About two to three weeks from the first hairs on the female. That's when I've gotten the best results so far. The times I've harvested seeds earlier than full bloom, I've gotten a lot of deformities like the plants above.

Here's a clone of the primary GDP S1 mother I'm using. At 18/6, it goes into bloom this much:
The clone I have of the secondary mother isn't doing that.

Notice the resemblance? 
It's the GDP S1 clone from that same reveg above, and it looks like it got pollinated. Here's both of the main colas on the first GDP S1 mothers (there's two in there):
Those turn dark purple at the end. I'm hoping that this GDP S1 x GDP f3 father does too:
I'm gonna let it go as long as I can, and if any of the main leaves are still alive on it I'll see.

It looks like some of the pollen sacs did turn purple for you! I do not think I have seen any color on any of other GDP males you have used.

There were a few purple lines on the last father's pollen sacs, but no purple in it or any of the female plants I pollinated with it (that's why I put the results of that to the side and decided to try backcrosses here). I hope the next father has even more purple.
Yeah that would be great. I think the purple has been a hard trait to lock into the line. i think that is why all of the newer GDP seeds that get released tend to turn out green. I think you should really look at Mass Medical Strains Star Pupil and Grape Pupil. The Grape Pupil seems like something that would be awesome to cross to one of your purple GDP females if you could find a nice purple to reverse.

I'll be popping grape pupil soon. I got a pack of a star pupil x unknown indica call indicator. Have you seen that one yeti?
If I have it was on their IG feed and do not remember it. He gave out a bunch of different freebies in the last year. His Star Pupil x Weapon X looked fantastic. Graytail has been growing out his Goji Pupil and seems to really like it. I think they would be worth a try.

I tried to find it everywhere, no luck. Hopefully it will show some color like star pupil. Thanks brother!
You're welcome bud! A lot of Pupil crosses show at least some color. Some of the "green" phenos even have colors inside the buds when you bust them open from what I have seen and read.

Here's four of the sister plants to the GDP S1 x GDP f3 father I'm using (sorry about the dark pics; my better camera needs a new battery):
The other two sister plants are runts.

The other two GDP S1 sister plants:
See?
Here's both of those GDP freebies from the SSC Platinum Collection:
They don't look bad. They don't look like they're gonna get purple either, though.....

Seems like most of the GDP out there now don't get purple. Hope you find one that will!

I hope I manage to breed out something that stays purple. I'm starting to wonder if it's even a possibility. Maybe purple is some recessive thing that always goes back to normal.
Here's my two Grand Daddy Purple fem freebie plants:
The one's pretty thick; I should try to get the other one up under the light further.

My GDP never got purple either.

Very nice and thick.

The GDP S1 x GDP f3 father I'm using for this backcross has a little tinge of purple on the border of the upper shade leaves, but it's yellowing up because it's in a small pot (one gallon). I hope that carries over to the next male I pick from the offspring (I already know both of the GDP S1 mothers have purple to them).

Thanks. The more I look at them both, the more I think they have potential for some color. The inner leaves are a dark color green that I've seen turn purple before. The shade leaves look a little iffy, though.

Are ya going to drop the air temp at night to induce purple color to come out?
