Its a shame, but the fact is that the danker your purple bud is, the harder it is to see the color
Look at this picture in thumbnail size and thats more like what you see looking at bud naked eye, you can barely even see the color. Zooming in really close lets you see the color, but even then you're just looking at the trichome heads because you're a cannabinoid fiend.
This bud would be so much prettier with less trichs, its a shame either way dagnabbit

Only know of the Kenny cut of GDP. Stan saved the last plants when Richmond closed Kenneys club for the last time. Stan opened a club in Vallejo called "Stan the Man" Kenny and Stan were partners from time to time.
