Key specifications

Genetics and origin

Mendocino Purple Kush brings together two purple legends from Northern California:

• Mendocino Purple — from the famous Mendocino County, known for a cerebral, activating effect and a complex fruit aroma with grape and berry notes. A parent of the Purple Urkle line.
• Purple Kush — a classic Kush indica known for a deep, sedating body effect, a spicy aroma and intense violet colouring.

The result: a 60% indica hybrid that combines the cerebral character of Mendocino Purple with the deep body relaxation of Purple Kush — a surprisingly versatile effect profile. Part of the American Strains collection.

Mendocino Purple Kush effect

What sets Mendocino Purple Kush apart from classic Kush strains: the Mendocino Purple share brings a surprisingly cerebral, activating character — despite the 60% indica dominance:

• Cerebral start — the Mendocino Purple heritage: mental stimulation, energy, creative drive
• Progressive body relaxation — the Purple Kush genetics take over: deep muscle relaxation
• Long-lasting — 20–23% THC delivers an intense, long-lasting experience
• Evening and night — increasingly sedating as the effect progresses

Aroma and terpene profile

The aroma profile is unique in the purple family: fresh morning dew as a base — a cool, damp note reminiscent of early morning — combined with sweet grape and berry notes and an earthy Kush background. Among growers the Mendocino strain (or Mendocino Kush) is prized for exactly these Purple Kush terpenes — myrcene, linalool and caryophyllene.

Growing — indoor and outdoor

Indoor growing

Flowering time 60–65 days (LED: 53–58 days). Yield: 500 g/m² standard, up to 900 g/1.5 m² with a 720 W LED — the highest LED yield in the American purple line. SCROG recommended for even growth and maximum bud size. Lush foliage, compact structure. Cool night temperatures intensify the violet tones.
