Purple #1
Purple #1 is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage, as its precise parentage remains unknown. Due to its balanced genetic composition, it has gained a reputation in cultivation circles for being a moderate-difficulty plant that offers a high yield in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a 60-day flowering period, marking it as a reliable option for those seeking consistent production cycles.
The chemical profile of Purple #1 is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary terpenes. This specific combination shapes the sensory experience, offering an aroma and flavor profile derived directly from its dominant myrcene content layered with the spicy undertones of the secondary caryophyllene and the bright hints of limonene.
As a THC-dominant variety, Purple #1 is noted for producing effects that are typically relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those addressing concerns related to stress, pain, or the pursuit of sleep. Its influence on cannabis genetics continues to be recognized, most notably through its role in the development of the Purple 1 x Supersilver Haze cross.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
