I'm sure you can but at what cost to you're plants. Raising or lowering you're pH will do the same as cold temps by limiting the plants ability to use nutrients out of their pH range.
But! Shifting pH can also induce autumnal fade by that very same mechanism. I personally prefer to feed a couple of hard doses of sugar(s) and let the microbes fix N and force the fade that way.
I've experienced no yield loss from strains just from the presence of anthocyanin's. In fact I have 2 sisters, one a purple bitch and one a normal plant with just purple streaks and the purple bitch out yields it's sister.View attachment 597260
My point being that 90% of you're coloration is related to genetics. I don't change anything to make my plants turn colors.
And you could achieve the same results by starving the plants of nutrients by feeding it no P. Which get locked out at cold temps.
Anyway, best of luck with you're endeavors.
I've done it twice, to try to force a fade, and it didn't really cause a fade. After that someone suggested feeding the sugars, so that's what I've been doing these past several years.
