Purple Ghost Candy: Spooky Good Bud

The Purple Ghost Candy strain owes its potency and flavor/aroma to its popular parent strains. The Ghost OG and Candyland Purple genetics created a fan favorite in PGC. A top choice for both veteran smokers and novice cannabis enthusiasts, the Sativa-dominant bud provides folks with a well-balanced high perfect for evening enjoyment.

With a monster THC content of around 28%, Purple Ghost Candy is super strong but doesn’t overwhelm users. The cerebral high is euphoric but clear, allowing its users to be creative without the cloudiness of other, super-strong varieties. The physical side of the buzz is great for end-of-day relaxation and snuggling up on the couch to watch movies or read a good book. It is warm and inviting and tastes as good as it smells.

Growing Tips for Purple Ghost Candy Seeds

Purple Ghost Candy plants grow to a super tall height and reach a maximum indoor size of around 8 feet and an outdoor height of 11.5 feet. Like most cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment with Mediterranean climates and lots of sunlight, real or artificial, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a solid choice for beginning growers. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.

Establish consistent conditions

Daytime temperatures of approximately 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 21-27 degrees Celsius are ideal for Purple Ghost Candy plants. You can drop the temperatures between 5-15 degrees at night to mimic natural sunlight and nighttime temperatures indoors. Humidity levels should be around 40-50% during the vegetative stage, and maintain the same humidity during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture can help to eliminate the risk of mold while encouraging a more potent terpene profile.

Recommended Training Techniques

Low-stress Training, Topping, and Screen of Green (ScrOG) are the best techniques for the particular strain. These techniques will allow the plant to grow naturally without much outside influence. Topping involves trimming the top-most buds that aren’t producing to allow light and air to reach the bottom of the plant. Topping also helps control the plant’s size and girth. The ScrOG technique requires adding screens or nets to reinforce the heaviest buds so they don’t break the branches during growth. Training techniques can help shape the plant so it does not overgrow, keeping the best and most dense buds on the plant until harvest time.

Fine-tune nutrient levels

All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Purple Ghost Candy prefers a well-balanced nutrient cycle throughout the growth, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

The Purple Ghost Candy cannabis strain has a flowering period of approximately 65-75 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in mid-October. Indoor growers will produce up to 600 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 900 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable.

Dominant Terpenes in Purple Grape Candy

Purple Ghost Candy’s spicy and gassy scent and lemon-like, grape candy flavor are, in part, due to dominant terpenes caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. Caryophyllene is one of the most common terpenes found in nature and cannabis plants. It provides a spicy, peppery flavor and aroma profile. Myrcene is the most abundant terpene found in nature, providing this strain with earthy, musky, and fruity undertones. Limonene is most abundantly found in the rinds of citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. When found in cannabis plants, it can produce a citrusy scent and taste.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Purple Ghost Candy

PGC’s monster THC content of around 28% hits users in a well-balanced fashion. The cerebral buzz isn’t so strong that it clouds the mind and allows users to complete tasks with a gentle euphoria. The physical buzz is calm, mellow, and relaxing, perfect for lazy Sundays and unwinding after a long day at work. Due to its calming nature, it should be used in the evening and at night rather than first thing in the morning. This is definitely not a top choice for wake-and-bake smoke sessions.
