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!

100% purp strains seem to find me as well. When I think of purp it's not just the color of the flower... that does has some to do with it but it's the actual terps of the flower. Those strains you mention have that "purp" smell and taste, anyone who smoked or grown it knows what I'm talking about.

Also don't agree with what compound chris said about it having to be purp to be considered exotic, hell if I really crank my mini split toward mid to end of flower I can make a lot of strains purp. I think more than anything what will and is determining its level as high end exotics is a strain's terps and potency. Bud can be pretty as can be with trichs glistening like diamonds but if it tastes garbage and has no potency its worthless to a connoisseur of fine buds.

No sir GRC x BBC aka Elusive. You said it terps and potency will win. I didn't keep this girl because of her color. I had a purple puta that went just as purp almost black but had no terps and the high was meh. Dude on ig dmed me saying he can't believe I killed it. I'm not keeping a terpless poster plant was my response. I think her 2 sisters that have some purp with way different terps. Elusive has that classica grape candy but with some piney funk on the taste full on grape skunk in the smell department. I gave a local guy some trim needless to say they keep dming me asking to buy cuts. Same response no.

O nice dude, lol....that is frosty as fuck reminded me of that fire slurricane I was running- that's another one that has a decent amount of phenos that purp and is good bud- slurricane. Honeslty what doesn't purp these days?? Just noticed this said strongest purple strain available. Still stand my picks.

I hit her with my puta male guaranteed fire purps will be keeping all those seeds and sending some to some growmies. Beleaf also said I could hit truffle. Just send him some seeds. Gonna try to send him a lot for a good hunt if he decides to hunt them.

Relentless has some very nice offerings. The Trop Cherry has a unique and funky terp profile.

I've been running his number 8 cut for a couple years now and I've found it be very hearty and bullet proof outside. Last spring I passed her on to a lot growers, both seasoned and new and she seems to thrive in a number of different grow enviorments. The type of genetics that are great for new growers (as opposed to something like sours or chems)

CSI and Relentless would be my rec

I don't know what kind of purple yall are smoking but there's a million fire purples out there. Back in the day the purples were weak. Not today's purples.

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.

Plants that produce high purple/magenta pigment are shown to have much higher levels of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidants produced by grapes and purple plants. So maybe there is some argument in favor of using purple varieties in edibles for the antioxidant Content, also when it comes to PCK, the green phenotypes really are the superior in potency/effect and flavor, so maybe the green PCK phenos that were expressed outshone the purps.
