Possible purple strain?

[rev3la7ion]

Ok, here's the deal, I've been vegging two plants for about a month and a half now under 24 hours of light. I have 5 CFL's and 1 fluorescent soft spectrum grow light. I also have one fan. The temperature stays around 78 degrees F.

Both plants came from bagseed but they're both completely different. One plant is really bushy with thin, sativa-like, leaves and is 100% green. The other plant is kinda tall with fat, indica-like, leaves and is about 75% purple on the stems but all the leaves are a very healthy green. I know the plant is not cold and I'm pretty sure there isn't a phosphorous deficiency so does that mean the purple stemmed one is a purple indica phenotype? I'll get pictures of it in a little while. All I've got to take pictures right now is my phone and my laptop...

I cant wait to see the pictures. our indicia plant is also purple and i know shes healthy. we got its seed from a bag of cali orange its def indicia. i dont know why its purple but its beautiful. i should show you pics of her so we can compare.

Ok, so here's a picture of a stem I cut off due to my plant going through a lot of heat stress (last week I went away for 3 days and my room mate turned the AC off while we were out so my plant went through some heavy heat stress but it's fine now and healthier than ever)

This is the kind of purple I am talking about. All the stems that aren't new nodes turn a deep purple after the leaves mature.

Here's a pic of the plant a couple weeks ago.

You can notice how the main stem is only about 5% purple in that picture and the nodes are only starting to turn purple. That was about 2 weeks ago.

Now the plant nodes that have already developed are a very deep purple with fat indica leaves and the main stem is about 70% purple.

Sorry for the crappy quality. When my friend gets back from where ever he is I'll use his camera to take high quality pics.

*bump*

Anyone know if the information I have provided means it's more than likely a purple strain I got in some bagseed? I know someone can answer this.

Im growing strains of purple right now and my stems do the same thing, although your leaves look different.

 

[homegrownboy]

True "purple" phenotypes will start to show a bluish purplish colour under the leaves.

Maybe this is just a weird genetic mutation?

Maybe this is just a weird genetic mutation?

hmm i dont know.

im adding acouple pics of my purple plant. i got the seed from a bag of cali orange..im pretty sure it was. i don't remember the bud being purple..it was real fruity like orange crush. let me know what you think. it's def an indica.

this plant's name is "killer". shes showing female preflowers now. these pics were taken acouple weeks ago. she's in flowering now and is looking great!

 

[rev3la7ion]

I got another 2-4 weeks before my plant is ready to go into flowering. I can't wait because it already is starting to smell really tasty. haha

 

[cannabitch]

mmm tasty is always a great sign! i know weeks sound far away but it'll be so worth the wait.

 

[rev3la7ion]

Oh I know. I can't freakin' wait until I start to flower them.

Purple can also indicate a sign of cold tempature fluctuation.
