For some inexplicable reason Cali people feel a need to lay claim to the origination of every strain that is considered to be high quality when that just isn't the case. I am not saying that someone in Cali never made the same cross or a similar cross. A number of very high quality strains have come from Cali over the years, including some the 'Dutch Master's have wrongly been credited with creating. I am only saying that the original Purple Kush did not come from Cali.

There is almost no way to tell where most of these strains originated. I smoked Purple Kush for the first time in the early 90's. It damn near ripped the top of my skull off! It's one of my favorite strains and if I ever get my hands on a cut...........:weed:

California can't really prove it originated there, and B.C. can't prove it either. The Big Book of Buds says it comes from Cali so I'm gonna go with that until someone produces some irrefuteable evidence to the contrary.;-)

It is not as if "The Big Book of Buds" is irrefutable proof of anything but believe whatever makes you feel good if that is what you need too do.

Myself, I would like to believe in the tooth fairy, the missile shield and strippers with a heart of gold but unfortunately for me I am bound to reality so my beliefs are more limited than yours.

I didn't say they were irrefutable proof. They are a pretty credible source though. :leaf:

By the way, you have never met me so you have no idea what my "beliefs" are, and I'm not gonna take the bait. ;-)

Ed Rosenthal is no dunce but he is not beyond making errors is all I am saying. As for "beliefs," that was not baiting you. You professed a popular belief that is shared by some, Ed Rosenthal for one, but one that is at the same time an incorrect popular belief. That means you have the ability to hold broader beliefs that are dubious in nature.

Congratulazioni too you for being more open minded than reality allows me too be.

..............and just so ya know, me having an open mind has nothing to do with it. Most people have no clue where a lot of these legendary strains originated. Due to the elicit nature of cannabis its history is not well documented, especially recent history. I have always heard and read that PK was originally bred in Cali. It is in at least one book that I know of, by a reputable cannabis author. I don't hold Ed's word as gospel, but you offer nothing in the way of proof but expect to be believed over somebody who almost any stoner or grower will instantly recognize anywhere in the world. I would be willing to bet if it was a popularly heald belief that it came from B.C. that Ed would catch a lot of flack for that oversight. I openly admit that I have no insight on where this strain originated. I will keep an open mind, reality notwithstanding. When you present some actual evidence of this claim I will gladly revisit my "belief". Until then, I'll go with the internationally recognized cannabis author. :-P

Honestly, what difference does it make where it came from anyways?:?

again i have not actual proof, but do agree with brick top. It is a BC original strain, from the mid 80's. Vancovuer island was where the strain first apeared.

The elicit nature of cannabis breeding, which leads to myths and legends, is precisely what gives the people of California, who always like, want and need to believe that everything good has come from California, to be able to lay claim to any strain that is one of the best regardless of any and all information to the contrary.


Purple Kush is actually BC Purps

BC Purps Aka: Purple Kush

A serious resin factory with an earlier finishing time both indoors and outdoors, also mold resistance for outdoor crops. Produces bushy plants heavy with resin, very tasty. Purple Kush originated in the great northwest and the growers here in BC have taken it under their wing and perfected this very high quality strain.

15-20% THC

Someone renamed the original strain and then laid credit to having created it.

You can make any marijuana PURPLE, just lower the temps.

If temperatures drop to or below 50 degrees F. it will inhibit the uptake of phosphorus causing a purple discoloration, but that will normally or at least mainly occur in the leaves and to a far less degree, and sometimes not at all, in the buds themselves depending on the strain and what genetics that might be buried deep within it that might have some slight purple tendencies that normally do not show themselves but might then through extreme conditions be, to some degree, brought out.

purple kush's beginnings are definitely rooted in controversy:-P but brick top is usually pretty right on about these things

personally i dont try buying pk genetics by seed because you just cant be sure anymore.
