Purple

Cannabis strains come in a variety of colors. White, green, pink, blue – you name it, it’s there! Many people grow cannabis primarily to witness the display of colors put up by the plants. Amongst all the colors, though, cannabis enthusiasts love purple marijuana. Even breeders are crossing purple cannabis strains with other cultivars to produce stunning hybrids. The purple cannabis family is indeed unique. Thanks to their tendency of providing a spectacular visual treat to the grower, purple cannabis seeds are very much in demand. In fact, the demand has exceeded to such an extent that growers experiment with their plants in bizarre ways. From using food dyes to stressing the plants and forcing them to change colors, a lot is being done for the love of purple. It’s important to understand that stressing the plants or using dyes will not only harm the plant, but you also hurt yourself in the process. The plants may display purple buds but that won’t last a long time. Instead, it’s best to purchase purple cannabis seeds that display different shades of purple naturally. Cannabis plants from the purple family are usually hybrids. They either contain more indica or sativa depending on genetics. You’ll also see balanced varieties with an equal mix of sativa and indica characteristics. In addition, strains like blueberry are also considered purple sometimes. Some strains exhibit purple or blue colors due to a change in temperature. For instance, many cannabis strains turn a deep purple in colder climates. In other cases, discrepancies in the pH level may also turn green buds into purple ones because it’s all got to do with anthocyanins or pigments found in the plants. Most of the strains from the purple family have moderate levels from 15 to 17 percent, but the modern varieties have higher levels at 22 percent. Regardless of the colors, growing cannabis at home turns into a satisfying experience because you connect with the plants on a deeper level.
