what strain would this be? this 1 I really have to have it.

[hydrocannabis]

this 1 I really have to have it more than any of the other strains I have asked about.

I have never seen anythig like it ever. and I have looked at all strains out there.

so if anyone knws the name of this strain plese let me know.

and since its a sativa I would scrog it out in my backyeard.
but maybe scrog indoors.


well thanks for the info.

[hydrocannabis]

holy shit is right. thats why I want the seeds of this strain.

I have been doing a lot of research to try and find this strains seed to buy.
but I can't seem to find any.

[stinkyattic]

I have never seen seeds for a strain that uniformly dark offered by any breeder but I HAVE heard the term 'European Black Cannabis' tossed around... and that plant looks like the pic I saw of it, same leaf structure.

For something at least predictably nice and purple, Soma Lavender is a good bet.

[xmk]

i dont know about everyone else but to me that plant looks deathly ill, its all wilted and skinny, isnt purple a sign of bad temps in some cannabis plants as well? i may be total off but im leaning towards it being a normal purple strain that got the wrong temps

[mattmao]

looks like black domina to me but could be any type of cross.

[stinkyattic]

mattmao have you ever seen a black domina plant?
no?
oh.
google it....

Yes.. purple leaves are caused by a dropping temperature during the flowering stage. That plant definitely looks like its had better days.

[freewheelinfrank]

"what is it, I gotta have it ?" - seems like you should want to know more about it, before 'wanting it' - if you judge plants for their purple colors, get yourself some lilacs - (looks like a Japanese Maple on acid, to me :D) - :wtf:

[hydrocannabis]

the reason I want it is because it is purple. and I could grow it out in my backyeard and no one would know it was a MJ plant.

I showed it to some of my pothead buddies with out telling them it was a MJ plant.

and they thought it was a regular purple tree not an MJ plant.

but when I blew the photo up then they could see the pot leafs.
but it was still kind of hard to tell it was MJ plant.

[freewheelinfrank]

ok, makes sense - I've been around a long time (old fart), and I've never seen a MJ plant anywhere near that color - when I used to occasionally haul a load of shrubs, it seems like there were purple versions there at the huge nursery (and, there is a nursery pictured in that background) - I suspect (just a guess) it is a variety of Japanese Maple, or something like that ... dunno, ya got me :jointsmile:

[GraziLovesMary]

Once again... the leaves of that plant are only purple because the temperature where it is located at has dropped significantly during the last couple weeks of the flowering stage. That plant started out as green as any other MJ plant, so Im sorry to burst your bubble, but there arent plants that start out purple like that.

If you would like I will post an explanation of why the leaves turn purple... maybe that would shed some light on all the confusion.

If you would like I will post an explanation of why the leaves turn purple...

Chlorophyll breaks down at extreme temps, exposing the other pigments produced by the plant.

As for that plant having once been green, meh, it's a possibility but plants that were intially green, even after being exposed to cold temps, often still show green in the lower leaves when temps drop. I have to go figure out what book it was that had that plant- I want to say it was Greg Green's breeding book actually, but I may be wrong.

Purple plants may be a little MORE stealth but I'm still not gonna be planting one in my vegetable patch for damn sure.

Lol somebody was asking a question about purple haze and purple plants months ago in a forum elsewhere and a friend of mine posted this little cartoon that explained it with little cartoon photos... I was hopin Id be able to find it but no luck. I spent hours trying to find it too lol.

And yeah I guess youre right... and to the right of that plant is one that is as green as can be. Hmm I dunno then! Now Im just as curious lol.

[invision]

they have purple strains out there that need no cold flowering temps, that plant looks very dead.

Word, I noticed that too. The leaves are saggy. But I imagine that if it was healthy, it would look real good ;). Very strange, though, since I've never seen a plant have that much purple (it being 100% purple) from cold temps alone.

Anyway, there's no way we can tell what strain it is... sorry.

[freewheelinfrank]

OK, I can't hold it in any longer - :D - my opinion: that purple plant in the photo is NOT cannabis - I don't remember the name of it, but I know I hauled some of it a few years ago, out of Monrovia Farms (America's largest nursery) out in the valley west of Portland, OR - it is some sort of ornamental shrub/tree, and turns a dark, almost black, at certain times (season, maturity??) - it's the one in my attached photo, I think, before darkening - I am going to send that purple pic to Monrovia Farms, and ask them what the hell it is - plus, in the photo, the plant has some sort of 'tag' on it, a glass greenhouse behind it, ornamental hedges and plants, obviously photographed in a nursery - :jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

omg frank i have seen those weeping ornamental maples... you cant see the SCALE of it very well but the leaves are fairly small and feathery

however that pic in the greg green book, the purple plants DO exist

too bad that pic is so blurry, becasue it DOES look like theres a bit of bud fluff on it\

[freewheelinfrank]

yeah, those 'buds' give me trouble, too - this damned thing just has me captivated - ( I tried e-mailing a photo to Monrovia, but their 'Contact Us' mail, doesn't allow attachments ) - I've never seen any purple plants, other than just the budsites, and a bit of leaf - it certainly is fascinating (and, I'm VERY medicated now, lol) - I'm like a cat, you can keep me amused for hours with a piece of yarn, and, now, THIS :D

[stinkyattic]

:D
yay, I love mysteries too!!!

[freewheelinfrank]

how's this one ??? :D ... I smell FRAUD, :wtf: ... oh well, I just had to play :jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

frank thats the same pic you posted already
i still think the original post shows an actual cannabis plant

[greenvoodoo]

looks dead to me

[hydrocannabis]

ok so here is the link of the web site I found it on.

Hortus Botanicus (http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9gnMinVtWhGF1sA2gqjzbkF/SIG=11ratvfqt/EXP=1181353813/**http%3A//www.involved.com/scut/hortus.htm)

[stinkyattic]

I looked and sure enough there are 2 pics in Greg Green's breeding book of purple plants, one of which is surrounded by green plants in the same greenhouse, so go figure. No strain name given though.

[the image reaper]

too much Rum & Coke used to make me see stuff like that :jumphappy:

[the image reaper]

couldn't tell I like these new smilies, could ya :jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

Yay!!!! The Image Reaper has rejoined the world of the living....
I am so glad to see you back!

[the image reaper]
