Aroma

You know you’re in for a treat when you catch sight of Purple Bud – an amalgamation of stunning colours and subtle hues that paint a picture of what’s to come. The leaves usually remain a deep green shade throughout the flowering cycle, making for a gorgeous contrast with the purple buds. This is all intensified by the aroma, which along with an unmistakable hit of pine freshness is also underpinned by a dreamy, exotic and almost intoxicating note of sandalwood. Irresistible really isn’t a strong enough word.

Smoking Purple Bud

As for the taste, it’s an extremely musky yet delightfully smooth affair, with a good dose of exotic spice and plenty of berry sweetness. The flavour profile is comparatively light, which makes Purple Bud a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, whatever your tastes and preferences.

Strain Effects/Medical Effects

This is an Indica-heavy strain, which in turn means you can expect a strong and immediate body-centred stone. Though far from overpowering, the hit of sedation is certainly strong, but is nonetheless balanced with a delightfully energising and uplifting edge that prevents couchlock and extreme lethargy. In medical circles, Purple Bud is known to do a great job in the treatment of muscle pains, insomnia and for stimulating appetite.
