There all different, but when it comes down to it, I all about the look. If it smell dank, and looks dank, it probably is dank. It could really care less what it called. If some just said that they had some dank nugs with out a the naming bullshit I would be happier b/c it more accurate and I am not expecting the same high.

My favorite is some good B.c nugs when I am vancouver. Man that where it at.
finally someone who knows what they are talking about..

What you say is true to an extent.. each grower may have a different method to get maximum potency out of their plants and by doing so will effect the quality when compared to the same strain grown by different methods.


the strains are a rule of thumb.. basically.. when you know the accurate name you can pretty much anticipate the genetics to swing towards more indica or sativa regardless of the growing medium.

But you must have the accurate strain name to identify.

purp is not a strain its a street slang used to identify the flowers that bloom with purple colors.

but i hace had purp which are as follows

purple haze
grand daddy purp
purple Ercle
Gods Gift
Purple dot
and that is all I can think of at the moment.

The Gods Gift is the best purp strain out there and it is truely an amazing specimen.


The fact still reamains that Genetics in cannabis play just as much of a role as the genetics in every other living thing.

A rose is a rose, a head of lettuce is lettuce a tomato is a tomato and a potato is a potato

but you have big budding roses and mini roses, you have iceberg lettuce and romain, you have vine ripe tomatoes and roma tomatoes, you have idaho potatoes and red potatoes etc etc..

All plants will grow differntly under different conditions and even though they are different common similarities will take shape when you grow the same strain because the genetics cannot be altered in a plant without cross breading.. and cross breading is an entirely different topic..
