Help me find a strain with dark foliage!

[stinkyattic]

Hey all,

This is a strange request.

I live in New England and I've been having a problem using sumac bushes for cover outdoors because they turn color at the slightest hint of cold in the air, leaving my green cannabis plants hanging out like sore thumbs.

I want something that is going to be easier to hide.

I'm looking for a strain or landrace variety that has dark bronze or purple foliage in all phenos.

It's the ONLY thing I care about, other than it has to finish before the middle of October.

Thanks guys and gals.

Just kinda looking around for ya, stinky. Seein' what i can see, ya know?

Purple#1 looks like it has possibilities for you.

Sheherazade seems kinda dark, but it's a little hard to be sure from the pic.

Lavender looks pretty good from the pic.

I'm thinking that Rock Bud would be perfect for you. A fast bloomer that finishes in about 8 weeks.

Black Cherry is very yellow and purple. It's a AirbG13 x C99 X Ort x C99 X Blkberry x CherryAk cross, if that means ought to you.

Orange Velvet Bx will turn a Vibrant Maroon when exposed to cooler night temps almost turning black just before harvest.

I'm not sure about Powerplant. It doesn't seem to have much in the way of green, but the pic could be misleading.

One called Sandstorm seems to have incredibly dark purple leaves, but it's got a lot of white too, so I'm not sure about it. Looks sweet as hell though, man.

Biddy Early is pretty purple.

Sweet Purple. A very strong, rather tall plant with hue¦s of purple and pink, that tastes like strawberries. And it's cheap, man. $26 for a pack of 10 at Gypsy's.

Amethyst Bud is a mix of Lavender Bud and Afghani Hawaiian so the dark purple color from the purple Kush part of it's genetics comes through.



That's about the best I can do for now. If I happen across anything that looks likely that I ain't got here I'll try to remember to report it to you with a link, eh? :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Or maybe you could just give them high nitrogen fertilizer, like bat guano, to make the leaves greener.

[stinkyattic]

That's not the point-
Overdosing on N can kill the plants anyway.
I'm looking for something that will blend in with colorful fall foliage.

Yer welcome, stinky. I ain't seen anything else that shows any promise yet, but then, I ain't been looking really. LMAO

Just finished giving my hydro a total clean out and fresh solution made with the brand new nutes I just got. Good nutes this time.:dance: Not the prepackaged crap that came with the system.:thumbsup:

I will keep an eye out though, and maybe you could let me know what you think of any of those yummy looking strains you might pick. I admit to being very curious about them. 'Specially the one that are high sativa.

Still working on this fun project, here's what I found:
Purple cough
Amethyst bud
Blueberry ? (I thought it was green!)
Homegrown Purple
Kilimanjaro
Lavender
Somango/soma#5
Twilight
Hawaiian Okole

Anyone who has grown one of these, or another with SOLID dark foliage, or one of Tommygirl's other recommendations, input is appreciated.

I think any of the purps should be alright for you ... Now, my own plant has solid dark foliage, buuuut it was bagseed.

A pure indica should have the DARK green colour your looking for, shouldnt stick out. I know what you mean though.
