What Is the Violet Flame Strain?

The Violet Flame strain is an indica-dominant hybrid with roughly 70% indica genetics, a cross between Purple Urkle and White Flame 43 strains. The strain’s name certainly holds, as it’s one of the more colorful in appearance and flavor!

Violet Flame Strain Appearance

The elongated and dense buds of the Violet Flame strain always captivate the eye, but the purple coloration really attracts attention.

This is one of the most purple buds you’ll ever see, so much so that there’s barely any green on it. Of course, there is a bit of olive green here and there, although the purple undertones, the bright red pistils, and the purple-tinted crystal trichomes steal the show.

Violet Flame Strain Genetics

Violet Flame is a cross between Purple Urkle and White Flame 43 (sometimes called White Fire 43).

Purple Urkle is a potent indica that dates back to the late 1980s. It is well-known for its sedating and relaxing effects, combined with its flavors of sweet berries, grapes, and just a hint of fuel. With THC levels reaching around 22%, Purple Urkle is a long-standing fan-favorite indica.

White Flame 43 or White Fire 43 is another indica-dominant hybrid directly descended from White Fire OG. With THC levels averaging 25% and flavors of pine, lemon, diesel, and earth, it’s not hard to see why people enjoy it so much.

These two strains combine to provide Violet Flame with its intense flavor profile and indica-dominant effects.

Violet Flame Strain THC/CBD Content

One of the big mysteries of the Violet Flame strain is how much THC it contains. We know that the parent strains contain roughly 22 – 25% THC on average, so it’s safe to assume that Violet Flame should contain anywhere between 20 and 25% THC.

When you smoke it, you soon realize it’s potent and hard-hitting. Therefore, beginners should only take a puff or two and see how it feels before taking any more.

Violet Flame Strain Terpenes

Violet Flame has several terpenes that contribute to its enjoyable flavor profile. These are caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene, and limonene. These combine to produce a flowery, citrusy, and fuel-like flavor profile.

That’s not all, though, because these terpenes also have potential benefits. Terpenes are known to interact with cannabinoids and with the endocannabinoid system to produce what is known as the entourage effect. They might not get you high, but there are some benefits.

For instance, caryophyllene, the most dominant terpene in Violet Flame, is documented for its pain-killing and anti-anxiety effects. Humulene is another terpene with possible physical benefits, as it’s an anti-inflammatory and painkiller.

Myrcene is yet another painkiller and anti-inflammatory, plus it is also thought to be sedating in nature, which may explain why Violet Flame is great for alleviating symptoms related to insomnia. Finally, there’s limonene, a terpene known for being able to relieve symptoms associated with depression and stress.

Violet Flame Strain Effects

As mentioned above, in terms of its overall benefits, Violet Flame certainly has the potential to relieve symptoms associated with stress, depression, and anxiety while also relieving some inflammation and pain.

These are certainly benefits that I felt when I smoked it, particularly in terms of the physical side. All that pain I feel daily from years of lifting heavy weights at the gym disappears every time I get a hold of Violet Flame. Remember, THC is thought to be a potent painkiller as well.

Other than that, this strain produces a very potent body high. Besides melting away physical pains, it also just makes me feel heavy and tingly like I want to sit on my couch and not get up for the rest of the day.

It’s a highly relaxing strain that puts me in bodily and mental bliss. There is a bit of mental euphoria, although it’s not to the point where I feel like my head is flying up in the clouds, but rather just pleasantly happy.

It also makes me feel quite hungry and ready to try foods I never thought I would like. Overall, it’s a pretty classic indica strain that will relax your mind and body and help you get a good night’s sleep.
