Haters gonna hate, but I love me some good purp. nothing like it, and you can't compete when it comes to marketing appeal. #smokedatpurp
I'd say yes.Has anyone done grand daddy purple does it go purple
Sick is that yours look dank what was taste and smell like did u hav to lower the nighttime tempI'd say yes.
I thinking of doing a purple coloured strain and wanna find a purple colour anyone no anyBrother, start reading some of the threads in the indoor growing section. So much information here, you could do so for some time and learn a lot. Good luck.
Fat purple?I thinking of doing a purple coloured strain and wanna find a purple colour anyone no any
I would buy them but they regulars and I want feminised seedsFat purple?
Ah gotcha, definitely wanna see what you go with!I would buy them but they regulars and I want feminised seeds
Lots of strains actually are purple /black/blue when lights and Temps mock natural season change. (slow fades into fall settings, cold and crisp w less and less light.
The green buds are not really what we want. The plant doesn't know and the breeder has bred for early development, and customers like bright green buds so... People just forgetting how it used to be. "vine ripened", or buried in the dirt if it wasn't. The
colors aint gonna change under summer light at the end of cycle.. The old veg-flower arrangement. Early flower and harvest should be different, like in nature.. Germ-veg-flower-harvest. Cant rush the harvest by trying to get more flower. Fade the nutes, fade the lights, fade the temp. Everything. Too much unripe greenbud in the world ;)
Welcome. Like @Dan789 said, this site has definitely a ton of information. I have found myself reading a lot of threads just based on the title to see what people had to say from experience. This place has been super helpful as well.I need advice and stuff so hope people can help
The truth about genetic purpling has nothing to do with phosphorous lockout and that's a common cannabis myth. When a leaf is in action and full of nutrients it appears green because the chlorophyll concentration overpowers/outcrowds any other colors and the leaf and buds appear green. There are compounds that create color in food and flower. Purple to red are called anthocyanins. When you flush your plant and lower the temperatures to approximately 60° at night, the plant creates anthocyanins in the leaf and the flushing rids it of much of its chlorophyll content and so the purple comes through. Without the cold temperature the plant doesn't create the anthocyanins and the leaves will be yellow.
To op, you made it purple with the lower temperatures and it showed when you flushed the plant. Anthocyanins can cause plants or buds to appear anywhere from purple to red and pink. I have found that it takes longer for red to show. If i age my purple cuts long the oldest calyxes are red as opposed to purple. The sensi seeds article outlines this also. Phosphorous lockout would never just turn things purple without other major affects. Scientifically, it's not logical and doesn't make sense that that would be causing the purpling at all. The truth is what make beets, plums, and blueberries their color, anthocyanins. Lastly, it requires cold air temperatures on the leaves, not the roots. You don't actually lockout phosphorous when purpling a plant. In hydro you would keep your water temperature the same and only lower the ambient temperature, heating the water if you have to. The idea that totally locking out phosphorous during flowering would cause ONLY purpling and not stunted, unhealthy foliage and buds is absurd.
