Heartland Industries-Small Bud-Mendo Purps (SH)

Whether you call it The Purps, Mendo Purps, Mendocino Purps, or Mendocino Purple, it’s pretty clear this is a Northern California strain. Originally clone-only, breeder BC Bud Depot eventually created a seed version dubbed The Purps. BC says its plant has high THC and purple tinged leaves with a sweet, fruity taste and earthy scent.

BC says it has a powerful uplifting effect, though others say it’s not for inexperienced users and can lead to couch-lock. Mendo Purps won High Times’ Strain of the Year in 2007.
