If you were to ask an AI to design "Alien Weed," it would probably draw Gazzurple.
Released by the titans at Humboldt Seed Company, Gazzurple was designed to shatter the misconception that purple weed is all looks and no power. This strain is a visual masterpiece—producing buds that are darker than the night sky and covered in trichomes that shine like stars.
But unlike the mild "Purple" strains of the past (sorry, GDP), Gazzurple is a high-octane rocket ship. With THC levels consistently testing over 30% and a terpene profile that smells like a gas station exploding inside a bakery, it is a strain for the modern connoisseur who wants bag appeal and brain-melting potency.
History and Lineage: The Three-Way Collision
Gazzurple is a complex poly-hybrid designed to maximize trichome production and color intensity.
The Anchor (Gazzurple Bx2): The backbone of the line. This phenotype was selected for its intense "Purple Gas" aroma and its deep violet coloration.
The Frost (Poddy Mouth): Another HSC heavyweight, famous for its bract structure and insane resin production. It ensures that Gazzurple isn't just purple—it’s sparkling.
The Sweetness (Macaroon): This parent adds the creamy, doughy finish that smoothes out the harsh diesel notes, creating the "pastry" aspect of the flavor.
The Result: A Sativa-dominant plant that grows with the vigor of a haze but produces the dense, colorful nuggets of a heavy Indica.
Terpene Profile: Diesel and Berries
The name "Gazzurple" is a portmanteau of "Gas" and "Purple," and that is exactly what it delivers.
Dominant Terpenes
Caryophyllene (The Gas): The dominant terpene, providing a sharp, spicy diesel kick that hits the nose instantly.
Limonene (The Sweetness): Adds a candy-like citrus layer that sweetens the fuel.
Myrcene (The Berry): Responsible for the "purple" smell—a mix of sweet grapes, blackberries, and fermented fruit.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is loud and complex. It smells of kerosene, grape cough syrup, and vanilla cream. It’s a mix of savory fuel and sweet dessert.
The Smoke: Rich and creamy. It tastes of diesel fumes, tart berries, and cookie dough. The exhale is surprisingly smooth given the high THC content.
Strain Effects: The Psychedelic Sativa
Gazzurple is classified as a Sativa, but don't expect a jittery, caffeine-like buzz. It offers a heavier, more "trippy" experience.
The Experience
The Blast: The high hits fast with a pressure change in the head. It is euphoric and slightly disorienting (in a good way).
The Psychedelia: Users often report a "high definition" visual shift. Colors seem brighter, and music sounds deeper. It is an excellent strain for art or concerts.
The Energy: It provides a steady stream of creative energy. You feel motivated to create, talk, or explore.
The Body: While your mind is in the clouds, your body remains relaxed. It doesn't cause the anxiety or racing heart that pure Hazes can.
Best For: Creative projects, concerts/festivals, social gatherings, and battling depression.
Growing Gazzurple: The Purple Tower
For growers, Gazzurple is a joy because it offers "Exotic" looks with "Commercial" performance.
Growth Structure
The Vigor: It grows like a Sativa—tall and fast. It stretches significantly in flower, so topping and trellising are mandatory to manage the canopy.
The Color: This is the selling point. The temperature doesn't even need to drop that much for the buds to turn deep purple, magenta, and almost black.
The Yield: Moderate to High. It produces long, spear-shaped colas.
The Resistance: Like most Humboldt genetics, it is bred for the outdoors. It is highly resistant to mold because the bud structure allows for airflow, despite looking dense.
The Harvest: It finishes relatively fast for a Sativa dominant, usually in 50 to 60 days (Late September to early October).
Grower’s Tip: Gazzurple is a trichome machine. It is an excellent candidate for fresh frozen extraction. If you are washing hash, the purple hue of the plant can sometimes bleed into the water, creating a visually stunning wash process (though the hash itself will be golden/white).
Final Verdict: The Alien Invader
Gazzurple is what happens when modern breeding pushes the limits of aesthetics and potency. It is one of the most beautiful plants you can grow, with a bag appeal that will make your friends gasp. But beyond the looks, it delivers a complex, high-energy stone that is perfect for the adventurous smoker. If you want weed that looks like it came from Mars and smells like a gas station, Gazzurple is the strain for you.
You should choose Gazzurple if:
You want maximum bag appeal (Deep purple/frosty).
You love Gas and Berry flavors.
You want a potent, psychedelic Sativa high.
You are growing outdoors and need mold resistance.
