I stumbled across a Tony's Tortured today called Black Rose, now that looks like a strong candidate for an all inclusive deeo purple (near black) plant. Interesting back story on the lineage as well. I believe he crossed it with his recombinant in line glue also. I haven't ran any of his gear, but by all accounts he seems to be a breeder with a solid reputation and potent gear.

BlackBerry Kush auto is the most purple bud I’ve ever seen, I certainly wouldn’t reccomend growing it though, no potency and it’s an auto too. I just grabbed an 8th of it one time cos it looked cool

Why are people obsessed with purple weed? Other than color it brings nothing to the table. I've found purple weed to be lacking in every aspect compared with green weed. As an example, Pakistani Chitral Kush is an extremely colorful plant. It's likely used by many of the chuckers coming out with purple weed pretending they did some kind of breeding effort to get the purple. If you come across the rarer green pheno it's so much better than the colorful pheno.

There is nothing special about purple weed. It's extremely common in many strains. I've actually spent several years working the purple out of a cross I made using PCK.

BC God Bud followed closely behind by Purple Chem from Cali Connection. Mendo Purps and quite a few strains from Purple City Genetics

Terpenes. Plus visually the dark color makes its frost pop harder.

Because most of us aren't in it for potency alone, I would assume yourself included.

Purple weed is "bag appeal" and for a lot of people, that's a huge chunk of what's considered desirable weed to them. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I myself am a sucker for colorful herb, I'm just not misled by it being "better", but it does look better.

I'm definitely not growing strains just for potency and I don't care about bag appeal.

I will go to my grave proclaiming that purple weed is inferior to green. :mrgreen:

Ran Dark Devil ( dark purps ) - meh smoke / better for pressing.
IMO I find most purp strains as kind of mids … mellow fucking smoke.

Looking at the crimson buds like Pink Rozay but far as best purp for me ….. Blue Dream Purp ( BD X Mendo purp ) very heady smoke.

Purple is a flavor to me. I have a mendo breath that I enjoy messing with. High is mellow for sure, but a nice and relaxing, enjoyable mellow. Very conversational and good for musicians to tune up with. Nice vibe. I like crossing it with fruity stuff. It gives them something like if frosty pastel colors were a smell/flavor. Mutes the flavors with "purpleness." :confused:
I keep line working it too. I have some that turn purple, others are purple the whole damn time, some go very dark, and some stay green and barely fade out with any color. The last ones are the strongest pheno.

Damn...im running Bodhi Blue Sunshine and some Mendo Breath now. Just flipped. I was only going f2 the BLSS, but now I may dust a branch for a chance cross to check out later. Serendipity and all.
Auto correct keeps trying to make me write Menudo Breath. I'd rather have Pazole Breath.
