I know techniques don't change much.

What was the point though?

Uh, did you check the thread topic. Okay... now look at my post. I think they are aligned okay

I mean I get it.

At the same time its not common just to dig up old threads just to comment on them.

I'm more curious I guess. No offence meant. Just wondering how you happened to comment on this thread.

Oh! I see. Apparently, I misunderstood yr initial comment. Sorry
I google search My topic and just write “rollitup “ behind my search title. A lot of times it’ll Pull up an outdated thread.

It happens all too often that people post questions regarding a plants problem-issue, but no one ever answers it directly. Every time I find one that needs more info, I will update them if I have knowledge on the subject. I see it as helpin the next guy who runs into the same scenario.

Old thread I know, but, yes, its pretty much all temperature to bring out color. Even dedicated to the color purple strains will finish out nothing but green at regular outdoor summer temps or indoor temps just being cooled from fans moving air so nothing cooks. But, throw an air-conditioner in the room and most every plant will turn purple where blue or yellow is a little less common as a fluke just happening. But I personally have been experimenting with temperature divided by color for about 10 or so yrs now and in all honesty, ive had better luck getting purple to show in the bud growing non purple strains over dedicated purple strains. Having said that, you guys are wasting your time trying to go to 55 and 60 degrees cause tbats just barely starting to effect the process that makes color happen over just being green. You want purple that actually stays past harvest and drying? Drop that shit down to 40 and almost everything in the room will be purple without a doubt. The closer to 32 you can get the room without actually freezing them to where they go into shock, the darker the color will be in the end product. Its not nutrients, its not a miracle lol, its pretty much all temperature. Btw, this might have already been covered, but I stopped reading at the end of the first page and figured I'd just answer that on up, and, here's a couple few of mine that I've done since figuring out how to do it myself. my attitude seed bank purchase history goes back to 2013 or 2015, can't remember but its been a hella long time and each order is at least 40 or more seeds split fairley even between purple strains and whatever else the kids are liking at the time cause I like sweet and fruity so purple strains are meant for me. But, sadly, just cause its a purple strain doesn't mean it's going to be purple at harvest, and it took me yrs to figure that out but its pretty simple to make happen now that I have. But, thats what I know from growing butt loads of different plants from seed and even more from cuttings, not what I heard or read from other ppl, real life trial and error and more error and finely success that was consistent, not just hit and miss or a fluke.

This is terrible advice, and horribly incorrect.

Honestly, nearly all of it. I knew after the first sentence that it was off course. Genetics is the #1 factor. Temps can help bring it out for sure, and yeah if you drop to freezing temps nearly anything will purple a bit. That said, if you can't grow a PCK and get it to purple in 75-degree temps, then it's simply a green pheno.

Ok, yep I would think they would have to have some blue genes to be predisposed towards purple but I also agree with him that temp drops will bring them out if they are there.

Purp adds nothing to the high …. It is a pigment shift brought on by Anthocyanins ( like a berry , plum , grapes or other shit ).
The purpling has some inflammatory benefits even blood pressure control , bumping the medicinal side it.

Many growers find the smoke rather meh … grape strains for example.

Lastly , purps / grapes / reds or pretty pink strains are “ trailer queens “ - pretty photo models , good for bragging.

My ice cream cake turns dark purple at 80F and has purple at the base of the hairs at week 4 with no low temps. Had other crosses turn purple no matter what too had a pheno of Dante’s inferno do it recently

Interesting regarding the medicinal benefits..
I picked up some ingredients today to have a go at making some topical balms and lotions..
Want to see if it helps with arthritic hands and knees..

I’ve also found high intensity lights can trigger purple as a sunscreen. Like when branches are exposed to the lights they often go purple

That could be just a lack of nutes too. Not enough food to keep up with the light hitting the plant. I assumed we were talking about purple buds though, not stems or leaves.
