Heisenberg Shatter Purple Punch

Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple, which Leafly calls two indica-dominant classics, are the parents of Purple Punch, the strain behind this glassy Heisenberg shatter.

Supernova Gardens and an 80/20 split

Our Purple Punch guide credits the cross to the breeder Supernova Gardens. AllBud, which spells the second parent Grand Daddy Purps, calls the result a rare indica dominant hybrid and weighs it at 80% indica to 20% sativa, while Leafly files it under hybrid. Leafly also lists Mimosa and Slurricane as strains bred from Purple Punch.

Short plants and an 8 to 9 week bloom

Leafly’s grow notes call Purple Punch easy to grow and medium-yielding, with plants that stay short to medium, especially in soil, and finish flowering in 8 to 9 weeks.

From a cold snap to a dab

Shatter is a translucent extract with the look of glass, brittle enough to snap when cold. The usual routes are a dab or a few pieces crumbled over flower. Production, potency and everyday use of shatter are all covered in our guide to what shatter is; for the soft, scoopable alternative, our shatter-and-wax comparison puts the two textures next to each other.

Purple Punch shatter and a first puff

Hash, kief, wax and shatter make up the short list of THC-rich extracts that Health Canada flags in its advice on lowering risks, and it asks first-timers and occasional consumers to stay clear of all four. Anyone inhaling cannabis is pointed toward a cautious opener, a single puff or a second, from products of 10% THC or below. The agency’s guidelines on lower-risk use then put a 6-hour buffer, at least, between using cannabis and taking the wheel.
