Nature itself also plays a role in the popularity of purple hemp.

This variety of cannabis creates a connection between man and nature through its aesthetics and uniqueness.

Thecombination of its unique colours, genetics and natural charm has led to the popularity of purple cannabis. Growers and consumers are looking for strains that are out of the ordinary and offer an experience that is visually appealing and also offers quality effects. Purple cannabis meets these requirements and is therefore so popular with cannabis lovers.

The process of creating purple colours in cannabis

Theprocess of purple colour formation in cannabis is a fascinating phenomenon that is a result of the presence of specific pigments in the plant. The purple hues are the result of the production of anthocyanins, a group of pigments found in plants that are involved in colour variation.

Anthocyanins are produced in various parts of plants, including leaves, flowers and fruits, and play an important role in protecting plants from stress conditions such as sunlight and oxidative stress. Purple cannabis varieties have increased anthocyanin production, which gives them their characteristic colour.

Interestingly, the production of purple colours in cannabis can be influenced by various factors. For example, the genetics of the plant play an important role in determining whether the plant will produce purple hues. Conditions such as temperature, light, and nutrients can also influence environmental changes and the extent of purple hues.

Another interesting factor is the interaction between anthocyanins and other pigments such as chlorophyll. These pigments can work together or interact with each other, resulting in different color combinations.
