Purple Preserves by Compound Genetics

Purple Preserves Strain Info

Ever cracked open a jar of tropical jam and thought, “Damn, this should be smokable”?

That’s exactly the vibe of Purple Preserves, a hybrid bomb dropped by the masterminds at Compound Genetics.

This beauty comes from the potent cross between Pinana and Grape Gas, two strains known for their wild terpene profiles and eye-watering potency.

It’s like they took the essence of a tropical fruit market, lit it on fire with a splash of premium fuel, and captured it in these feminized cannabis seeds.

When she grows, she struts—dense, frosty, and lush, with a green coat that's almost disguised by the sheer amount of trichomes frosting her surface.

She's not purple, but she’s definitely preserving something special.

Each cola glistens like it’s been rolled in sugar, hinting at her high resin production and making her a top pick for hash heads and extract artists.

Flowering Time & Yield

Purple Preserves is a grower’s delight with a tight flowering window of just 8 to 9 weeks.

She’s not shy when it comes to production either—indoors you’re looking at up to 600 grams (21.2 oz) per square meter.

Take her outdoors and she might just reward you with up to 900 grams (31.7 oz) per plant, under the right sun and love.

The yields are medium to high, and her veg time is nice and average, so she won’t keep you waiting forever before she flips into flower mode.

Effects and Aroma

This strain doesn’t whisper—it sings in juicy, fermented fruit notes that hit like a tropical cocktail left to simmer under the sun.

We're talking pineapple, papaya, guava… and just when you think it's sweet, a hit of rotting fruit and high-octane gas kicks in like a punchline to a joke you didn’t see coming.

It’s funky, fruity, and loud—like a Caribbean party with a pit crew on standby.

On the high side, she’s no lightweight either, clocking in at a serious 23% to 27% THC.

Expect a heavy-hitting euphoria that wraps around your head like a velvet fog before melting down into a full-bodied chill that clings to your limbs.

This is not the strain you light up before a to-do list—unless your to-do list is "vibe, snack, and zone out."

With Purple Preserves seeds from Compound Genetics, you’re not just growing weed—you’re growing a sensory experience that borders on the psychedelic.

Growing Tips & What Stands Out

We’ve found that Purple Preserves holds her own pretty well when it comes to pests and mold—those trichomes aren’t just pretty, they’re a shield.

She’s got a decent resistance to common issues, making her a solid option for growers who want results without constant battles.

She thrives in temperate to warm climates where the sun can kiss her buds long and hard, but she’ll also do just fine indoors under a solid light setup.

As for difficulty, we’d call her moderate—not a beginner’s toy, but nothing too crazy if you’ve done a run or two before.

Keep her well-ventilated and don’t slack on training; her structure responds well to topping and low-stress techniques to open up those cola sites.

What really gets our attention is the sheer visual drama of her buds—those trichomes pile on like she’s trying to prove a point.

And she does.
