hey peoples, im new here and from the uk. just wanted to say that yo, there is such a thing as purple haze!:smokin:

i've had perfect bulbous purple buds and squashed dirty-purple home-grown.
i am going back about 6-8 years though. both were of the same smoke and distinct taste.
the perfect batch looked like it was grown exceedingly well, snipped straight from the plant, dried, cured and then sold on as grade A buds. never seen a prettier bud. the buds were like shiny, deep-purple, balloon nuggets with green strips inbetween, which were probably the minor branches and hairs and stuff.
the stuff that i was informed was home-grown, was like a dirtier kind of purple, and the buds weren't 3-d. they were squashed and faded, but didnt bother me as it cost half the price. i assumed the first batch was chemically grown, and the second batch using soil.

it is definitely a highly recognisable smoke, and a beautiful change from smoking greens. growers/dealers/tokers round here all claim that it was a clone only variety, and has since died out. but there is a good chance that some stoned old guy is sitting here in the uk somewhere with a mother of the purple haze, oblivious to our plight. and he probably cant be arsed passing clones on or growing to sell....i dunno.

there are multitudes of seedbanks online at the moment, and many offer some form of purple strain. but not seen any site claim to have the original purple haze. ive also seen pinks and reds from afghanistan/russia regions. but whoever said that this is just the internet, is totally right. i cant say that ive definitely grew any of these new purple varieties. i have only seen pictures next to adverts, that could so easily be coloured in using photoshop.

thinking about it, though, the american purple haze could be something else, the same as the uk's american pitt bulls are different from the usa's american pitt bulls. strange but true.

anyways dudes i better get off before i talk myself into a coma....peace:thumbsup:
