About Purple Kush
A pure indica cross from Oakland, known for colour and for a short flowering period.
Purple Kush combines two indica lines and carries no sativa heritage, which is unusual among cultivars still in wide circulation.
As with other purple cultivars, the colour depends heavily on finishing temperature.
