What influences the chances of you cannabis plant turning purple is the genetics of the plant. If the strain is bred with traits that show purple flowers and leaves during the flowering period. There are stable strains out there right now that will turn purple right now. Some examples are Purple Star, Purple #1, these cannabis strains will have a better chance of turning purple.
Several pigments are responsible for color in plants: chlorophyll, carotene, xanthophyll, and anthocyanins. Chlorophyll is the pigment in chloroplasts of plants that reflects green light. Plants use the energy absorbed by chlorophyll in photosynthesis to produce food for their growth and development.
During flowering, with the passing of summer, days become shorter. The phytochromes, the light-sensing mechanisms in leaves, recognize the shorter day lengths.
The molecules reflecting red wavelengths, anthocyanins, are water-soluble pigments that occur in the cell sap, creating the red, pink, and purple hues. These pigments may not be present during the summer, or vegetative cycle, but their formation is encouraged during a succession of cool nights and sunny days.
The first degree of natural purple in cannabis could be characterized as occurring exclusively in the leaves and petioles: the colors of autumn appearing in the fan leaves during cooler temperatures and close to harvest.
Your best bet for purple plants is to purchase seeds strains that are proned to change colour in the fall. As the nights become cooler and your plants start to flower you will see the beautiful purple colour come out in your plants.

Why were true-breeding pea Plant important for Mendels experiment?
True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
