But this does work. I've used the method myself as well as many others.
Hahahahaha yeah ok.Don't need to. The science says it's so. Along with experience.
boom!finally!! The truth on a medman thread.never seen that before.Let me fill you in on a little something.
- just because medman says something , it does not mean it’s true .
the guy pours freezing ice cubes into his roots for godsakes.and the science makes it true does it?please explain this science to us then?Shocking is a term used to discribe flipping to flower by light deprivation . 24 to 48 hours in darkness forces the plant to flower right away rather than in a week .
I hate when jerks like those two get on my thread. I reported them.
Yeah, i aim for 60 for my purpling but noticed almost every strain i had at the time purpled at 55 or just below. Most also flowered slower. I didn't notice a quality difference but i'm one guy and the others i share with are too casual to judge that kind of thing.As for dropping temps in flower, I do that to bring out the colors. And it works. And if im looking to bring out the reds and pinks in the last 8 to 10 days of flowering I drop ph to around 5 or 5.5 to lock out any n-p-k left in the soil. Mind you I've already flushed and cut off nutes. And that works too.
With you on that. I have become a winter lover due to my affinity for indoor gardens and color. I can purple 8ish months of the year here. I'd love to see any photos you have of nice colors. My photos are all mashed up right now but i can find some if you're interested. I'm not into photography too much so i hardly make the effort to correct the hps light influence. I also have a 1k hps in all my rooms currently because i got them cheap lol. I use cmh and hps if you're wondering. I should clarify by purpling, i mean coloring, not only purple colored plants.I've done the darkness thing once when I was in a hurry to finish but never a side by side. But it did flower quickly. As for dropping temps, I drop mine as far as my airconditioner will take it which is about 55. And they do slow a bit from the cold. But the Afghan I grew last year turned a rich purple on the leaves and a dark shade of blue in the buds. The pH was neutral. I did another a while back with a ph at finish around 8.5 and got a nice blue from a blueberry kush. Now I'm at it again with a red strain and giving that a try. I do know that much of what we see in pics are just photography but I want to become e good at reaching for the colors
