Purple Haze

[Pdawg23]

I am very confused about the strain purple haze. Does it even exist anymore , and if so what does it look like. I have encountered countless dealers using the sell tactic that if its purple its good and for the most part around where i live all purple bud is "purple haze"

qoute from Wiki..
"The first use of the name Purple Haze for a specific strain of marijuana was in the 1970's. It is thought to have originated when a Seattle grower found a strange looking purple phenotyped female in a crop of the Californian Original Haze strain. The odd plant was kept and clones were cultivated and spread creating a clone-only strain. Technically any purple strain crossed with a haze strain could be called a purple haze, however many people will apply the title to any marijuana with purple foliage, either out of desire to increase sales and appear or just simple misinformation. The purple coloring is caused by chlorophyll breakdown triggered by environmental changes. The green chlorophyll no longer masks the purple-blue anthocyanin pigments, which some strains produce. It is claimed that the Original Haze strain has been preserved and actually genetically strengthened by cultivation, and is available from the Flying Dutchmen seed company."

Wiki is all fine and dandy, but to get "purple haze" you just need a haze strain, and cold fucking nights. (when the lights are off)

and "poof" magic, you have "purple" haze...seriously man? wiki? you are going to post wiki here? you can make just about any strain purple with cold enough night temp's....

EDIT: not to sound arrogant or anything, but I just want this man to know the truth...genetics and environment = color of weed, last time i checked...
you can make purple haze with any "haze" strain.

Searched 'purple haze' and ended up here.
My new plant was discovered to have purple veins inside the buds while only having minor purple in the leaves.
Otherwise it is similar to Northern Lights in leaf shape and growth.
Major different high, but does not appear to be what is known as "Purple Haze".

Thanks for the thread.
