purple haze is nothing more than pure origional haze with a rare purple pheno

now, why i said what u said is partly true is because it might not be considered a whole different strain, but just an uncommon phenotype of origional haze

there is a rare cherry ak-47 pheno, but thats not considered a whole new strain, so why should the purple coloration of origional haze be considered a whole new strain?

or, should they? they have different characteristics, such as in purple haze the purple coloration, and a slight increase of potency, and the sweet cherry taste in the ak-47

although there was a slight increase of potency in purple haze over origional haze, it was extremely overcharged due to its beauty of the purple coloration

all that being said, the main thing is, purple haze is real, and is still in existance being kept alive by select sativa breeders

but, the bud you and i buy labeled as purple haze is probably not purple haze
some breeders have bred strains of haze with purple strains labeling it purple haze, or just call any random purple bud purple haze, but thats not the true origional pure rare pheno purple haze(which is still one of the most potent buds)

it is so uncommon(purple and pure haze) because of all the care and time it took to grow
it is a pure sativa, which means that many people just don't have the room indoors to grow it(grows 10+), and its flowering time is insanely long, averaging over 13 weeks, while most indicas finish flowering in under 60 days

not to mention the buds could be as long as your arm
