No, my buds get dark purple but leaves stay green.
Question??? Do the leaves of a purple strain always turn purple?

HeyIf you make f2s with the beans you get, you open up the gene pool more and could probably find something close to what you want
Thanx 4 the info smoky, could you tell me the difference with f1-f2's and S1-S2's ? The reason i ask is because im about to acquire some purple plague from the pirates of the emerald bay. They have purple urkle f1's and CSI humboldt has the urkle S1's. Theres no doubt in my mind that the true bona-fide dankness is in CSI'S gear but i might just pull the trigger on both and cast a wider net. Hmu when yoj get a chance, I'd really like to know the difference. Thanx in advance. PEACEIf you make f2s with the beans you get, you open up the gene pool more and could probably find something close to what you want
Thanx for the info and even more for the honesty. I get the S1 theory, wich in my limited knowledge would mean its not stable and the fact that it would bd self pollinated might mean a hermaphrotic trait. But im not a breeder and im aware of different methods of getting plants to herm, be it stress or chemicals like giberilic acid or other methods. I guess the only way to find out is to grow them out. Lmao. .. ok, thanks again bro. Peace!@X.rm The f2 is the result of a taking an f1 male and pollinating an f1 female. F stands for filial generation. Most crosses are f1 these days, which is not always the best, but not bad either ...it's the first cross of 2 plants .
S1 is a selfed seed, meaning they took a female and got it to change sex and then pollinated another of the same plant ( another clone) . Now beyond that I'm not sure, I don't have much experience with s1s , however, there are some real experts here who will hopefully chime in, but I'm not really sure what you do to get an S2 .
Kinda looks like it flowered weird, too..This strain had a unique taste to it.
No a good taste just different tho idk I'm baked lol...weird tastes as in mold ???
It reminds me of the black dragon strain I had one time.This strain had a unique taste to it.
The reason you listed are pretty much what I'm hoping for in the Fire-berry kush I'm growing. She's getting put into the tent tonight, with a quick flush and refert... just to make sure I don't underfeed her and mess up the flowering groove.I grow mainly purples. Many strains will turn purple (leaves) but I’m always looking for the phenos that have purple flowers (it's genetic and has nothing to do with temps).
The main reasons I LOVE purple strains:
- SMOOTH SMOKE – calyxs are purple (loaded with anthocyanin) instead of green (loaded with chlorophyll). We all know that getting all that chlorophyll out (curing) is what makes for smoother smoke. Not much chlorophyll to get rid of in purple buds.
- THE LONG CURE – most green buds will start to lose strength/potency after about a year. I find purple strains do well way past that. I’ve smoked bud well over 2 years old and it just seems to get better, like a fine wine. Could be that all the anthocyanin (it’s an antioxidant) helps preserve it.
- MYRCENE – purple strains generally are high in myrcene (indica-type high - which is my favorite). Myrcene keeps you from absorbing too much TCH which makes for a nice, easy, relaxed stone. Sativas usually have low or no myrcene so you get blasted with all the THC which can be way too much for people already dealing with anxiety. Yes, there are some purple sativas, but vast majority of them are indica. Myrcene is also a strong pain killer and excellent muscle relaxer.
- LINOLOOL - purple strains tend to be higher in linolool which makes them great for many mental disorders (anxiety, PTSD, bi-polar, depression, etc.) and will boost the effect of anti-depressants (allowing for smaller dose of those anti-depressants). Linolool is also used for epilepsy and killing cancer. And it’s a serious pain killer.
- IT’S JUST SO DAMNED PRETTY!!!
wow one day i will have something like this,,very nice. I can't wait until the Purple Drink flower I am testing for Golden Lion Genetics,,they will be going to flower in next 2 weeks. Maybe one of them will look similar, anxious for a purple. Taking clones this week. Link to grow belowCherry Alien x Original Og KushView attachment 623689
