Purple Crash Strain

Sundae Driver

Sundae Driver is the mother of Purple Crash. Sundae Driver was originally developed by Cannarado Genetics, a Colorado breeder that has created an array of top-tier strains such as Grape Pie and Orange Daiquiri. Cannarado bred Sundae Driver by pollinating the famed Fruity Pebbles OG with their proven Grape Pie male. Sundae Driver became an instant hit and many popular dispensaries, including the Jungle Boys of Los Angeles, began offering the strain.

Sundae Driver has received widespread acclaim and has become a favorite among many growers and users. Because seeds of this cultivar are no longer offered by Cannarado, they are now highly coveted by growers and breeders. For example, one pack of Sundae Driver seeds was sold for $2,500 at auction.

Sundae Driver Lineage

Sundae Driver is a cross of Fruity Pebbles OG and Grape Pie. Fruity Pebbles OG is believed to be a polyhybrid of Green Ribbon, Granddaddy Purple, Tahoe OG, and Alien Kush. Alien Genetics no longer produces Fruity Pebbles OG; however, the strain has become a favorite among many users, and is in high demand by breeders. Seeds of this variety have been known to sell for thousands of dollars at auction.

Grape Pie is Cannarado’s esteemed male. This cultivar is a cross of Cherry Pie and Grape Stomper, two powerful strains that are loaded with flavor and fragrance. Cannarado has used Grape Pie to breed many hybrids that are potent and aromatic.

Purple Punch

Purple Punch is a hard-hitting strain that was developed by a group of Hawaiian breeders known as Supernova Gardens. To create this cultivar, the breeders chose a male phenotype of Granddaddy Purple and crossed it with the timeless Larry OG. The breeders named this hybrid Purple Punch, possibly to highlight its remarkable purple coloration and knockout effects.

Purple Punch Lineage

Purple Punch is believed to be a hybrid of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. Some growers have said that Larry OG may be an original cut of OG Kush; however, it bears some differences from the original phenotype. Notably, Larry OG tends to produce a more abundant yield and sturdier stalks than most OG cuts. Given its more robust structure, some believe that Larry OG could be an S1 or a hybrid of OG Kush and an unknown strain.

Granddaddy Purple, Purple Punch’s father, is an Indica-dominant hybrid of Purple Urkle and Big Bud. Some growers believe that Purple Urkle is a phenotype of Mendocino Purps. Big Bud, in turn, is believed to be a cross of Afghani, Haze, and Northern Lights.
