Hunting for a new strain

I'm looking for a new strain , with color n bag appeal, & commercial yield.
I think I would like a purple to add to my collection .
One problem is , I can not lower my temps the last couple weeks to bring out the colors.

Currently I have a CBD Haze, 2 pheno's of Green Crack(kept 2 because one get rid of the wife's head aches, n one is amazing)
Currently I'm flowering 4 pheno is WhiteCookies, ( they are subpar of the GC, will continue to test, but I can see them being phased out fast) 7 - C99 seeds vegging , so far they I'm very happy with 4 of them.

I really like hunting for the perfect pheno of a strain that goes with my style of growing .

So please let me know your favorite colorful strain n the breeder and if it's available.
Thanks

Commercial yield and purple color do not usually go hand and hand. Lowering your temps should not be needed if the strain is genetically prone to turning purple. Some strains will express their recessive hues when exposed to cold temperatures but, the true purple strains do it Everytime. Good luck! Great topic.

Commercial yields or claims isn't as important as a true color strain.
I'm very happy with 400-600g pre square meter.
That's the claims with my CBD & GC and I do much better then that . The WC claims the same but I'll find out as I play with it more and try a couple crops of the same phenos .

Pew, is a very pretty strain , but I'm looking for full color.
7-9 week flowing time is important
If a strain takes longer the 70 days , it's gone
The less time the better . 55-60 is ideal.
As I play with phenos , I'll cull the ones that take longer .


I love the hunting for my food and smoke .

Dj shorts Flo or blueberry could purp up. Granddaddy purp. Most girl scout cookies strains go purp.

Greenpoint seeds has several purple strains that appear to be good yielders. For example I read a grow journal on the purple badlands strain where only one pheno was green from a pack.

Csi humboldt has several purple urkle crosses.

Tga subcool has several grape and purple crosses

What sites you frequent for beans

Thanks for the link, nothing there that interests me tho.

I'm not looking for anything that could purple up, I want purple purple purple .

I get my seeds locally at a hydro shop
But if your not interested in the stock it's a pain to preorder etc .

I will not use GreenHouseSeeds
Or Crop King n there's another one but I can't remember the name but remember the pack.

I stay away from anything cookies , any trainwreck, any blueberry .

Funny thing is, I've never had anything purple that I thought was anything special
They have all been ok at best for the high
But I love the looks ...

But I'm trying to collect the best stains I can
I've become very interested in breeding
And would like to start that in a year.
So looking for 4-6 of the best of the best


I got a Haze that grows colas the size of your arm & is done in 60 days , looks ok, smokes good, but needs more kick.

I got a GreenCrack that is about 50/55 days
Is very nice , but would like more yield

I got another GC that yields a lot more but isn't as strong n less pretty , but it takes away my wife's head aches so it's a keeper

Veging 7 C99 hoping for a keeper

And always searching for the next strain

So what I think you need to do is tell us all the purple strains you have already tried. That would narrow it down. Your last post rules out blueberry lol. A ton of purple strains have there roots there.

I have never grew anything that was real purple. I've had plants with purple leaves , but green buds, I have a pheno of White cookies with purple sugar leaves at the top.
But it's a poor yield , nothing special.

Where I grew up and started out , I was able to get a good selection of clones .
That's when I tried a couple different blueberry strain, and never had much luck.
I mostly grew BC BB clones
Now I live on the other side of the country
So seeds it is , but I like hunting for special phenos now, it's my new addiction.

There are pics in the exotic's thread of a few cherry cream pies I grew.

They turned purple, magenta, and red.

Smelled and tasted jack like anything like cherries or fruity for that matter.

Was kinda like rank diesel, burned rubber and asshole.

Is that your own pic in your avatar Granola.?
I've had a WT doe come into a crop n start eating while I was doing maintenance, I look over and it was about 10 feet away
Scared the shit outa me .
I love to hunt , most of my time goes to Rams , and backpacking around the mountains

That a nice looking strain
