I love this strain it was one of the first ones I've ever grown and have always had a good turnout everytime I grew it.

Leafly has left out the list of the different versions of the widely popular pk. The 3 versions are SR-71 pk, the most commonly available where I am (toronto, Las Vegas Purple Kush, and Garberville Purple Kush. The SR-71 cut is thought to be a very similar to Purple Urkle (possibly a hybrid) and has more of the typical "purple"/hashy grape flavor — it was passed most commonly by the SR-71 (now Blue Sky) Coffeeshop in the "Oaksterdam" section of Oakland, CA and may be Purple Afghani x Hindu Kush. The Garberville Purple Kush is most notably held by Swerve of Cali Connection Seeds fame and tends to grow with some foxtails and has more of a straight-up Kush taste/smell with hints of the "purple". Kyle Kushman's Las Vegas Purple Kush was claimed in a New Yorker article to be a special Purple Indica x Northern Lights find, but many have since claimed it's an S1 Bubba Kush of some kind due to the dark flavors present. And finally, many old-school people claim that none of the famous clone-only PK's around are in fact the original Purple Kush, which is said to be a very special Purple Pakistani variety that was found in the late 70's or early 80's. The original cuts of GPK are shrouded in folklore, so there are several different phenotypes around. Although there are many companies and breeders selling the various types of pk in seed form, all 3 are supposed to be clone-only.
A default Go To Indica. Excellent strain (and almost "old school" now, in this age of a billion strains). Has the classic Kush flavours, tastes and smell (nice!) and the buzz is legendary - very comfortable and can last a solid 3 hours. If you want to know what a good Indica should be, Purple Kush answers the call in my books.
I smoked a huge joint full of this strain in the early morning, so I can't say much for its reputation as an insomnia solution, but it did put me in something of a lazy state. Purple K has an incredibly long lasting high. About an hour after that first joint, I was ready to smoke a big bowl of its hash, which kept me high nearly all day.
got a 5g batch of this from LP: Tilray.
Its got a very pungent smell, similar to that of some kind of grape flavoured gum and Kush mixed together. The taste is identical to the smell described. This sample was 11.3%THC, however for such shockingly low thc, and priced at only 8$/G, this sexy purple lady had a bang for your buck! quite seriously one of the best examples of purple kush ive ever had. ive had purple kush over 75+ Times. in all seriousness. some with THC Counts as high as 24%, yet and still, this Purple Kush Example stacks up. it was cured to freakin' perfection, with a perctly dry texture on the outside, and a nice sticky icky texture on the inside. covered in PURPLE chunks of bud. Excellent smoke. Good for bed-Time and eating. in LARGE DOSES, can be good for pain.

This is my first cannabis review . So Iv smoked a lot of bud recreationally and medically over the years , and after I smoked Purple Kush I knew I had to write a review . Back in 2006 I was diagnosed with RR MS . I suffer with a lot of muscle stiffness , nerve pain , lack of appetite , shity sleep . This strain helps with all those discomforts . Iv never experienced weed that literally took my muscle and nerve pain away . Honestly I don’t feel any of my discomfort after smoking this strain . This stain is amazing , and it will also knock you on your ass with the munchies and heavy eyelids . Anywho I hope this review helps anyone else who suffers from MS .
Like a previous review I smoked a bowl, felt that initial wave of relaxation and as I was going to pack the second bowl I stopped and starting to feel the sativa effect wondered "hum should I?" Well I did anyway and that was it for me!!! I've been smoking kings Kush for a week and that was play compared to this monster! Enjoy responsibly ✌️🙏❤️
Hits you fast but is definitely long lasting. Smoked a bowl before bed and was out like a light within 30min and stayed asleep! If you're an indica lover, this strain is amazing.
