Purple plants are usually inferior in quality of effects.I see all these images of dank looking purple, brown and even multi-colored buds on seller sites but if I actually Google that strain it's all images of green herb mostly.
I have seen some wicked purple and even black buds on this site before too. I just want to grow one of these magical looking plants.
What's your experience with these colorful herbs? Any suggestions on specific strains to hunt for?
Try a few different strains this fall and when they're flowering in December, lower the temps at night. Something will go purple.Yeah, mostly it's about wanting to grow something with a little more eye appeal. I've got loads of dank herb stashed away so even if the quality was lesser. I'd be good on that front. I'm all about trying something new and I've yet to grow colorful buds is all.
Sounds like my kind of strainTry a few different strains this fall and when they're flowering in December, lower the temps at night. Something will go purple.
There's a breeder named Sannie who has a strain that is well known for purple and red buds, called Killing Fields. You can tell which ones will have red or purple buds when they're seedlings, because the colorful ones have a red or purple tint at the growing points. These plants will be colorful no matter what temperatures they're growing in.
I'm not a big fan of the strain. It's what I refer to as a "lost in space" sativa. It's the kind of weed where you might search for your lighter when it's in your hand. But it had a huge following.
Lost in space is how I am normally, so I didn't need weed that made it worse.Sounds like my kind of strain
Try pck if you want a pretty plant,beautiful colors,some red,some purpleYeah, mostly it's about wanting to grow something with a little more eye appeal.

Did you push it that way or was that natural coloring?View attachment 1270123
This Black Dog Kush was fire and very dark.
I understand. It's the drugs.and a few other strains I've grown over the years who's names I don't remember.
Natural. That is why they call it "Black Dog Kush". I grew five and they were all black like this.Did you push it that way or was that natural coloring?
There used to be talk of Manizales black or African black that produced so much resin it stifled itself,even as a kid I heard the stories, I never ran across it though but it did make a good tale.I understand. It's the drugs.
But seriously, I'm intrigued by all this. I'm going to be taking measurements of cannabinoids as I do this and try to understand for myself what happens. I don't have any black genetics, but one of the ones I will run is old school purple kush. I've made it go purple in the past with UVA, this time I'm going to do the straight water and lower temps too. Compare it to a clone that I don't do that to. If anyone wants to donate some black genetics to this test, LMK.
No kidding? Thats good to know as I have arthritis in my back and cannabis helps it. Maybe I should avoid purples.A note and interesting facts about the purple hued plants. Anthocyanins. A water soluble pigment found in some genetics. You see plants in your veggie garden where this applies. Bright red or purple hued peppers are an example.
I have been told that it really kicks in in a colder environment.
I have also been told by arthritis patients using medical cannabis that it will cause a heck of a flare up. They avoid all heavily purpled cannabis.
