Purple Trichomes

[BWC BayArea]

I've viewed many trichomes but last night was the first time I saw purple trichomes. They looked like a light amethyst color. It's a hybrid strain with 2 purple parents that I bred. The buds on one plant in particular aren't completely purple but have purple tones on some leaf margins. In my 30X-60X battery operated microscope, I noticed purple trichs. At first i thought it was the reflection of purple leaf edges but I saw a group of them on a deep green colored leaf. My only rationale is this is a new microscope with a yellow/off white light. I normally use my microscope with a blue light. Any purple heads with some grows under ur belt ever see anything like this before?

I have seen purple trichomes as well.
They were on Blackberry S1 from Orgn Kid.
It is no big deal, except that it's uncommon.

I have lots of pictures from one I grew with purple trichomes, but I cannot figure out how to upload a picture from my computer to here.

There's your purple trichomes. If you save the pictures and zoom in you can see them much better.

I wonder what magic secrets they hold.

I noticed purple in the stem of some trichomes last season, looked quite pretty.

Critical purple. Anyone know if the purple trichomes replace the amber ones or am I gonna get amber ones too?

Hi there I'm newbe,
Just adding my purple trichomes to the collection. At first I thought the plant had mold, with my degrading eyesight the buds have a grey tinge, so I looked closer.

Anyone know what colour they might turn when they should start to go amber?

I know this is an old post I just wanted to add a couple more images for the record.

These are the ones I have on my Bubba Kush this year.
