That's what I hope too, but I saw conflicting articles, there seems to be a gene that is triggered by temps as cat said, only the origins of that gene are a little murky with articles saying it's completely natural from Afghani strains I think and others saying it was engineered outside the US.... You never really know the truth...the fact that the purple strains are open pollinated obviously weigh in favor of a natural gene though.... I'm just too curious for my own good sometimes...
