its actually nute defeciencies that can cause it to turn purple. so i'd just lower temps if you really want to.

When your plants are deficient in phosphorus, this can overall reduce the size of your plants. Not enough causes slow growth and causes the plant to become weak, to little amount of Phosphorus causes slow growths in leaves that may or may not drop off. The edges all around the leaves or half of the leaves can be brownish and work its way inwards a bit causing the part of the leaves to curl up in the air a bit. Fan leaves will show dark greenish/purplish and yellowish tones along with a dullish blue color to them. Sometimes the stems can be red, along with red petioles that can happen when having a Phosphorus deficiency. This isn’t a sure sure sign of you having one though, but can be a sign. Some strains just show the red petioles and stems from its genes.
So pretty much the overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint to the fan leaves is a good sign of a Phosphorus deficiency. Having Cold weather (below 50F/10C) can make phosphorous absorption very troublesome for plants.

Thanks brick for the 101 on Plant deificient BUTTT im talking about in stativa? Like getting granddaddy to become more ummmmm daddyish. lol no homo More purple. sometimes I come across purple which isnt purple or "stativa" that has the stativa smell without the color. Im growing Indica right now so no worries just wondering.

The first part of your original question was; "By dropping the temp or..." I gave temperature specific information about how it can cause color changes, purple being one of the.
If you had mentioned any specific strain in your first post rather than a general question you might have received more specific information in regards to that strain.
What are the genetics of Grand Daddy? What is it made up of, what strains went into the cross? Let me know and I might be able to provide you with some information that is more strain specific.
I am familiar with Grand Daddy Purple, the mostly indica hybrid cross that was made by crossing Purple Erkle x Big Bud, but not a sativa or mostly sative hybrid cross called Grand Daddy.

What particular color or colors do you believe a sativa should have, and are you one of the puppies who consider any hybrid that is more than 50% sativa a sativa or are you like me and call them sativa dominant sativa/indica crosses and only call pure sativas a sativa?
I cut my teeth on real true pure sativas in the late 60's and 70's and to this day I mostly smoke sativas and I am curious what color or colors you believe they should have, and also what odor they should have too?

edit: I'm high...I got my threads mixed up.
I think I must have smoked too much.

In keeping with the theme of the thread, though...the purple is in the genes.
I've grown a purple power that wasn't remotely purple at all. I'm told some of them won't turn purple unless you drop the temps some and THEN the gene comes out.

can be genes, and can be environment. Genetics has nothing to do with sativas specifically, though one of the original purple landraces was a purple thai sativa. Anyway, try doing a search for grandaddy purp or related terms on riu. Within the last week there was a thread with very detailed info, from people who have dialed it in, on what they have done to encourage more of the colorings. My experience smoking the strain (haven't grown it) is that it's usually blotchy with little well defined purples, but that was all commercial, so I doubt they were giving it the care we all tend to

i've grown close to pure sativa..like 90%sativa..just cut this Jack The Ripper and it smells kinda musky and piney like a pine tree, kinda smells like trainwreck if u guys know what smell im talking about..and it has a lemon flavor to it..i've grown purple strains alot tho and notice they usually turn purple on their own because i've never dropped temps to get my bud purple, it did it on its
own..i might of feed a high PK so that could of helped but i think its all genetics that makes the weed turn purple

I have seen purple strains where some, or none of them, turned even the lightest shade of purple and looked like any non-colored strain and I have seen it happen where all have turned very, very purple. I have seen the very same thing with Blueberry. I have seen Stinky Pinky covered with pink pistils and I have seen Stinky Pinky without a single pink pistil. Almost certainly, most times it is a case of the individual genetics of those particular plants and other times, at least to some degree or another, conditions and environment will likely come into play and be at least partially responsible for whatever the final outcome turns out to be.

the smell is all genetics and temps probably have a little to do with it

Ok got it Brick top... Thanks
Should I drop my temp in my water during flushing stage to get my plants to become a nice purple color?
