The best colors I have ever seen...

You get the purple and red by shocking the plant with cold temps, and the yellow by starving nutrients.
keeping all your leaves green all the way to harvest is better then getting multiple colors and yellowing at harvest
Purple/red can also be nutrient buildup or lockout, not just cold temps, yellow is generally lack of nitrogen. I've seen red/purple/blue/black and pink traits come out under cold conditions, my friend grew a bagseed that went well into October and turned the wildest hot pink I've ever seen a plant get. You want leaf die off at the end of flowering/ripening, green leaves at harvest means there's still a large concentration of built up nutrients in the plant, you want it to deplete as much of this as possible before harvest, usually the last week or so, that's why some people flush. Colors don't mean anything other than bag appeal, i never understood the fascination with it.

yeah keeping green leaves are pretty stupid with nutrient build up, idk colors are mad, my mum had a plant that had complete pale pink buds and pale pink hairs, we live in australia so bagseed it all is, but that smoke (I was underage then sneaky lil bastard) was divine, something I had never puffed on before until that day and sadly I dont think I ever will, She had some white widow, sure I puffed on that but nothing as good as this pale pink stuff my god, I was a seasoned toker for a kid of 16 as I have been smoking since the age of 13 which people use to call me stupid for but little do they know I was a straight A student in grade 10, pot never stopped me, never will

What temps do you run your room at?
It's winter here in western Canada now so nice and cold outside, so lights-on is ~78 degrees and lights off is 60-64 in the room my flower tent is in. The door is shut when lights are off and I open it for lights on.
