color can make a big difference.
if something is purple, ive noticed a lot of people dont care about the taste or high
whats better is listening to people say its more potent
i kind of dislike the fact that its harder to tell via visual inspection if a bowl pack of purple weed is close to being done

I myself just think color change is erotic. Its like when you see a chick or your gf wearing a pink or blue wig on halloween, it just looks hot 
But in my opinion and from all the dumbass people that I have encountered here where I live, people that smoke pot but are totally clueless about the subject, and almost always think that just because its not green its more potent or more dank. I mean all of us know its just a genetic trait and nothing more, but they dont. Thats why they will pay more for nugz that arnt green. Ive heard so many lame ideas and theorys in my time, and im only in my mid 20's. For example
Ive heard:
1. If you plant a seed and the sprout comes up red, you grow it for a few weeks and then smoke it and its like an acid trip???
2. I was talking to some SUR 13 gangsters who were in their late 20's who said pot thats blue means it was grown with too much light and its of lesser quality??
3. Ive heard purple pot was just dyed in food coloring and you shouldnt smoke it??
4. And just recently some kid told me that there was some BOLD neon pink mango tasting bud that was going around and he knew the breeder and the breeder graphted pot to a mango tree to get neon pink, mango tasting pot??
I mean, I know im not the dankest plant in the garden, but some of these ideas and theories that ive heard are just plain re-goddamndiculous.

had a guy ask me today if i had any of "that purple haze it's the best next to that secret goverment g13 shit dude" He took some regular purple stuff and even after i told him it wasnt "purple haze" he kept calling it that....

We`ve done all of the above strains except BD & SSH. True they are all very popular, but the only strain that the clubs (bay area) call us for is GDP. Hands down, end of story. I don`t care how many P`s you have. If it`s tight, frosty, purple GDP, the clubs want your #. Honestly, I hope the demand for GDP calms down...
Out here in socal color doesnt mean shit. Kush pays.
Thats what I've noticed. All top-shelf meds are more expensive, sell quicker, have "OG" somewhere in the name, and are GREEN.

Yea, the bay and socal are two different worlds in more ways than one. We used to visit our friends at the club in Bakersfield. They didn`t give a rats ass about purple. I hope all is well in their fight against the feds...

I hate to say this but this thread sux, i mean anyone who knows about weed can give to shits about what color the bud is. Just because bud is purple doesn't mean its better or more potent. Only stupid newds who dont know shit will buy purple buds and go to there friends and make up a name with purple in it.
Well when all else you have is mexican brick...
Purple is damn good.
Mexican brick is the most common stuff around here, homegrown is becoming more prevalent but is over priced.

Like a said, find a way to make your gear turn a color completely different, like purple, but way cooler. Neon would be nice, UV glow would be better, glow in the dark good too.
Folks love "cool", and frankly you'd have a major hit on your hands with all the celebs wanting this new crazy weed.
Hell you could even feed it a little something extra to keep them coming back.
Of course, most things that'd help it to react to the dark or UV probably wouldn't be very healthy to smoke, and letting your freshly chopped donkey dicks drink up water saturated with narcotics probably wouldn't be a good idea either, but I bet you could make a shitton of money.
To be honest, that's really why most growers are growing. Maybe not most growers here, but most folks growing in the states are doing it for profit, they just aren't smart enough to pull that kind of stuff.
Think about it, the most important thing you can do when there is a wealth of supply is to create demand for your product by making it unique and desireable, and all of a sudden you, holding all of the supply, can set the price, and make a killing. It's kind of what Enron did with energy in California, minus the unique part, unless you count the fact that the unique part was that they bought all of it, which would be a tad bit hard to do with herb.
BTW the entire idea is meant to be sarcastic, though the irony is that it would actually work if you could pull it off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_fluorescent_protein
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is composed of 238 amino acids (26.9 kDa), originally isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria that fluoresces green when exposed to blue light.[1][2] The GFP from A. victoria has a major excitation peak at a wavelength of 395 nm and a minor one at 475 nm. Its emission peak is at 509 nm which is in the lower green portion of the visible spectrum. The GFP from the sea pansy (Renilla reniformis) has a single major excitation peak at 498 nm. In cell and molecular biology, the GFP gene is frequently used as a reporter of expression.[3] In modified forms it has been used to make biosensors, and many animals have been created that express GFP as a proof-of-concept that a gene can be expressed throughout a given organism. The GFP gene can be introduced into organisms and maintained in their genome through breeding, injection with a viral vector, or cell transformation. To date, the GFP gene has been introduced and expressed in many bacteria, yeast and other fungi, fish (such as zebrafish), plant, fly, and mammalian cells, including human. Martin Chalfie, Osamu Shimomura, and Roger Y. Tsien were awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on 8 October 2008 for their discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein.

In my area purple colored weed fetches a premium, to varying degrees depending on your societal associations. If you are in to the Hip-Hop culture you are going to pay between $500-$700 an ounce. If you are more the Rock and Roll type then you will probably pay about $500-$550. I have heard of people paying $35 a gram for purple. I also know of a guy that gets 10 OZ of PURPS for $5000 and raves about it like he's getting a good deal; fucking hilarious.
And if you are a grower or cannasseur you don't care what color the weed is as long as it's up to your personal standards of quality. Purple is pretty, but it ain't the be all to end all.
I like ANTHOCYANINS they taste good, and they sure are pretty.

I'd also say that some of the people just smoke because they think that's cool. So smoking purple buds is way "cooler"...
I hate those people. Some of them, whom probably never saw a fine looking bud in their life talk about how much they know about it, lying and telling some stupid things that even a goose wouldn't belive.
And the funniest thing about some of those people is that about 10 years ago a discussion was started about smoking pot on a hip-hop forum in my country (Eastern Europe BTW), and some guy wrote there as a joke that you can grow cannabis like a normal flower (as your mum does with hers), but because canna needs more nutes you should kill a rat and place it the soil. from there the discussion gone crazy for many pages. The funny thing is some people who want to grow cannabis now are still asking about that rat... how to find a rat, how to kill it, how to burry it... and so on.
Some people are just stupid... and they want to look cool, so puple weed would be the sh|t for them.
now excuse me while i light my spliff...
