Straining hunting for purple.

so pot is now legal and i can grow 4 plants. that being said. i wanna start strain hunting for a solid, consistent purple strain.

I would like to know what others have tried, what is most likely to give purple in somewhat warm temps, i know about the cold temps and dropping chlorophyll. Id just like to know if anyone has found a breeder that gives good results.. of course im gonna use pendant square method of gene hunting. that being said ill have to do it sets of 3 plus one to equal the 9 starters.. hoping that a single plant has purple out of 9.

Critical purple kush from seedsman was a nice dark purple, very frosty and great smoke.

Popped 4 seeds, 3 all showed purple, the 4th was a different Pheno and finished greener.

I grew that one too. its nothing compared to Purple Unicorn crosses. more green than purple, but pretty frosty.

bay 11 has some straight purple/black pheno's.

purple wookie was a nice solid lavender color with a great ceder/berry nose

but these double purple (purp unicorn x mendo purps) has been black/purple the entire grow, and the coolest the temps have been is 77, so you know its in the genetics. check them out in the bodhi thread, I think its in the 2nd to last page now i just posted a pic.

check out humboldt csi's purlpe plague line.
lot of mendo and urkle crosses, some nice purple if you scope his IG

Purple means nothing though apart from being a pretty colour

Dinafem Purple Afghan Kush

Pakistani Chitral Kush
There are two pheno's, a purple and a green. The purple is the most common from my experience. Usually four out of five seeds produce the colorful pheno. But as has already been stated the purple does nothing except color. In fact I prefer the green pheno over the purple.

I have a pack of Frisian Dew seeds but haven't grown any yet. I've grown the Frisian Duck which is a cross of Frisian Dew and Ducksfoot. I wasn't impressed. It did turn purple but the end product was not that great. I've grown lots of purple/colorful strains. I've found that all the color adds is prettiness and the end product isn't always that great. In fact When growing the PCK I hope for the green pheno because in my experience it's more potent and tastes better. Which is why I used the green pheno in a project I'm working on.

except it means bag appeal to a lot of people, which can mean more money in return.

Well yes.

Purple is less efficient than green so would purp strains be slightly lower yeilders?

Nirvana OG Kush photoperiod is giving me a purple look and it turns out it's the trichomes that have the purple color. I'm not expecting anything special out of the purple color though, it's just pretty. I planted 2 OGK seeds from the same pack and both have the purple

Couple month ago I had a couple oz of some Purple Heart.....damn I would love to find some seeds of that

'Exotic Colours' from Exotic Seeds is a purple monster every pheno, every time I've grown her.

Nuken grown outdoors I don't think it happens often, but i got lucky with this pheno.





also had indoor that was crazy purple, wish i knew the strain.. it was a bagseed, same with this nuken.

my double purple is easily the biggest yielder in my tent right now.

Humholdts purple trainwreck, with a mere 10 degree difference between day n night temps. If I could make it colder at night it'd really pop but for not having to use ac or anything, is coming out fairly nice.

Rick's Pupil, Star Pupil from Mass Medical Strains is incredibly purple. Also worth smoking, where most purps are pretty meh.
Rick's Pupil that I did recently, below!

Looking at a few pics i feel some went purple from bad environment or cold and they would otherwise be green in a perfect grow.

As mentioned above, most purple is “Come c come sa “
