Purple P. doesn't want to go purple. Think I might have got the green pheno? anyone ever grow this?
 
I don't know if this helps but I've recently run into something similar with another strain- Mendo Grapefruit Kush https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mendograpekush/ I've run the MGK the last three years and she almost always finishes "red" in color. This year she finished lime green and I spent most of the season looking for something that just wasn't going to happen and I almost hacked it as a result. Glad I didn't because she turned out better than her red counter-types.

I amn't familiar with Purple Paralysis but if you aren't getting the colors you want a nice dose of high phosphorus Indonesian bat guano toward the end of flower will surely bring you colorful results.

Within every gene pool there are going to be anomaly's. I've had a Purple Kush cut that just wasn't purple and that whole gene pool is stereotypically suppose to be purple in color.

Bottom line: Plants are going to finish the way they are going to finish regardless. No two growing mediums are alike and plants are going to respond differently to your water than to mine and it may be as simple as that.

To be 100 percent honest, I don't think I have ever seen any cannabis flowers that really looked like what I would call "purple," even "purple" strains from a dispensary. I've seen photos where the flowers kind of have hints of purplish hues, but I assume they could have been manipulated.

Now, I don't doubt that in 20 or 30 years after Big Tobacco and Big Agriculture and Big GMO have gotten their tentacles into the industry, you'll probably be able to buy seeds or starter plants that are "guaranteed" to finish purple, gold, red, whatever color you fancy. But the Big Businesses have billions of dollars to play around with.

Third post. If you don't call that purple, I don't know what else to say. :mrgreen:
