cut sugar and fan leaves ...had tooo!!!

Hey man ,sorry you did that to your plant ,you should have asked here first! .By the way ,purp strains don't all need cool temps to purp up .Some do ,but not all.You will know for future ,your plant needs its leaves to live.. no leaves = no more growth ,and that includes bud.What you did is just pre-harvest it lol.live and learn.If i were you i'd forget the autos though.you can run any strain with 1 week veg or even 12 12 from start ,making any strain you want an auto.I personaly don;t ever want ruderalis in my strains..thats just me though ,i would kind of have the feeling that it could have been better with out the ruderalis in it..later

Also,dont feel too bad it didnt get purple..it wasnt anything you did. A lot of strains that breeders sell as purple dont get a speck of purple in them when you grow them out. Ive found that its lucky to find one or two plants out of a pack of ten that will get full coloring from a purple strain. Its a genetic thing,just because a parent plant turns purp doesnt mean it will pass it on. And the cold temp thing in my experience really only works to boost the coloring on plants that are already showing some purple coloring. Ive never seen a totally green leaf/bud plant turn dark purple just from cold (maybe a little shading on the leaves and calyx tips but not full on)
