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. If you are looking for Purple Kush seeds with a fresher, more cerebral side, this is our cross of the classic with Mendocino Purple (often shortened to Mendo Purp). 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.
| Terpene | Typical impressions | Contribution to the profile |
|---|---|---|
| Myrcene | Earthy, fruity, musky | A fruity base, supports the indica body effect |
| Linalool | Floral, fresh, slightly sweet | The morning-dew note — floral, fresh and soft |
| Caryophyllene | Spicy, peppery, warm | The spicy Kush character, adds warmth and depth |
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.
Outdoor growing: UK, Europe, USA and Canada
Outdoors up to 800 g per plant. Thrives especially well in warm climates. Easy difficulty — forgiving and robust. Outdoors it is ready from late September to early October in the northern hemisphere.
- Short seasons — the UK, northern and central Europe, Canada and the northern US: with a finish from late September, a greenhouse or polytunnel is the safer choice, as it keeps the dense buds dry in autumn rain. Cool nights at the end of the season bring out the violet tones.
- Long seasons — southern Europe, California and the southern US: the warm climate this strain prefers — full-size plants and the upper end of the yield.

Mendocino Purple Kush is a feminized 60% indica hybrid from the cross Mendocino Purple × Purple Kush. Known for an intense morning-dew grape aroma, violet colours and a surprisingly versatile effect profile: a cerebral start, progressive body relaxation. 20–23% THC.
An indica-dominant hybrid — 60% indica, 40% sativa. The Mendocino Purple share gives a cerebral start; the Purple Kush side brings the body relaxation.
Two-phase: first a cerebral, stimulating effect from the Mendocino Purple share — energy, creativity — then progressive deep body relaxation from the Purple Kush. Increasingly sedating at higher doses, which makes it an evening strain.
Fresh morning dew as a base — a cool, damp note — combined with sweet grape and berry notes and a spicy Kush background. One of the freshest aroma profiles in the purple family.
60–65 days indoors — under LED from 53 days. Outdoors ready late September to early October in the northern hemisphere.
Indoors 500 g/m² as standard, up to 900 g/1.5 m² with a 720 W LED — the highest LED yield in our American purple line. Outdoors up to 800 g per plant.
Purple Urkle is pure Mendocino Purps (80% indica) with a deep, sedating character. Mendocino Purple Kush combines Mendocino Purple with Purple Kush (60% indica) — more balanced, more cerebral at the start, higher LED yield (900 g/1.5m²) and a fresher morning-dew profile.
Yes. Mendocino Purple Kush seeds are feminized — “feminised” in British spelling — so practically every plant is a female that produces buds. It is a photoperiod strain: it flowers when the light is switched to 12/12 indoors, or when the days shorten outdoors.
Yes — the difficulty is rated easy: forgiving and robust, with a compact structure. SCROG helps even out the canopy, and cool night temperatures towards the end of flowering intensify the violet colours.
