What makes these buds purple? Are they really good? Has anyone ever had any kind of purple bud? I have seen buds people said were purple but they were nothing like the ones I have seen on this site and others.

RooRman said:I had always assumed purple buds were only a certain few varities, not that you could turn any bud into a purple one. Now I'm more confused. Being cold does not seem viable to me as the asian strains of these plants grew in high altitudes where it was naturally colder and still turned out green. I thought it was a genetic trait that would make it turn purple.
HappyOneHit said:You are right in assuming that only certain varieties produce purple buds, however, some strains are more hearty than others and thus not as suceptible to cold. If you were to move a strain use to the climate of jamaica to an indoor grow room in minnesota or the outdoor conditions of wisconsin in the summer you would get purple coloration.
Not to get too technical the purple coloration only comes out when the conditions are favorable for purple coloring, i.e. colder temperatures, and only in strains in which the temperature grown in is cooler than the normal temperature for that strain.
Does this clear anything up? I can go on if necessary, just trying to keep it as simple as possible.
