American Purple is a four-way, sativa-dominant hybrid strain producing high yields of large flowering clusters. American Purple benefits from the genetics of Gran Daddy Purple, Purple Urkle, Big Bud with Purple Haze added for good measure.

American Purple plants bear a small number of large, sativa-shaped leaves with long, thin fingers. Inter-nodal distance is quite large allowing for good air-circulation amongst the plant's interior leaves. The smell can be quite pervasive and so it is strongly recommended to use carbon filters when growing indoors. Indoors, flowering times are between 65 - 70 days while outdoor, northern latitude crops will be ready during the month of October. Production of its purple buds is high.

American Purple exudes a scent of sweet forest fruits and sweet flavours of grapes and wild berries with a hint of heather honey.
