It won't and there is a very good reason for it. Even though there are many, many green strains that blow pretty much all the purple strains out of the water, purple strains sold at dispensaries are generally decent every time. Too many cash croppers pick their strains too early. Many casual smokers can't tell the difference until they get home and realize they just got jacked.

Because purple strains generally gain a lot of their color in the final stages, the longer you wait to harvest, the more color they get, the more money you get for them. How often to you see purple buds being sold that were picked early? Basically, when you buy purples you're getting a truly ripened bud almost every time that will most likely be pretty good. If your a casual smoker who doesn't know what to look for, you can just pick a purple and it's likely to be at least some what good.

Purple is here to stay.

That's my theory at least. I could be full of shit...

the post you quoted is 2 years old. things here have changed since then. for a year purple was ALL you could get. things are better now. it was just a passing phase.
