Purple Punch strain: what the lab panels show
Purple Punch is the cross widely told as Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple. Among the products on the Las Vegas superstore's shelf that carry a lab panel, Purple Punch comes as one infused pre-roll and three vapes from Packarillos, Provisions and Stiiizy.
What it is
The usual telling makes Purple Punch a Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple cross, a widely circulated account rather than a lab fact. What we can state is what a lab measured: the batches on our shelf now, when a batch is in, and the ones we wrote this guide from, below.
What is on our shelf now
Among the products on the Las Vegas superstore's shelf that carry a lab panel, Purple Punch comes as one infused pre-roll and three vapes from Packarillos, Provisions and Stiiizy. The infused pre-roll tests 38.1% THC and the vapes test 86.3% to 92.8% THC. Vapes are extracts, so their THC reads far higher than plain flower's. Limonene leads three of its four panels (bright citrus, lemon and orange peel, in the terpene guide's words). Our per-batch grade, set by each panel rather than by the name, calls three of the batches on our shelf hybrid or sativa-hybrid; the other is not graded.
| Product | Format | THC | Leading terpenes | Our grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Packarillos Purple Punch 1.2g Infused Blunt | Infused pre-roll | 38.1% | caryophyllene 0.20%, linalool 0.10%, bisabolol 0.09% | not graded |
| Provisions Purple Punch 1g Cartridge | Vape | 92.8% | limonene 1.15%, myrcene 0.64%, caryophyllene 0.40% | Hybrid |
| Stiiizy X Purple Punch 2g All In One | Vape | 87.3% | limonene 2.25%, ocimene 0.70%, myrcene 0.43% | Sativa-Hybrid |
| Stiiizy Purple Punch .95g All In One | Vape | 86.3% | limonene 3.01%, caryophyllene 0.35%, myrcene 0.26% | Sativa-Hybrid |

What the panels showed when we wrote this guide
One product was on the shelf, a Packarillos 1.2g infused blunt at 38.1% THC, and its panel listed caryophyllene 0.20%, then linalool 0.10%, bisabolol 0.09% and humulene 0.09% in a near tie, with 7 mg/g of terpenes in total. That total sat under the minimum our grading needs to place a batch on the spectrum, so the panel carried no grade rather than a guess. Those readings came from the ten terpenes our product pages list: the four listed for that blunt made up about 5 of its 7 mg/g, and a compound outside that set could reorder its panel. The terpene guide covers each of them.
The same brand's Rose OG 1.2g infused blunt, on the shelf at the same time, read almost the same panel: caryophyllene 0.19%, then linalool 0.10%, humulene 0.09% and bisabolol 0.08% in a near tie, with 6 mg/g in total, each of the four readings within 0.02 points of the Purple Punch blunt's. Two strain names from one brand reading that alike suggested that the panel said more about the Packarillos infused blunt than about Purple Punch itself.
What that means for you
Read a single panel as a reading of one batch rather than a portrait of the strain: that blunt's total sat under the grading's minimum, a Packarillos blunt under another strain name read almost the same, and the terpenes its panel left unnamed came to nearly as much as its caryophyllene. When the shelf holds several Purple Punch products, compare their panels before you choose; the product page always shows the current batch's panel.
Questions people ask about Purple Punch
Is Purple Punch indica or sativa?
We do not type Purple Punch by its name. Our per-batch grade, set by each panel rather than by the name, calls three of the batches on our shelf hybrid or sativa-hybrid; the other is not graded.
How strong is Purple Punch?
The infused pre-roll tests 38.1% THC and the vapes test 86.3% to 92.8% THC. Vapes are extracts, so their THC reads far higher than plain flower's. THC is a batch figure, not a property of the name, so the next batch can differ.
What does Purple Punch smell and taste like?
Limonene leads three of its four panels (bright citrus, lemon and orange peel, in the terpene guide's words). Terpenes are a large part of a strain's smell and flavor, which is why we read the panel rather than the name; sulfur compounds a terpene panel does not measure add the skunky note some strains carry.
What effects does Purple Punch have?
Effects vary from person to person and from batch to batch, so we do not promise any. What a panel tells you is the chemistry: which terpenes lead, and the grade it earns on the five-class spectrum, shown in this page's shelf table for each batch whose panel carries them.
Where does Purple Punch come from?
By the widely told account it is a cross of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. That is the circulated history, not a lab fact.
Where can I buy Purple Punch in Las Vegas?
At Planet 13's Las Vegas superstore, where today's shelf includes one infused pre-roll and three vapes of it with a lab panel. The shelf changes batch to batch, so search the live menu before you visit.
