What is a true purple strain?

[KGB30]

Which strain is true Purple?

 

[gcarlin_818]

Grand Daddy is my all time fav comes from oakland or up that way..

 

[IllusionalFate]

I was wondering the same thing, I can't find a strain that will turn purple during flower based on genetics rather than cold night temps. And the ones that do seem to not be stable strains, so you never know if the plants will even display the purple phenotype.

 

[GMCORP]

Yeah, i want one too!!! Let me know

 

[KGB30]

Is Purple Start true Purple or is Purple power? is it the cold that makes it purple?

Try the Purps/ mendo purple it was high times 2007 strain of the year, and placed third in the sativa cup, even though it is a 60/40 hybrid

 

[KGB30]

its nothing but a genetic triat- theres no way to be 100 percent sure anyway to really say every seed from that plant will be purp, as conditions change and each pheno can be varied.

what do you want ....bag appeal?

 

[massproducer]

Yup, with every purple strain there will always be green pheno's when growing from seed, and as Trillions said if your enviroment is not in the ideal conditions then even the purple pheno's may never turn purple

I have never ordered from seedman so I couldn't really say, one thing i will say is...Do not grow a plant strictly because it is purple or you will be dissapointed. I love The purps, GDP and Grape ape because of there grapey, fruity pebbles taste, the fact that they happen to be purple is great but I am not growing them just because they are purple.

I am growing now Purps from BC seed company they are in flower, and none show a hint of purple. Tho one has purple red stalks, and i mean dark. I am also growing Sugar Grandaddy Purple, one of which is in flower, and it has shown no purple color. But.......i had two plants that were a Northernlights+Amethyst that had the most purple buds i have ever seen. I entered them both in the bpom, one this month and one last month.

So i agree with Trillions, can never tell what will happen. Of course let your plants have air that is cold and they will turn purple.

Thanks for your advice. I guess the air temperature helps to change the color. I appreciate you opion thanks.

How do additives like Humboldt's purple max work? Or do they even work?

 

[massproducer]

I find that most purple strains will not turn purple until around the last few weeks of flowering, when they are using all of their nutrient stores, mainly nitrogen and phosphurous. Because of the intense green of chlorophyll, the purple and blue hues of Anthocyanin tend to stay hidden until the chlorophyll levels start to degrade in late flowering. This is not set in stone as the plant can display the colour at any time, but it has to fight with chlorophyll inorder to show in the leaves and flowers

 

[tcbud]

Cool, then there is hope for my purple named plants....that is good to know.
thanks

well folks, i'm told "grapeape" is a pure purple indica. ive also read it shows color quicker/easier than other purples(grandaddy was their example). i shall(and youall too!) should know in a matter of about 4-5 weeks if any of this is true as i am growing this strain now.(once again, i didnt get a chance to run a dna test on it so i am going by what im told by reputable "clone guy".)
