Effects
Purple Goat is a versatile strain that caters to both beginners and seasoned users alike. One can pace consumption of its 14% to 19% THC and adjust it accordingly throughout the session.
However, it is better to start with a low dosage as it has a quick-acting high that begins within minutes after the first few puffs. Otherwise, it can turn a pleasant experience into an overwhelming high instead.
Its cerebral onset brings out a positive behavioral change. It leaves users feeling happy as low spirits are uplifted and interests are rekindled. Often, the upbeat mood results in users becoming more and more confident.
In fact, it is not uncommon to see some users feel comfortable sharing experiences with strangers at a party or discussing cheerful memories with close or like-minded friends.
Purple Goat Strain Effects
The space in one’s mind is gradually filled with free-flowing thoughts. As the head high persists, it develops into groundbreaking ideas or profound philosophies about life.
There is a surge of creativity too, as the mental clarity provides a fresher perspective on an ongoing problem or issue. Overall, Purple Goat is a great wake and bake strain.
It can uplift the mood, as well as clear the mind, without inducing a heavy-hitting body buzz. For this reason, too, it is best used in the morning in place of coffee or the early afternoon for a quick boost.
Fragrance
Purple Goat boasts a subtle fruity overtone reminiscent of crushed berries with orange pulp squeezed on top. Broken apart, it releases an herbal overtone of grass that later develops a hint of spiciness once combusted.

Flavors
Drawn in, Purple Goat swarms the mouth with an unmatched herbal spiciness. Hints of grass tantalize the palate while as the smoke turns sweet as its fruity undertones begin to manifest. On the exhale, it leaves an aftertaste of berry and orange.
Adverse reactions
Dryness in the mouth, as well as red eyes, are two common reactions to smoking marijuana, regardless if it were Purple Goat or not. It is due to cannabinoids interfering with the body’s natural ability to produce and retain moisture.
Although mild, the effects can last for hours and be irritating at times. Downing a few glasses of water, however, will help manage its symptoms.
Although rare, it is also possible to green out while using Purple Goat. It is a condition characterized by a keen awareness that can be dizzying and, at times, triggering to anxiety-prone users.
If left unattended, it can lead to a subtle feeling of paranoia as senses heighten. For this reason, it is vital that users pace consumption of the bud by starting with small doses.
Medical
Presumably, Purple Goat is a recreational strain. After all, that has been the perception of cannabis whether rightly or wrongly.
Still, its cannabinoids deliver significant therapeutic benefits that aid patients who are suffering from various afflictions.

Growing

It is quite hardy and easy to grow compared to other herbs like it. For this reason, it is an excellent option for beginners who are looking to grow a Sativa-leaning strain for the first time.
Purple Goat Strain Growing
Outdoors, it prefers a Mediterranean climate where it is warm and sunny for long periods of time. However, due to its sturdiness, it can also withstand the colder weather of the northern hemisphere.
Growers may have to invest in a temporary enclosing though, especially during the late fall or early winters, to protect it from the frost which can kill the whole batch overnight.
The Screen of Green works best when growing Purple Goat indoors. It requires placing a screen on top of the batch and gradually weaving the branches on to the net. In this way, the plant creates more budding sites that result in higher yields. It is especially important to do this during the vegetative phase while the branches are still malleable.
The plant will also need to be topped early as it can grow quite tall and cramp up a small growing space. With that said, growers may also pair it with different mediums. Soil helps enhance a bud’s terpene profile.
Meanwhile, a soilless medium like hydroponics will help the plant’s roots absorb nutrients directly and hasten bud production.
Flowering Time
Indoors
Purple Goat has an indoor flowering period of 7 to 9 weeks, shorter compared to other Sativa-leaning strains. Once ready for harvest, it rewards growers with 12 to 16 ounces of buds per square meter.
Outdoors
As alluded to earlier, Purple Goat is a quick-flowering strain that blooms quite early. Growers can expect to see buds by the last week of September to the middle of October.
