No such thing as a touchy subject, just touchy people.
In my capacity as 'The Minister of Genetic Information' I am a regular recipient of either gifts of seeds or clones to the Ministry, or
donations [rescues] to the orphanage. This particular plant is Blue Odyssey [BD X Odyssey], one of the results of impulse buying by a collective member, who knows that I'm partial to Blue Dream. These clones were from Coffeeshop Blue Sky in Oaktown. This clone was put into my mothership as I always snip a few clones and spike them in the floratorium to do a smoke check in order to see who stays and who goes. My mothers are under 16/8 and this clone flipped under that regimen. So I put her into the flower room and this is what she looked like four weeks into 12/12.
Angelina purpurea was my eyeball pick from ~200+ seeds of the mixed bag I keep for fun. Her cross with the Jamaican is being test spiked, and it's sticky as all hell.
We are growing a plant [seeds from a
donation] with pistils that are purple basally and cream on top, kinda like a bad spiky punk doo.
I have always been partial to the Russian and Mexican blue strains, I started breeding with Afghan purple hashplant strains, and had access to central kali purples as a Ute.
I don't necessarily have a predilection for the color, but it seems to have one for me. I grow what I think will be effective meds for me and mine. I then hybridize or backcross or whatever, to arrive at plants that are suitable for the environment that they will be grown in. For example, I live right on the ocean and my two grow facilities are both within 3 miles of the water. This is a subtropical environment, alpine hashplants need not apply. In this environment I breed alpine hashplants from the hindu kush with tropicals with the desired bud structure. I live at the same latitude as the HK so the day length thing isn't too messed up by the tropical sativas, and the hybrid is much more resistant than an alpine plant that has no need for mite or mold resistance. Pick the most mite and mold resistant females, breed as necessary to get what else you need, and you end up with purple plants.
So, yes, I do believe that there is some sort of loose correlation between purples and potency, there may be weak ones out there but they don't run in my circles.
As far as psychoactivety goes, I'm psycho and hyperactive, so I'm probably not the best one to ask on that, the aesthetics are nice but not necessary, I like reds and golds just as much.
The Blue Odyssey must like the 400 W retrofit
