This BC Bud Seed Company creation often produces a very powerful aroma and requires an indoor grow set up.

Purple Lightning is a plant that rarely breaks three feet and can be grown even by first timers. Needing only the basics to grow, this strain usually finishes within a mere 50 days. BC Bud unleashed Purple Lightning upon the world in the year of 1995.
Indica
THC: 20% – 23%
Purple Lights is a 100% pure indica strain created through crossing the infamous Purple Kush X Northern Lights strains. Named for its gorgeous appearance and enlightening effects, Purple Lights is the perfect bud for any indica lover. This bud has small and rounded super heavy minty green nugs with vivid purple undertones, lots of skinny orange hairs and a coating of tiny frosty purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. As you break each little nugget apart, aromas of earthy pine and spicy grapes are released. The flavor is on the fruitier side, with a spicy grape taste accented by sweet woods and earthy pine. The Purple Lights high isn’t quite as bright, with pretty lifted effects that hit both mind and body with a high level of potency due to its 20-23% average THC level. You’ll feel super euphoric from start to finish, with a spacey heady effect that has you fully unfocused and blissfully unaware of anything and everything around you. A sleepy and sedative body effect comes next, leaving you immovable and couch-locked before you finally pass out. These effects give Purple Lights an edge in treating conditions such as insomnia, mood swings, chronic pain, depression and chronic stress or anxiety.
