Mendocino Purps

Mendocino Purps goes by a ton of names – Mendocino Purple, Mendo Purps, or even just, The Purps. This strain was bred by BC Bud Depot, originally only from clones but eventually from seeds. Their work paid off because it won Strain of the Year for High Times in 2007 and has been a popular heavy-hitter ever since.

Northern California cannabis lovers can often be seen with Purps as their strain of choice. It grows well in temperate climates, indoors and outdoors, and can reach 7 feet tall when properly cared for. Experienced growers note that Mendocino Purps is not ideal for novice growers as it requires a bit of finagling in terms of stress training and trimming to maximize the yield. Purps plants require strong support because the leaves and buds are so heavy that the branches can break. The Sea of Green method comes highly recommended for this strain. The plant’s thick leaves begin as bright green and progress to a more purple tone as the plant matures.
