I think its mostly the aesthetic appeal of it more than anything, there's plenty of strains equally or more potent than any purple strains.

Man this is why I love you guy your funnier then shit.

The difference between purple buds and non-purple buds is that the purple buds were exposed to the cold and that the plant put out what can only be called a natural anti-freeze. When the plant releases this chemical it causes the new growth to grow purple and also ads that slightly different taste that purple buds have. 

Some strains that have been growing in cold areas for long periods of time start to put out the chemical as soon as they start to flower mainly cause the areas they are from or the parent plants were from start getting cold in early fall when the budding starts.

I didnt think you could get GDP seeds, isn't it clone only strain?

I've given this answer in a bunch of posts this week but it fits here too.

This is where breeders make money. There is no such thing as a strain called Bubba Kush, Granddaddy Purple, Purps, Trainwreck, Yadda yadda yadda they are the name of certain plants. The only way to get real Bubba, Granddaddy and the others is if you manage to get a cutting that came from the original plants.

Now the way they do it in Holland.
Somebody crosses Super Skunk with Wonder Woman and calls it super Girl. Now you go out and get Super Skunk seeds and grow them out and get some Wonder Woman seeds and grow them out. You manage to find two great females one of each strain. You cross them, do you have Super Girl? No, you have a knockoff. The only way to get Super Girl if is you have the original parent plants.

In other word in Cali it's common to name a plant that a person thinks is killer. What that means is say I grow out a killer Lavender plant. I decide that this one plant is gonna be called Mags Lavender Lady and start to give out cuttings of it. Somehow it manages to get around and wa-la a new med strain.

Now in Amsterdam its a little different. They tend to cross two parent plants and give the name to the entire batch of seeds that came from the parent plants that is why with their strains you get phenos. You buy AK-47 and some look like sativa and some look like indica and some in between.

You don't hear about phenos with the Cali med strains. There isn't a sativa leaning Granddaddy or Bubba or OG. Have two Granddaddy  plants and they don't look alike (common with Amsterdam strains) then one or both are not true Granddaddy.
