativa effects take the edge off of the normally narcotic effects.  To start, it actually feels rather Sativa in nature, starting strongly with a package of head pressure fluctuations and a slightly excited, floaty body.  The second half gets more sedate and relaxing on a base level, trending towards couchlock and even aiding sleep at higher dosages and depending on context.  Appetite stimulation was a big part of this strain, and it otherwise provided a solid hybrid relaxation, both mentally and physically.
