Some of the best Purps Ive ever seen

MaryLane · #28 (**permalink**) Sep-16-2007, 05:04

If nothing else they're definitely pretty!

Start with purple genetics.
Add a purple nutrient additive.
Drop your temps.
Watch the nOObs drool.

Purple ain't nuttin' but a color. Some of the worst bud I've ever grown was purple... pretty as fuck... tasted like your average brick.

It's all about what your goals are.

You pretty much summed it all up lol

I want to grow good bud but at the same time purple bud is automatcly assumed good bud. I want good bud but even though I know I could grow regular weed that wll be a better smoke I need to appeze to the average smoked and the average smoker wants purple bud...

I think some purples are overrated....most bud will get you high, I think people pay mostly for smell taste looks...with a good high being absolutely necessary. What im saying is good purple may be weaker than some really good green but its just some of the connoisseur aspects that appeal....and anything purple people seem to love foolishly so sometimes.

Here's something I have now.....yumm

Grand Daddy Purp.

I got some "Purple Bud" seeds from Seedsman. It's an f1 skunk hybrid with 18.3% Thc. Ideal for an indoor grow.

I'm with ya

... my pro-grower friend has some gorgeous 'Grandaddy Purple' trees in his garden ... he just shakes his head when he thinks about the price it will pull, and it is VERY average-smoking pot ... personally, I judge my smoke by the 'color' I see AFTER smoking it

I came across

Mendo Purps

Purps x Afgahni
https://www.*****online.com/seed_pac...gory=T.H.Seeds

Bluemoon x BOGBubble
https://www.*****online.com/seed_pac...egory=Plan%20B

Lavender
https://www.*****online.com/seed_pac...&category=Soma

All have afgahni herritage and are short and stout but right now the mendo purps looks like the most purple colored bud but hopefully I can find some pictures of cured bud to compare ... lavender also looked like a good indoor bud becuase I remeber reading an article saying Purple Erkles herritage was believed to have came from Lavender.

One of these natrually purpling strains combined with enviormental factors needed to produce the purple coloring should give me some nice solid violet buds.

Would love to get to know somebody up in norcal, people here in socal can be ridiculous!

i had a strawberry cough that turned a reddish colar if you let the temps drop

dragonz · #38 (**permalink**) Feb-26-2008, 16:10

According to Ed Rosenthal to turn bud purple you need to drop the temperature to fifty degrees for two hours for one week.of course you need a plant that has a genetic composition to turn puple.Like grape ape or grand daddy purple.

Dreadscale · #39 (**permalink**) Feb-28-2008, 16:34

My purple is nothing to compare to the others but I ended having a purple tinge to my NL.
My plants are definitely N deficient.

My goal is to get some buds looking like the blackberry nug posted above ... clearly its possible

that strain was a one off phenotype that was clone only. i only wish i could get some of that shit im currently trying to get a purple urkle clone for a breeder to cross an release in their strain list at some point
temperature is the best way to get em purple as most plants have purple in them its just the chlorophyll takes over the purple colour.
the colder temps around 15 c will also increase resin to, i do this a lot and get some real frosty buds im now experimenting with lowering temps furthur with the strawberry cough strain which has purple traits so well see wot happens

**stinkyattic** · #41 (**permalink**) May-15-2008, 15:09

Foliar application of SnowStorm once a week in flower.
Temps dropping to 60-65 at night (yeah the plants are pissed, you ever hear the term 'pissed purple? heh heh) I don't recommend this until the last couple weeks, IF THAT, of flower.
Purple genetics on the Toxic Lemon and Yeag's MTF (LH corner, purplest)

My buddy grows some Grand Daddy Purps

He told me that he does not drop temps or anything, he just grows it and late into growing, it turns purple.

Indoor btw.

budhaboy · #43 (**permalink**) Jun-20-2008, 13:32

ive heard that you can put em into the freezer for a few hours after youve cured them... not sure about the details or if that was the right order...anybody know something about that?

**stinkyattic** · #44 (**permalink**) Jun-20-2008, 14:43

That doesn't really make sense to me. You want to encourage the LIVING plant to produce its maximum purple pigment, and then at the end of flower, to encourage it to use up all its green pigment (chlorophyll) which often masks pure, clear purple coloring in healthy plants.
'Round these parts, the outdoor folks will sometimes let their crops take a frost. Personally, I'd be hesitant to do that, because of the potential for physical damage, but it will certainly help to bring out pruple coloring in genetically predisposed plants.

allrollsin21 · #45 (**permalink**) Jun-30-2008, 10:55

There is of course a difference between purple leaves and purple bud. Lots of growers will leave some extra leaf on the bud if it had turned purple. This can give the herb a not so surprisingly leafy taste to it.
The purple calyxes are the goal if one wants purple bud. I find the GDP tops turn slightly purple on the tips of the calyxes, but it is mostly the leaves that turn purple. This can be seen in the picture posted above by revanche.

Heres his new batch: Mr. Nice Purple

Enjoy.
