The quality of Purple Bud..

[30roll]

This run is coming to an end.
One Plant is exceptionally Purple compared to the others. All Seeds are from the same hermed Plant from last year.
How will this affect the Cure??
Since the Sugar Leaves are Purple, should I expect better taste and a faster cure from the lack of Chlorophyll ??
Your thoughts??

There is still clorophyll, the purple is from anthocyanins. Your flavor is going to come from the terpenes that you preserve with your cure.

Most purple weed (in my area) is gross and tastes like wax and flowers. So if it's better than that you're winning.

Purple is completely indifferent when it comes to flavor and smell. Other than the look shouldn't be much difference at all in the finished product. Some people are purple crazy they will but anything purple but for me I like the lime green flowers best. The best herb I ever smoked was either lime green sativa vibe or a dark forrest green OG vibe.

All comments above are correct . @Ponky I agree I never liked the purple strains I purchased except this one time it was fantastic.

I smoked a Bubba with some purple flecks in it. Which was pretty good. Purple kush is strong. Even though I find it gross. Same with OG kush. Tastes like a crayon. But very strong. Others taste something else.

Many of my plants turn purple .It is in the genetics and sometimes treatment .
You should be getting strong indications of what it will smell/taste like .
I dry/cure like normal .
Right now a bright/lime green budding plant is catching my fancy the most ??

Color really doesn't change cure time or flavor over regular(green) leaves. Depending on the genetics you might expect it certain flavors but that's not really dependant on leaf/bud color. Maybe I am wrong though!

You can make purple strains go more purple by letting them go longer. Also temperature, outdoor in cold climates has a tendency to go purple.

Yeah I see pictures of purple weed and it looks good. I just never seem to get any. My theory it's regional distribution is just limited.

[LivingBlackSoil]

Maybe I am tripping. The flower in the photo appears to be 2-4 weeks away

Nah the OP definitely chopped to earlier at least 2 weeks yet would have been more potent last longer and weigh more - patience it’s a hard thing ! Lol

Depends on the strain... Here is some "cheeze whiz" from the dispo. As you can see there is a good bit of purple. It is not a fruity purple in the least. Loaded with chlorophil harshness. Damn near unsmokeable.

Forbidden Fruit on the other hand is the new bar to compare other purples with. It is the definition of what purple weed should really taste like. If you think you dont like purple weed go hunt down some forbidden fruit just to be sure.

great grow - FYI __ if you want to increase your "purple" consider Purpinator in the last few weeks !!

Any suggestions where to get forbidden fruit from?

8 weeks. That pic isn't the greatest.
Most of the pistils are red. There's ambers on the Sugar Leaves already. I want this one to be light.
