But were those seeds advertised/listed as producing purple plants? It's fine if they weren't and they happened anyway (who doesn't enjoy nice surprises?)

However. if I bought something because it had 'purple' in the item description, and I get something that looks like river weeds with no purple, then it becomes a problem.

Back to the McDonald's analogy. If you bought a 'cheese' burger for $1.39, and it came without cheese, are you just gonna settle for that? Or are you gonna go back in and fight for some cheese you paid for?

I paid for that purple, I WANT that purple!! I am going to get that fucking purple and someone's gonna give it to me

In the item description? The word purple? Thats in a 1000 descriptions. Or did it say these beans are guaranteed to grow purple plants that look exactly like the pic?

The picture shows purple leaves, and the 'tags' on the page from the seller have the word purple. It doesn't specifically say it'll grow purple plants that look EXACTLY like the pic in question. However, not every single strain this depot sells have the word 'purple' in the description. But this strain does have it.

If a vehicle is sold with ONSTAR capabilities, and every other vehicle you saw came with ONSTAR, but the one you bought didn't have ONSTAR, I'd bet you'd be driving it back in to the lot ready to give the salesman an earful.

Here, take a look for yourself. Yes, I've paid for these seeds, I got four starving seedlings fighting for food in 4.00 round pots right now. https://bcbuddepot.com/marijuana-seeds/bc-bud-depot/bc-kush-copy/

Doesn't look like a really purple strain, but it's like that pic of that Bordello. It just has purple tones. The buds aren't really purple, but maybe just a tinge. But the leaves will show more purples. And colder temps will make it more pronounced like I was saying.

I want to get some Grand Daddy Purple someday, but the real seeds are expensive. I looked a couple years ago and it was like $25 a seed or something crazy, if they even had them in stock. That's a potent purple strain.

Like these.

It say purple under tags? You can put that word in any bank search bar and get a plethora of images of plants that show no purple in pic or alot of purple. It also say creamy taste if your taste buds or plant taste unlike cream to you did they lie? Just saying man don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t you picked one that COULD maybe even likely but seems like your ready to trash a bank for nothing if it isn’t or not as much as the pic.

Oh my, that doesn't even look natural LOL.

I'm completely fine with purple tones haha. That's a little bit.. extreme.

BUT HEY. To each their own.

Now, if you had bought those seeds, and not one plant delivered on it's purple promise, that's lying right?

Ya. But I'm sure if you bought the real Purple Kush seeds you'd have purple buds. Some might be more purple, but I'm guessing they'd all be purple.

But that strain you got isn't gonna be super purple. It will just have purple tones. But you might not notice much either, so don't be dissapointed if it's not very purple. Cold temps will bring it out more. Don't believe the bullshit some of these guys talk.

'Cream' is a little bit nuanced. I have a bowl of 18% cream, a Werther's original as well as a Boston Cream donut. All of those 'creams' aren't gonna taste the same, but can I really make an argument that they're not 'creamy' enough, in their own right?

Purple is purple, you might argue against a certain shade or a 'tone,' but purple is purple. It's easily distinguishable. You can't (or at least you shouldn't) be able to sell a cheeseburger without any cheese and say that it was made around the presence of cheese, where other burgers were assembled using this cheese. It's false advertising. I paid for it, I should get it.

As long as I see some purple I'm happier than a sow in mud!

I hope you do as that seems of utmost importance to you. Chances are you will. Id worry more about getting them to the finish than if they’re gonna be purple but good luck with your first

"Purple leaves" is a very weak criteria for picking what strain to grow.

As you get more knowledgeable about growing and what you like, you start caring more about what genetics used in the cross rather than what the pictures looked like.
