About Purple Diamonds
Purple Diamonds is perhaps one of the most famous Indica strains around yet it’s origins are still mostly a mystery. What we do know is that the strain has been around since the 1980’s and was originally grown in the Emerald Triangle area of northern California (Humboldt County). It is regularly referred to as “Purple Urple” and occasionally “The Urkle”.
While most veteran cannabis growers in the Emerald Triangle region are generally tight lipped about their strain hybrids and genetics, most growers assume Purple Diamond was the offspring of either Mendocino Purps or Granddaddy Purple.
It’s effects, taste and smell are fairly consistent with most purple strains of marijuana when grown properly. Purple Diamond has a sweet and skunky smell generally containing the aromas of tropical fruit, grapes, fruity pebbles and skunk. As with many heavy Indica strains it’s effects can be quite lethargic and relaxing making it an excellent strain for insomnia and anxiety. It is also used regularly for pain management and as an appetite stimulant.
Due to it’s sedating effects it is best left for late evening or night time use. It has also been known to be a ‘two-hitter-quitter’ strain – meaning two hits is generally enough to get the full effects. With THC percentages well into the 20’s we would recommend lower doses to start, especially for novice users.
Purple Diamond is a very slow growing strain especially when growing outdoors. When growing outside it generally takes a full 5 months to flower while flowering time indoors can be as quick as 8 weeks. As with many Indica’s the strain remains fairly short and stocky with yields slightly lower than average. Expect 1-2 ounces per plant on an indoor grow and roughly 1/2 pound per plant on an outdoor grow.

I smoke every day all day I get a half pound of this and it last a long time. Three weeks usualy. There isn’t too many seeds and I would say it’s grown outdoors.
Great tast smoke it make edibles or r.s.o. keeps me able to smoke on a budget and while I’m waiting for my plants to grow I have lots of smoke. And if I want a little better I can order a heavy hitter for the night time to just chill .
Good job who ever grew this
And thank you

***SEEDS*** do not be alarmed by the sale price trust 49yrs old been smoking since I was 15 when I say do not let that word scare u off.
Yes There are some pods and dried out ones but hardly any, WHICH Brings me to MY NEXT POINT about how GOOD BWIB is when it comes to quality control because juts because it had the slightest amount of seeds like hardly many to even worry about they take the lose in order to keep their GOOD REPUTATION AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.
AS a customer of BWIB for about 6-7yrs now I can honestly say I have had nothing but AAAA SERVICE AND QUALITY PRODUCT ALWAYS.
If your looking save few bucks on budget don’t be afraid to give this a try it’s more then worth the value and quality is good also smell taste High also.

The buds I got are Medium-Big. No purple in my batch. It smells good but not strong, subtle. You can crush it easily with scissors or with your hands. It lost it’s flavour when you smoke it because of the dryness. Good feeling on the buzz, here we are covered as usual. You will feel it about halfway on your J like any other strain of this grade. Overall it’s a good surprise batch as you will like it once you smoke it and feel it because it’s appearance and smell are just ok.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the parcel and just as surprised once I’d sampled. Not a strong buzz but a pleasant body and head effect. Very good value!
