the heat will do it too. mid 80's and the only reason I use this is to save on the meter.
I also believe Anthocyanin comes from Xanthophyll which is different from chlorophyl in that is doesn't photosynthesize as efficiently as chlorophyl does. Affecting your overall yield and potential potency. If you buds turn purple natuarlly due to genetics so be it, I wouldn't force them to with cold if at all possible.Anthocyanin is what makes a plant turn purple. It's mostly activated when temps go below 50 degrees. Depending on your plants potential for anthocyanin, it can go real purple or just a bit.
But going purple is also a sign of phosphorous being locked out (which happens at colder temps). Which means smaller, less dense buds and an overall less healthy plant.
Best bet is to get a plant that is known to be very purple, as plants with a very high anthocyanin potential I think turn purple just easier. A lot of plants have this potentials, really comes down to the pheno. I've had plants of the same strain turn black with red in the middle while all the others were just green.
So... Get a purple plant pheno.
Otherwise you can do what some people do: Torture the plants with cold air temps and icing the water for the last couple weeks. But yield will be affected.
Shock the plant like that IMO.a simple way is to simply flush with cold water and that can help bring out those beautiful colors
So,I know that buds that have purple phenos must already be geneticaly capable of doing so( ex. Purple Star, Pakistan Chitral Kush), but what would be the best temperature to bring out the purple colors that some buds produce? What is the safest/lowest temp that a plant can handle without dramatically stunting growth or killing it?
In the summer months i get no purps or pinks. High 76 low 72. But the rest of the year i get crazy purps, blacks, pinks, oranges and alittle blue haze......High 72 low 65. Lower then 65F and i notice a slower growth at the end of flower, not quite as much return, several times below 65....63 62. Best of luck on youre rainbows.I know that buds that have purple phenos must already be geneticaly capable of doing so( ex.

P98 bubba ....Huge yields im told....
30 day flush?!?!?!:opps:I just stright water for the last 30 days of flower....
Yeah thats what i thought,buds are missing on filling out.so important to keep the nutes up close to the end..30 day flush?!?!?!:opps:
Refering to the G13Hashplant...........And the temps. Not the strain.For the strain....Good one.... :)
