Add iodine to your nutrient solution to produce a PURPLE tint in your crop?

[Pnuggle]

Is there any truth in this? I was thinking about it. when iiodine meets with a potato, it turns purple. Why? because of the starches in it. Now, all plants have starches(and sugars and blah blah), but my question is, would adding iodine to a nutrient regiment react with the starches in the plant and create a purple effect on the leaves/buds? Or is this all just lack of theory without a real hypothesis?
Perhaps, there is far more starch in a potato than in a marijuana plant, and the effects would not be seen?
Anyone tried this?

ewww.. can you imagine smoking iodine ? Besides, the whole "purple bud craze" is BS anyway... Most purple buds arent all that ( potency ) ..

yeah, i dont care about the effects of the high, or the shit taste.

does anyone think this would work in essence?

i see a dif thread like this each day, and no offense to you P, but why do you want to fuck around with the color of buds? greens not good enough for you?

 

[Pnuggle]

really? ive never seen a thread on this.. ive heard of using cold conditions to produce purple. green is fine with me, i dont think you guys understand. im not trying to change my bud or make it purple so i can mass produce fake purple bud to sell to teenagers, im just wondering, in fucking essence, if this was possible. anyone else?

To do the starch test Iodine has to be dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, which is a salt, and im pretty sure Iodine is an anti septic so I wouldnt let your plant be exposed to it

if that doesn't work a can of spray paint will.. lmao

yesterday there was a thread about dipping buds in berry juice to change the color and flavor

maybe i dont see it daily, weekly would have been better choice of words

it sees like it would work in theory, if no one has tried it, id say an experiment is in order

there we go, thanks for that bit of information. i know it was kind of a broad generalization to make about starches and iodine, but i figured someone would be here to set me straight, thanks

might work you could always water them with beetroot juice too more natural than iodine tasting nug's, you could always spraypaint them neon pink that'l be new
