Authentic Genetics has Grandaddy Purple from Mel Frank, who got it straight from Ken Estes years ago.
Strongest purple strain available?

I think the new purp is Trump 1000 from Founding Fathers & CSI . Sure others who ran it or it's crosses would agree. I've got a Trump 1000 x TK that smells like purp & gas just in veg alone.

FastBuds LSD 25 auto looks to get absolutely purple & burgundy for every single person I've seen post pics of their grow.

Really, anyone can say anything without genetic fingerprints. Unfortunately, it's all a wash anyway with no rights to patent. I'm not supporting either claim, just know it's purple out the gate without temp manipulation.

I'm not really about chasing the color so much. More about terps and effect so purple or blue pheno's not so high on importance for me. Now that you mention it, I probably mixed up some comment made along the way. I shouldn't add to the rumor mill anyway but sux for the guy who did the work if it's true. Either way, I wish you guys luck in your search for the purps!

I thought the T-1000 was a strong hitter forsure although I've only tried it once from a buddys seed selection. Personally my favorite purple in the last while has been the Old Family Purple from CSI too though. It might have been even less potent but it just has that dank factor and the OG just mixes really well with the purple flavor profile. If you have the TK cross I imagine you will have some keepers

T-1000 & Old Family Purple are the same genetics just different pheno's. Always hear good things about them both. Founding Fathers Genetics uses the T-1000 & has a slew of nice reversals with that pheno.

Ken estes seems full of it dude, that guy just got a cut from Northern cali and started marketed as is own creation. The gdp was being sold in northern cali long before Ken estes claimed it was his. The dude changed is story multiple times of how he came about the gdp cut also..then the Ken estes released Ken's grand daddy purp reg seeds. How could one do this with a "clone only"...Makes no sense.
There's so many strains and different crosses that purp put these days- the list is endless.
I've seen cookies crosses purp out, tk crosses purp out, sunset sherb purp out, wedding cake purp out, gelato purp out, etc. Check out csi humboldt the have a bunch of urkel, t1000 and Obama that will purp out nice. Also purple punch purps out very nicely.

I don't get what's so great about purple. If you want some purple strains that grow purple on their own not from environmental changes like cold temps that turn the leaves purple then get some Pakistani Chitral Kush or Congo from ACE. The purple is in the genetics and they will grow purple regardless of temperatures. Purple weed is nothing special.
ACE Congo. The only thing purple was the buds.
Pakistani Chitral Kush.
Those might not be the most potent strains out there but purple is nothing secret or special.
Here's a creation of mine using PCK and Durban. Purple and potent. This was an F3. Since then I've bred the purple out of it on purpose. Although I still have hundreds of seeds of the F3's. Purple doesn't add anything to the weed except color. PCK has both a purple and green pheno with the purple being much more common and the green being less common but more potent and just better in every aspect.

I've a purple OTH running, really,really dark purple, and a nice smoke, but I'd give one of my lesser extremities for the high of the black sativa I had, and lost, years ago.

It's just a perception thing for the market. I recently listened to an interview with Chris of Compound genetics and he was saying how he thinks currently it has to have purple hues to be considered "exotic". He's also doing that big drop for Cookies right now with the Apples n Bananas which is unsurprisingly purple. But I guess people just think of green bud as conventional and purple as exotic.
I hear ya tho, to me its like showing up to a used car dealer and saying "Gimme whatever vehicle you got, just make sure its painted purple."
I think with the breeding too, because a ton of genetics can have purple they are all being bred that direction for marketability.

When I think purp I think of strains like GDP, Urkle, Lavender, Purple Indica, Purple Punch lol & now Old Family Purple/T1000. Color is irrelevant, it's the Linalool terps & medical effect that makes me consider something purp. I've got random plants that turned purple on me from start of flowering in 85 degree temps. I don't look for purple, they seem to find me lol!

I have not ever ran a ninja fruit but i had ran a friend's star pupil. She didnt stretch in flower liked to be topped. An purped out in any temp like you sais right out the gate. Was fast finisher like 9 weeks tops not to potent and shit for yield so i let her go.
