Old Family Purple is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Purple Urkel, T-1000, and Triangle Kush. This genetic combination has established the strain as a notable progenitor in contemporary cultivation, serving as the direct parent to offspring such as G:1000 and Pound Town. Growers can expect a moderate cultivation difficulty, with plants reaching harvest after a 63-day flowering period, consistently providing high yields in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The chemical profile of Old Family Purple is defined by a complex sequence of terpenes, led by a dominant concentration of myrcene followed by caryophyllene and linalool. This aromatic base is further nuanced by the presence of limonene, humulene, and pinene, with secondary notes contributed by beta-pinene, bisabolol, and ocimene. This distinct terpene structure influences the sensory experience, grounding the floral and earthy notes typically expected from its complex parentage in a precise, layered bouquet.
As a THC-dominant variety, Old Family Purple is recognized for inducing states characterized by feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a functional choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its documented influence on modern breeding, the strain maintains a consistent reputation for delivering these therapeutic outcomes while contributing to the development of robust new cultivars.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
