Branches Turning Lavender.Does Purple Erkle Do this?

I bought this as a clone at a medical co-op. Thet told me it was Purple Erkle. But I dont know.

I was outside admiring it yesterday and noticed that the stems were turning a purple/lavender color. And it iseems that it is starting to spread into the spines of some of the leaves giving them a purpleish hue (You can kinda see some of them in pic below) . Ive never grown any purple before .Is this generally how the plant turns purple? Can I expect it to spead into the buds and eventualy turn them purple or would they have already started turning the pistels purple. (They are more reddish now)

Below is pic of the purple branches. You can see them turn into green toward the bud.






Below is a pic of a bud picked off that tree and quick dried yesterday. It looks like the purple was beginning to creep up this stem. Can anyone tell me, does this look like purple erkle to you? Curious to know if I really have what Ive been told.

I've had purple erkle before and it looked very similar but i've never seen an actual plant. Whatever it is it looks delicious and I'm sure if the club told you it was purple erkle it most likely is. If i can remember the taste was really fruity with a smooth smoke. Hope this helps.

everytime i get what is said to be the "erkle" it looks just like that just more fluffyier
looks Nice
sm oke on NIGGa,

I got my 30X magnifier in today and checked out the trichromes on this baby. The stalks on the trichromes at the tips of the bud leaves are a dark purple. It looks like its starting at the tips and gradually will hopefully turn all the trichromes a purple color.
Pretty cool. Im taking my growing to a whole new level with the help of this site and everyone on here.Thanks

Heres some pics to show what I mean. This is a small example. They are all turning purple very quickly. Cool Man..

A regular shot of the bud


And a close up

wow that looks mouth watering

yeah here is my plants that I have outdoors...They also have a lot of purple in them is this a good thing?

alot of people in CA go crazy for "purp" many different strains contain purple and i believe its caused by stress, for example someone could not water there plant as often and the plant could stress out and create purple. But weather its better or worse is all based on opinion and thc potency. BTW NICE PLANTS!!!!!!!! i wish i could get some of ur buds!

oh snaps your in sac! im from the bay! i could get some? btw im a legal patent with meddican....

I agree. I wouldnt have even noticed the purple trichromes if I hadnt recently got a 30X magnifying loupe. I definitely reccomend getting one if you havent already. I was using a 15X before it was recccomended by someone in another thread somewhere that I get at least a 30X. It makes a world of difference.

I also havent seen anythng like that before, personally or in pictures.

Im really surprised this picture didnt peak more interest.

*bows to you*

the purple can be cause by cold weather also and its not a bad thing

Yeah, I underderstand that cold weather, shock, rain and other stuff can sometimes cause the plant to turn purple but this is not the case here. The weather has not been cold. There was a couple days of rain at the end of last week but I covered this tree and besides, this started before the rain the weather has been averaging 80 during the day and 55-60 degrees at night, and the plant has not gone into shock for any reason.

Besides in my experience anyway, its the leaves,(fan and bud leaves), that turn purple not the actual trichromes or branches.That is what is unusual to me.The pretty purple colors of the branch then followed by the pretty purple trichromes is just very fascinating to me. Ive never seen anything like it.

One of my other plants actually did start turning purple after the rains but as you can see its a totally different situation.

PLEASE tell me that you have a clone from this plant!!!! Do you? Do you?
