Happy new calendar, man : )
!LUV
I think my goal this year is to grow 4 monster trees outside. We're having baby #2 soon, so I'm going to take a break with indoor growing to make more room here. But in the summer I'll be in the garden with some huge plants :)
As for purple plants, I have read that it basically means the plant is losing some chlorophyll usually due to colder temperatures. This leads to lower cannabinoid production. And it doesn't make weed taste like blueberries or sugar, as some people believe. So in most cases, purple has no effect other than to reduce the potency slightly. So if you're looking for milder weed, and choosing between a few options, go for the one with the most purple! Usually, anyway.
My weed is 85% THC (shatter) so I don't have to worry about purple :P
