MI purps: the search for the best purple mi has ever seen

I want to welcome everyone in here! names KB and im going to take you thru the trails and errors of a breeders first shot at a real potent purp strain for mi.

michigan has a very high demand for purple strain only to be let down by very watered down weak genetics, I'm on a mission to create a purple strain to wow michigan medical patients.

sooo on to the breakdown..

were running 50/50 happy frog/sunshine mix#4 in 5 gal buckets
2 x 600w super hps
1 x 1000w super blue mh/hps
forced air cooled lighting
full line of advanced nutes "hybrid organic" using chem and organic nutes
reg water ph'd 6.2-6.5

veg is same except for lighting where flourescent banks are used

blackwater pheno search:

I have my first selection of males and females from CC's blackwater...I have chosen an indica dom male and my females are still in flowering and only on their 5th day..I have a matching female for the male (same pheno) which I'm hoping is a dark purple pheno from the research on the strain I've found the dark purple pheno is very indica dom which I have 2 females matching the descrpition but being F1 seeds its anyones guess until the buds show..my plan here is to lock down this dark purple trait. The true blackwater pheno is sativa in nature and turns purple as the buds mature, the pheno im after is purple right from the start and every bud head to toe is dark purple. This pheno also starts off purple so we'll be able to pick her out around days 20-30..the only problem I'm facing is space .. itll take a little while to go thru some plants if I dont find a suitible plant on the first try

I chose this plant b/c OG is my favorite strain and also a very good medicinal strain as well, and mendo purps is a great everyday smoke so a marrige between the two couldnt be more perfect. I plan to lock the purp down to where atleast 75-80% of the offspring are dark purple and have all of the OG traits...once I have this locked down and a stable IBL, the search continues for a sutable mother from ograskal's fire line. my goal here is to produce one of the most potent purple plants for the michigan med community since MI is huge on purple and most purple strians are lacking in the potency area..

*** pictures will be posted soon***

Good luck, It seems to me that the purple stuff is never that great. I'm in michigan also and it amazing how concerned people are with colors and names. It actually sucks to have to explain to people that the best looking is not always the best. As for purple if you read up on it alot of strains that have a purple pheno the purple one is inferior smoke. Never smoked a pure purps or urkle but they are clone only and two of the only truly kick ass purple strains out there. I assume you are medical, maybe try some indica dominant plants and lower the temps while maturing to give it that look. I hope you come up with what your looking for but if I were your patient I would want you to breed for quality of smoke (taste/high) and not worry about colors (or yeild, height, and such). Just my 2 cents

my favorite purple ive workd with is a purple indica from the humboldt hills, it has a great yield for a purple plant, sum stoney smoke, she will also turn purple in any weather and last year i greenhoused sum and they were a beautiful purple color in july, some purple turn purple naturally and sum require drops in temperature, this indica is a natural lavender purple

just get any high thc breed and stabilize it with backcrossings of a 100% landrace indica like from paki or from the himalayan region, and let it get colder during the later end of flowering... ;)

most plants respond to the stress of cold weather by turning purple, but there are a few strains out there that are naturally purple and will turn purple in any weather, those are the ones that can show u sum amazing color
