Oh sure. I'll get some dried bud pics tomorrow, gotta dig them out first. Until then, here's a cross I made with another's PUf3x f2s- it's (NL2/Purple Unicorn x 3 Chems/NYC Chem) x Original Haze:Got any purple unicorn pics?
You can't get the purple out of a Purple Unicorn cross. The strain turns everything it touches purple. Then that turns everything it touches purple.
I had some SSH/PU that were so rich in color, the buds were almost black.

I have this seed pack in fems from Cult classics. Haven’t got around to them. After seeing your photos I’m inclined to add them In a near future run. How’s the terps? How’s the high?
Most of the time they show a select pheno unless its in the genetics of that particular strain to be consistently purple be it leaves buds whatever if its purple it is purple you want purple weed over anything maybe look into pck plenty of purple phenos in there and plenty of breeders use it in there crosses for that reason i guess it depends how you look at it some would say seedbanks lie some would say they bend the truth a bit whatever you thinks down to you
9 out of ten times the purple pheno lacks punch vs the green ones its a generally accepted rule of thumb potent purple phenos are gold if thats your thing

It’s pretty dang good. Opening up the jars gives off the smell of opening a bag of Trix cereal. That dry fruity cereal smell is just satisfying. The high is on the downer side, yet motivational at the same time. Very relaxing. Puts me in a very chill mood… but doesn’t make me wanna stay in my chair. After a sesh I’m ready to go out swing sets up in the neighbors yard lol
Which cross do you have? I was thinking about joining a friendly grow off on IG. They are growing Deleted Scene. I don’t have the pack yet tho.

Absolutely, and it's why I've not gone back for more in close to a decade.
Edit: and that was for a $1.39 cheeseburger, I spent $130 for these seeds, kind of a little bit different..

That’s the same pack. I split it with a friend & popped 1 of the 3 beans I kept. She was a beauty. I have a cut in another tent vegging in a solo cup. Speaking of.. I need to check on that tent.

This was her around week 3 of flower. The top closest to the light decided to fade into her genes 1st. That was the coolest thing I’ve seen since I stared growing.

Not different at all. It’s advertising they picked the most beautiful buds grown by masters under optimal conditions, have gone through lots of phenos for that pic. You think cause you spent 130 bucks it will or should look like pic huh ……search phenos. Even if it wasn’t your first grow it could look different. 130$ lol if thats alot you may want out of this hobby sooner than later.

It absolutely is different. I haven't fucked with McDonald's burgers in close to ten years. I'll never get over the way that McChicken looked! That was absolutely terrible.
I don't look at autobody work done by a professional collision repair shop and think to myself "I can do that, I've got a $3 dollar store screwdriver and some plaster, I can do better or just as good as they can" obviously I know they're skilled labourers and I can't quite replicate what they're able to do. I'm not expecting to grow or even to be able to grow something that a skilled horticulturalist is able to.
But. If something is advertised looking a certain way, and the end product you get is something that looks like mulched, beaten up grass, there should be some discord. Your shopping experience shouldn't be akin to buying a $15 PlayStation 5 off of Alibaba.

I was considering this plant https://bcbuddepot.com/marijuana-seeds/bc-bud-depot/socal-master-kush-copy/
Will the purple hues in the plant happen though? Or do I have to do certain things like let the plant get cold? I think the other plant looks bett er but that's just me

Well it's in the genetics of the plant, from what I've gathered. But some commentors on this thread have alluded that the cold can help to bring out the colour. Again, I'm no expert, but I bought the seeds because not only the picture of the product depicted it as being 'purple,' but it's also in the item description.
That's my goal right now, to best replicate what the item in the picture looks like. It's kind of like a bar that was set, I need to reach that bar, it's my goal right now. I'll do whatever it takes to get there. If you can take pictures of a sexy purple plant that you grew, I should think that those are pictures worth keeping for a very, VERY long time.
Everybody looks at that little sugar cube or carrot at the end of the journey as being the end goal, which is fine. But I think a lot of people seldom ever appreciate the journey TO that little sugar cube or carrot. I'm trying to enjoy the walk right now, for whatever it's worth. But I don't wanna set out for some magical kingdom like Narnia, only to discover the Arkansas trailer park in the town's ghetto...
