Pale yellow leaves and solid nugs, but the hairs have barely receded and are mostly white still. I have to admit to some neglect the past 2 weeks, mostly upper 50s temperatures during lights off, so a chilly reservoir. A sweet hacienda became available on the next ridge over from mine, and I pounced on it. I've vacated the previous house, everything but Ralph, Ricky, and half the jelly pie project, which is just now showing sex. I can move them, as they're still somewhat small, but the Usefuls are gonna have to come down in days as we've cleaned and painted all the rooms except the plant room, and the flooring crew is due Wednesday.

Interesting [ to me ] side note: the internet installer, a cool cat by way of Venezuela, did a great job, and I habla un poco espanol, so we hit it off. I tipped him a joint when he was done [ Thursday ]. Thursday night he called. Said his wife asked him to see if I could spare some buds. Dije ciertamente, amigo. :eyesmoke:

I popped 2 seeds, 1 male and 1 female. The female starting showing amber right at 8 weeks. I always put my finished plants in a dark room for 3 days before cutting, tomorrow I will cut. No purple at all.

Lower temps may help bring out those purple hues. Shock them with 50°F temp for a day or two in the cold and they may get some color. This is my usual tactic to get blueberry crosses to show their blueberry heritage. Another benefit to the lower temps is to signal your plants that fall is ending (we already do this with lighting schedule, but few do this with temp as well) and your resin production should increase in the plants attempt to preserve itself.

During my last grow, my power went out while i was away at work. My tent hit a low of 45°F that day during lights out. The next day, my Blue Blood and Aurora Indica started showing off a purple hue to their leaves.

While it is true that cold temps can help bring out colors, I don't think that is what he is looking for. I think he wants the purple pheno stardawg not just a forced color change.

looking for the opposite of that, that's the daddy of all things gps, surely out of two indica dom parents, someone found a more indica dom pheno. For God's sake, is it that hard, lmfao!

ps I also thought I seen the other day someone imitating frost on an indoor plant and packing the top of pot with cubed ice. Im not sure I want purple that bad, just sayin. Maybe it works, maybe it don't. lol

Yeah, people do some weird shit. In my opinion, there are so many strains available that turn purple without inducing it, that if you want purple, just get one of those.

get rdy to shoot me, but i never saw the allure of purple.
i mean it is cool, but idk, who cares about the color is how i mostly feel. other than bag appeal, and i don't sell it, i don't understand why ppl select for purple over other stuff. if it happens to be purple as i said cool beans, but to select for purple or to have a breeding goal of purple in 2019 to me is not that interesting. now that said the vibrant lavender purples with pinks all in the flower are gorgeous, but again it's like far far down the list of things i care about. tbh when i first started growing with super shwag bag seed i was shocked at how many turned purple so that made it even less appealing to me simply because before i grew i thought it was rare or some feat of breeding. turns out to be fairly commonplace, at least regarding the foliage. now with that said out of 20 blue dreams rn i have only one is turning purple at week 5, but it is early, but if it remains only one plant i will be shocked and that will be the least amount of purple i ever had during the winter. of course i assume much of my purple was because of the night temps in the basement i used to grow in
disclaimer, i don't meant to downplay true bred purples and blacks like urkle or black domina. those have a ton of merit and are top notch smoke but not because they are purple is how i feel
