Normal for a purple strain?

This is Purple Wreck. Is it normal for the leaves to be this purple? I have 6 plants and this is the only one that looks like this. Is it possible that it is a different strain? Also, can anyone tell the sex from the pics attached? Thanks!

I recently grew out a Purple Wreck, and while it's great smoke, mine didn't turn purple like that at all. I think mine was more of a Trainwreck-like pheno, while yours is more Purple Urkel-like.
Yours looks male... Those are the beginnings of crab claws.
I could be wrong (and I hope for your sake that I am), but I'm 98% positive it's a boy.
Get some pollen off that bad boy!

Its just a different pheno. Thats what happens when you mate different plants, you can get different genetics. Like having a kid. Most plants have several different variations from what I understand.

That's beautiful! If one of your major goals is purple, that would be the phenotype you keep to make your mother. When you trim, leave the leaves a bit long and hang upside-down to maximize the visual purpleness of your stash.
