Is This GDP? Can you tell before any Purple flowering shows?

Just wondering if this looks look like legit GPD. All the pictures I have seen looks like it is but I guess I will find out after I clone the S*** out of her!

Cant tell, from seed you might not even finish with purple at-all.

Fwiw, the color and flavor from gdp are two different things, a pure green gdp pheno can still taste like grapes so if its flavor your after then i wouldn't concern myself with color much.

I feel like it would be hard if not impossible to tell at that stage of life I've got 8-9 strains running and its hard to tell them apart

Ah I see, I don't mind if there is no purple. Just curious. I will find out soon enough!! Thanks for your replies.

There can be many many phenotypes with any given strain. Marijuana have a VERY diverse gene pool, given to it by the fact that, typically, a male and female plant are required for pollination, like animals. Most plants, like tomatoes and peppers, produce a what's known as a perfect flower. This means that both the male and female reproductive organs are contained in each flower, leading to 100% pollination rates with very very very very little genetic variations. Some plants, like cucumbers and water melons, have separate male and female flowers produced on the same plant. An ear of corn is a female flower, and the tassels at the top of the stalk are male flowers/pollen sacs. All of these physiological differences between plant species is why some are more genetically diverse than others.

So you may have a nice purple, fruity, picture perfect GDP and decide to force it to hermi and get you some GDP fem seeds. But thanks to the genetic diversity of marijuana not every one of those seeds will resemble to parent. That plant holds all the genetic code for all of it's ancestors, and those dominant and recessive genes may show in some of the offspring but not others. Because of this, most marijuana growers take to cloning. Cloning is the ONLY way to get a plant identical to its mother in every way shape and form (assuming the environmental conditions are identical for the clone).

That's why I hate it when I see so many people post their "experiments", when they expose seeds from the same "strain" to different environmental conditions (lighting, nutrients, ect..) and they think their results are some sort of scientific breakthrough even though there was no real control group..

Sorry for the rant.. No, there is ABSOLUTELY no way to tell if that's GDP until you've smoked some and can confirm it.

P.s. I'm not talking shit on any breeders, some seeds may exhibit a high percentage of the population resembling the pheno's of the given strain. I love growing from seed. I do so for personal and my close friends anyway, so idgaf if the plants I grow resemble a specific strain or not, as long as it's good weed.
