Purple City Genetics Cannabis Seeds

The name trips people up. Purple City Genetics doesn't breed for purple buds, and picking one of these strains won't guarantee you a violet plant. Colour mostly comes down to how far your night temps drop late in bloom. What this Oakland, California breeder is actually chasing is flavour and resin, so what you get is dessert weed: grape, cream, citrus and butter biscuit, on plants that stack hard.

Where the Purple City Genetics Gene Pool Comes From

Blueprint, Gushers and Cookies Turn Up Again and Again

Blueprint (Runtz x F1 Durb x Gushers) is the backbone of half this shelf. Fillmore Slim crosses a Mac 121 x Purple Punch hybrid with Blueprint S1. Acid Wash comes from GMO x Strawnana crossed with Blueprint. Alfajores is Cookies'n'Cream x Blueprint, which is where those classic Cookies smells come from. Velvet Lushers is Gushers x Gush Mints, and Platinum Bird brings Gelato #33 to Gush Mints. Bulletproof Wallet, Chapel Of Love and Forbidden Blueprint round out the range. If the jars you keep going back to are Zkittlez and Cookies types, you already speak the flavour language here. If you want the wider picture first, the whole cannabis seeds shop puts these next to the rest of our breeders.

S1 Selections and the 500-Pack Collab

Two of the 14 are S1 selections: Blueprint S1, and Gush Mints S1 (Kush Mints x F1 Durb and Gushers), the loudest thing here at over 30% THC. Tropical Treatz is the exclusive Purple City Genetics x Zamnesia Seeds project, Candy Rain crossed with Papayabomb, sitting around 20% THC and limited to 500 packs. That gives you the THC percentage band for this shelf, from roughly 20% up past 30%, with the rest of the range described by flavour and structure rather than by numbers. Watch out for that 500, because limited drops don't get reprinted, and older Purple City Genetics cuts that sell out here tend to stay gone.

Which Purple City Genetics Pack To Start With

In a Hurry? Berry Bonds Auto and Afberry Autoflower

Berry Bonds Auto comes from Orange Diesel Koosh x Afberry and runs 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest, with a sweet berry bite over citrus. Afberry Autoflower descends from Koosh x Afghan Kush Auto and finishes in 9-10 weeks from germination. Both are simple grows, but neither will match the photoperiods on weight. Velvet Lushers pulls up to 650g/m² indoors and up to 1200g per plant outside, so if you've got the time and headroom, take the photoperiod route.

Flavour First: Fillmore Slim, Fresh Pressed Runtz and Platinum Bird

Crack a curing jar of Fillmore Slim and you get sweet-and-sour grape sitting on top of custard pie, then a bold cream flavour on the inhale. It's compact enough for a tent and done in 8-9 weeks, though it vegges vigorously, so plan on regular defoliation and pruning or it'll close up on itself. Fresh Pressed Runtz is the 50/50 hybrid of the group, 9-10 weeks indoors, lemon and creamy fruit, and it takes training well. Platinum Bird finishes around 9 weeks with very few leaves, which makes trimming quick, and tastes like key lime pie.

Never grown a Purple City Genetics strain before? Fresh Pressed Runtz is the one we'd hand you: forgiving, heavy, and hard to ruin. Keep Gush Mints S1 for your second or third run, once you know what to do with a plant that resinous.
