Reviews
Despite my history of severe anxiety from smoking, I have to admit, this strain completely surprised me! It's been seven years since I last smoked out of concern for my anxiety, but after just one toke of this, I was hit with an immediate case of the giggles. Within half an hour, I was already coming down. When I smoked it again, I experienced more giggles but also a profound body buzz, indicating a more sativa-dominant effect. Surprisingly, I didn't experience any anxiety at all; it was the total opposite. However, when I switched to an indica, it was a completely different story. I sank right into the couch and felt the urge to drift off to sleep.
I recently had the pleasure of trying this strain for the first time, and let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations! While I consider myself quite the cannabis connoisseur, my wife isn't as much of a heavy smoker as I am. However, she was absolutely enamored with this strain. Despite typically experiencing anxiety when smoking, she found that this particular strain melted all her worries away. Normally, she's quick to call it quits, but with this one, she actually asked for more. Trust me, if it's capturing her attention like that, it's definitely worth noting!

Grow Info
Most growers report that working with Purple Haze is a fairly easy experience, which is good news for beginners! This strain has a reputation for being self-sufficient and durable, making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor growing setups. Keep in mind, though, that the strain does tend to favor warmer climates, and ensuring your plants get plenty of sunlight will be key.
When grown indoors, Purple Haze can fare well in soil or in hydroponic setups. Keep the plants safe from extreme changes in temperature and humidity, and you should be able to reap an impressive yield of up to 350-450g/m2. The strain can also do well outdoors in both warm, dry climates and in more temperate, cooler climates. Again, make sure your plants get as much direct sunlight as possible.
