Purple Bud Automatic is a feminized multiple hybrid with roots connecting some of the most important cannabis gene-pools in the world. The main ancestors of this strain can be traced directly to the legendary indica cultivars of Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush mountain range. Other parent plants which contributed to the Purple Bud breeding program have their origins in the Caribbean, and in California’s medicinal cannabis community.
Purple Bud Automatic produces many shades other than green, with foliage ranging from dark blue-green, to lavender and violet, to burgundy and dark red. Unlike strains where purple colouring is mostly caused by low temperatures and is seen mainly in the leaves, the colours of Purple Bud Automatic are seen in its calyxes and large buds as well as in its leaves.
While low temperatures in the flowering period can certainly accentuate this strain’s purple tendency, plants which enjoy perfect conditions all through their growing and flowering cycles should also display interesting colours. It’s not uncommon to see Purple Bud Automatic finish with lime green leaves that serve to accentuate its deep purple buds.

Strain FAQ
What traits are common for strains with Asian Central heritage?
Many Central Asian Indica strains have large leaves, modest stature, and thick buds. This shape optimises solar absorption and moisture retention in their native growth environments.
Have auto-flowering strains' THC levels changed?
A revolution has occurred in auto-flowering. Previously low in THC, selective breeding has increased their potency quite quickly! Some auto-flowering cultivars now outperform photoperiod ones when it comes to sheer potency!
What does hybrid cannabis strain phenotypic variation mean?
Individual plants in a hybrid strain can vary in colour, height, and bud structure. Breeders can improve and stabilise desired traits by selecting certain phenotypes and thereby improve the strain.
