Kens GrandDaddy Purp seeds!

IMG_1660.jpg

This is one of my females from a pack of the GDP seeds i got from attitude, i ended up getting 2 packs of 10 and 15 germinated with only 3 males! i kept one male and I'm currently keeping him to pollinate one of the best females out of this pack.
with that said so far I'm loving the plants there getting nice and fat for the greenhouse :)

Does it matter, a tried and true purpler does not need cool temps to purple.
thats bs, you dont know enough about genetics to make that call. phenotypes are based on environment plain and simple, some plants genetically are prone to have certain color changes more than others but the conditions for true purpleing will always be the cold. if its 90 degrees in that motha dont expect nothin but green and yella!

Well in fact it DOES matter it will definitely turn purple in the cooler climates , BUT I don't understand why you would ask such a simple question and answer yourself in your own post.

my grow room is a dinosaur tropical climate in all aspects including UV. i can tell you that if your night temps dont get below 75 degrees it is VERY, let me repeat VERY unlikely you will get any purpleing. and secondly cooling the soil(no the air) is the most important aspect to the whole purple thing. i dont care if your air is 90 if the soil is 50 your gonna get some purple.

its a phenotype. not a genotype. the genotype is the fact that is able to do this or not under the given conditions.

but some have a different tolerance to temp and show different phenotypes if the rep is saying that 80% are showing purple more than likely youll get some purple, but if you want PURP keep the plants chilly at night, run the AC keep the res cool

she's got about 7 nice heads on her. Ben topped a few times, I much prefer a bush to a tree. This girls got some nice thick ass stems man. One sturdy, stocky little bitch :) loving it so far
Hell ya! Good to know... Greenhouse? That should be very interesting

If I grow GDP outdoors in a tropical climate will it still turn purple?
I would need more information than that... I think it really depends on your temps at night...

i understand some coloured strains have phenos that dont change colour, tell that last sentence to this person you ignorant SOB. https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/199500/blog15647-next.html if i buy a purple strain its not because im looking for a kickass high, they're other strains out there in seed form that eclipse purple clone only strains. if i buy a purple strain, whether grown indoor, outdoor, the desert even the fucking amazon, its genes is what makes it turn purple.

tho phenos arise that dont change colour, temperature SHOULD not have to be a major contributor. do some fucking reading!

i wouldnt count on gettin much of a yield in the desert moreless purple.

its GENES are what allows it to turn purple the TEMPS are what trigger the GENES. this is very basic the difference between genotypes and phenotypes.

purpleing of the buds is both a genotype and phenotype, but the phenotype part of it is not genetic it is the rate of purpleing since purpleing amount can be influenced by the environment, but the fact that it has the purple genetics will never change even if it shows no purple. get it?

what was the link for? it gets chilly outside at night in a lot of places in fact there are few places where its stays above 70 at night consistently during the flowering period of cannabis.

Hey Jam, those are pictures from a northern California outdoor grow. At higher elevations, where he planted, toward the end of the grow season, it gets chilly at night. Even in the summer, where they are in that photo, dips way below 65 at night, thus letting the "purple diesel" really show her true "colors" so to speak.

Ya I didn't get the pic, that NorCal, or Emerald Triangle... prime grow location, purple buds? Easy and no problem!!!

those are ns plants.wen u gonna flower?yu know theyre gonna triple in size during flowering.
Raider, actually, unless I am mistaken with Kens cut, there isn't too much of a stretch at all. With the seeds, it seemed to be not even double hardly. There can and will be some variation, but most should have the "shorter" indica style growth traits.

Oh, shit. My last one showed today, a male. That's 4 out of 5. I hope the next 5 are a little better than that, at 10 bucks a pop. Guess I'll have some seeds-
