my dad has pics of him back in the day and he used to grow the original purple haze it looks nothing like those pics its lighter green on the leaves and does indeed have a purple sheen to it i actually have a fan leaf from one of his hazes pressed between 2 peices of glass glued together as mentioned in the smoker kits forum the leaves are way more narrow than the leaves shown in that link with less prominent veins and a lighter underside the serrations on the leaf are also less prominant but ive unfortunatly never smoked the real dealthe buds from what the pics he has show are really quite amazing with purple hairs its a light purple tho very long and whispy i wish i could turn back time and get some id smoke you guys up
