Origin
Purple Power is Skunk #1 crossed with Purple Haze, a Dutch classic. Purple Haze supplies the color and the tangy smell; Skunk #1 supplies the yield and the reliability. Its 1998 Cannabis Cup win is why the name has held for decades. It has two descendants on file, and the Dutch seed line is the one with the record.

About
Purple Power is a purple-smelling wake-and-bake sativa built on a 1998 Cup win.
Dutch breeders crossed Skunk #1 with Purple Haze, and the result took first at the 1998 High Times Cannabis Cup. It is an energetic morning strain; the deep purple color is just pigment and does not shift the effect.
The purple is decoration.
What to Expect
Purple Power is built for the start of the day. Leafly's reviewers put relaxed at 76 percent of a solid sample, but energetic sits at 41 and the descriptions emphasize a giggly, uplifting lift that gets people moving. Euphoric follows at 52.
Dry mouth is heavy here at 52 percent, far ahead of dry eyes at 17, and a headache note reaches 17 as well. Keep water close. Not an evening wind-down.
Flavor and Aroma
Purple Power is a deep, tangy smell that sources call the purple smell, with lemon, sourness and a candy note. The flavor is pungent and sweet with a berry edge. It is a sharp, fruity profile.
Terpenes Explained
Purple Power has no terpene test in our data, with Caryophyllene, Pinene and Limonene named and nothing measured.
That tangy purple smell sits in lighter compounds a standard panel does not report, and it is the strain's signature. A jar with a real sharp, sour lift rather than a flat sweetness is the better one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Purple Power THC is reported around 15 to 20 percent, a moderate figure, with one source listing it in the single digits, which is an error. CBD is around one percent.
Purple Power is a moderate strain sold on a Cup win, so buy it for the tangy flavor and the daytime lift, not for strength.
