Can I put my plant in the fridge to make it more purple?

I have two purple power plants, that I have grown from seed.
They both seem like way different plants, one has minimal amount of purple on the actual calyx and in the bud, and the other one has a lot of its leaves purple, but not much into the bud yet. My temps are always really high, around 90, so I know they will have trouble turning very purple. They are close to harvest, I could probably chop them down in a week, but I was wondering if I stick them in the fridge for a certain amount of time could it makes the plants turn really purple?

don't recommend that. the sudden drop in temp will most likely shock them. big time. the reason the plants tend to go purple when temps are low is because the plant has trouble absorbing nutes. 90's? thats a little high man. especially in flower. got to try to get the temps in the room down. the genes, and strength are still there rather the bud is purple or not. the seeds probably were the wrong pheno. meaning they missed the purple gene. i understand if your selling it,and need the purp. but please don't put them in the fridge!!

I don't plan on selling it, I just thought it would be cool to get some more purple buds.
And yeah I know the temps are high, but I have no choice, right now I have as much venting and stuff as I can get. And I wouldn't be worried about shocking them since I would just do it since they are about to be harvested anyways?

You mean "Pure Power Plants"? Or is their a new purple hybrid?

NO< putting them in the frig will not turn them purple.

If you want your buds to be purple, Just add blue food coloring to your water when you flush the plant,, WALLA... Purple buds....

No! they'll taste like shit...and if you want them purple just keep your grow room around 65*F at night(not recommended but if you really wanna do it).
