thinking of getting some deep purple seeds but i'm reading that it's a low yielder, somwhere between 13 g's-2 oz. could someone tell me about how much i can expect because that is too wide of a range lol
thanks
thanks

haha i think that depends on light, nutrients, etc...
aim for 1g/watt of light, on high yielding herbs. but if you would rather have a lil purple then a lot a green thats all you dude. honestly, it could be orange with blue pokadots when you pack it, its still gonna end up as ash.

purple is genetics. And it definitely does come across in taste. I agree i wouldn't sacrifice yield or potency, but then again I guess I do because I grow a few grandaddy purples every round because it's my wife's favorite, and I generally like the smooth grapey tasting buds too.
If I was the OP I might opt for a strain like Querkle.

Of course a color isnt going to change the taste of something but the terpenes in most typically purple strains liek gpd, erkle, purple kush, etc have a distinctive flavor that can be associated with most "purp" strains. grape musky fruity pebbles smell and taste.

I grew super lemon haze (with 6 other strains too) last year and it smelled exactly like grape bubblegum. Due to a pesky helicopter doing fucking donuts over my grow I had to dig them up and bring them inside to finish. I had one strain (mini-Thunderfuck) that a bunch of them turned purple but most stayed green. These were autos started in March and put outside so they did get hit with some cold temps at night. I was all excited but there was no difference in the tastes.

i just asked about how much i could expect not What makes it purple, it can be both genetics and/or cold temps during flowering between 45-50 degrees for the record
yield has everything to do with the grower and your level of expertise, the strain itself has little to do with yield

I had and still do have SLH and colder temps will almost turn it red... BUT SOME PLANTS WILL NEVER TURN COLORS NO MATTER THE TEMP....so bro, I think YOU are the one that's incorrect guy. It's genetics FIRST, the rest is an afterthought.

Original Poster didn't even state whether he's indoors or outdoors or what light, what medium, how much veg time he is going to devote to it, LST or ScrOG or any factors that play into a person's yield. So knowing nothing about any of these factors would you wish to speculate?
I haven't grown DP, but I do grow Querkle and I'd say it yields 10% more than my GrandDaddy Purple.

Im sorry but its not BOTH...its genetic, TRUE purple strains do not need colder night temps...strains that are generally green and have the GENETIC makeup to turn colors (purple, red, black, etc) will under proper environmental conditions. TRUE purple strains will have a purple taste to them. I grow many strains and my temps are 75 day and 70-73 at night...I get purple buds no problem, my plush berrys do wonderful things. My SLH stays green (unless I regulate the temp). My Sour Bubble you can freeze to death it wont turn any colors.

You seriously expect to get a definitive answer on "how much" and you have not even said anything about your lighting, medium, nutes, controls, and experience? You're really getting off on the wrong foot in this forum. I don't think you'll get but 4 grams; hows that?

Correct I'm saying either it turns due to GENETICS or because of temps it turns purple because of GENETICS. paradoxical yes.
Im just discussing cannabis guys...no arguments nothing intended like such so please no one take me wrong way.

I've grown Deep Purple before, I think Sub's description of it is pretty much bang on. Needs a long veg for decent yield. Under 1k hps, DWC, 4 plants with 6 weeks veg I got just over a pound. Second time round its was 14 oz. Didnt get a purple mom from 10 reg seeds but the smoke is real nice.
For comparison, I fired up some Jilly Bean in the same rig. With only 2 weeks veg from clone and pulled 25oz.

I agree with Redi Jedi, if you want a larger yield, simply give it a slightly longer veg time. My Querkle didn't stretch much at all, so ended up smaller than I wanted and DP is a further BX of the Urkle, so get the plant big before you flip.
