Burnt and abused; but beautiful

I am mildly disappointed with my performance; but quite impressed with the grow overall. Due to improper growing, I can't comment on the taste and aroma, but I can say that the pant's best trait is it's appearance. And it's worst trait would also probably be it's appearance. With good lighting it looks amazing... But otherwise, everyone that I showed the dried nugs to thought that they were burnt (from appearing more black than purple). And that's not exactly the sort of response that you want to hear when showing someone your weed. So I have mixed feelings about weed with this rich of purple pigment. Ideally, I would breed it with something to lighten it up.
