Purple Tears is a modern hybrid-indica strain developed from Querkle genetics. This cultivar is categorized as a high-yielding variety suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a moderate cultivation difficulty and a flowering cycle that concludes in exactly 63 days.
The chemical profile of Purple Tears is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene as secondary and tertiary terpenes. This specific combination influences the sensory experience of the strain, grounding the aroma and flavor in the distinct characteristics provided by these three dominant compounds.
When consumed, the effects of Purple Tears are reported as relaxed, calm, and focused. These qualities make the strain particularly suited for addressing pain, stress, and sleep. As a genetic parent, the strain has contributed to the development of several notable offspring, including Purple Train, Purple Who, Super Purple Haze, and Y2K Purps.
