You are prbly right bro. I just don't see the pics as being that conclusive, especially the center one.
Peace, ind
its that damHPS light thats yellow-washed the whole pic.
makes the purple looklike brown...

Well here the thing i have 3 other plants the same strain. Their buds are all green and the leaves around the buds are green with white crystals. I know my pics suck. Borrowed a camera from a friend. I'll take some better pics of all five plants. Post them tomorrow.
For the time being I have the 2 'suspect' plants hang in out in another room. Really hope it's just a purple strain. I have no info on the seeds, they've been in the fridge for about 2.5 years. Haven't had the facilities to grow when until now.
So internet people, stay tuned, better pics to come.

Cheers Yankee,
What you are saying Yankee makes perfect sense to me, but considering the pics and the fact that only some of the identical plants are doing it I would still poke around a little with a toothpick or something and make sure.
You could be right and there could be rot at the same time, right?!
Peace, Kind

OK...so all the plants are the same strain but each is from a different seed or are they clones of the same plant. If cones of the same plant did you get them from a reliable source so no chance of different cuts getting mixed up?
Sounds like from seed and that would explain the variation right there. A friend made some seeds of a purple strain and half were the green pheno and the other half were the purple pheno. Only about half turned out like this and the others were all green. This purple has nothing to do with temps. Gotta add as another post...

It's a rare purple pheno of Early Riser x Kali Mist. Don't wanna see this thread get hijacked with my pic so trying to keep it on track now...just an example to show that from seed half looked like this and the others were normal. You can also see where it's purple there's trichomes and green not. It also purpled from the inside out.
What MaryLennox posted reminds me of Grape Ape as I said before in how it's developing.
i had bud rot on a white rhino a few years back..... i seen a post up here ^ of white rhino with bud rot so if you want a mold resistant strain dont go for that ..its because the buds get so dense the air cant penetrate them .....no matter how good your ventilation is

Yeah YG they are from seeds, The more and more I look at these plants I think you are right. They look more purply yummy rather than grey and moldy... I think it had a lot to do with the HPS light. The seeds are from a trip to Amsterdam about 3 years back. They were from a coffee shop, they seemed like they were on the up in up. For the life of me I can't remember what I bought, want to say like Mk something or other...
I also tried to scrape at the stuff i thought was mildew or mold with a knife and it doesn't come off very easily. I borrowed a camera from a friend, but unfort. the batteries are dead, charging them now. Have pics later. Also I order a hand microscope so I can get a close up look at the leaves, maybe determine if they are purple glands or something else.
Alittle history of my grow while the battey charges... I have a grow cabinet it's very small 20 cu feet or so, 250w electronic ballast I veg'd under MH and switched to 12/12 with the HPS. The hood is entailed with 110cfm panasonic bathroom whisper fan, it closed looped. The whole box is ventilated with 150 cfm pan. whisper fan, it pulls the air from the bottom up thru the plants and thru a 2" carbon layer. My grow is designed to be completely stealthy. The plants are very close together unfort, I planned on growing just 4 plants, my grow box is very limited on space, so I planted 6 seedlings, it just happened that 5 were females.
And here we are, my first grow. Wet behind the ears, worried I'm gunna grow some toxic mold weed. Sorry for the long post, but better pics are to come. Thanks for all you folks weighin in on my post. Growing smoke isn't exactly something you want to advertise, so It's hard to seek advice from ppl ya know in your everyday life. So I'm glad there are resoures like this on the internet. So thanks internet peeps... ML

IMO the pocket microscopes are better for looking at material not on
your plant. It is hard to get it in focus holding it up to the plant. I
have tried about 5 or 6 of SE's loupes and have decided this is the best
for me.

I don't see bud rot, just purpling. The plant does look a little
deficient in the last pic. How do the older fan leaves look? She
appears to have a N deficiency. Hard to tell from the pics, though.
The bud leaf still looks green, but the pistils and bud development
show that they should not be yellowing this early. What's your
medium and nute schedule?

Jim, I think you are right one the N deficiency I stated watering with high N bat guano tea. When I thought I had destroyed half my crop I pulled back the nutes, prolly a bigger mistake, then mistaking the PM. But I guess it's all in the name of science and learning my way to becoming a better grower.
Well I guess I left out some important info, soil and nutes. Originally I was planning on transplanting to larger containers, so the plants are in the same containers I vegged in. The soil is mostly peat moss and perlite, some mushroom compost mixed in there also. It's one of the 'organic' soiless mixes LC's #2 to be specific. I originally mixed blood and bone meal in there to start off. But since I haven't transplanted as I planned, I switched to watering with guano teas... I have some Hi P and Hi N mixes, also some stuff somewhere in between.
Here are some more pics, Better use the camera while I got it
1) I think is more evidence that I am N deficient in most of my plants
2 & 3) are pics of the set up. all 5 plants crammed in one little box of awesome.
4) gives a sense of how big the grow is...

Last set of pics, these are more close ups of the buds... In hindsight I feel a but foolish, since at first it looked like mold or mildew and a few days later, looks like really nice buds.
Super glad I didn't do anything foolish like destroy the plants...
First 3 pics are of the other 'purpling' plant. the last is of one from one that is not... you can see why I was concerned, I thought all plants from the same seeds would grow alike, buds and what not.
All bright green and white buds vs the dark green / purpling buds.
Well hope these buds all look healthy, I decided to put them back in the grow box. Thanks again for everyone's input, next grow will be documented in a journal so I can get advice as I go rather than, seek it out in 'emergencies'
