Does putting ice in pots do anything in flower??

Lest we not forget that green is the most efficient colour and any other colours reduce that. Anthrocyanin can be simply classed as an osmoregulator and is present in many higher plants.

Without a predisposition to purpling, a given strain cannot be induced to turn purple. Certain strains will have more naturally occurring anthocyanins than others, and when switching to the “winter” cycle of flowering, will start to express those purple pigments innately according to their genetic predisposition interacting with the unique chemical and environmental factors in which the plant is grown.

You lost me there but cyanidin can form a lot of different similar structured compounds and colours not just anthocyanin and most higher scientific institutes would isolate each and give meaning to their production.

If someone has managed to breed a colour you need only cite the name of such compound not state the anthocyanin debate :-)

I have heard purpling weed contains higher myrcin? And that people with opiate problems are responding well to it.
Not 100% sure but if true it brings a good reason for purple weed.

But again, why fuck around just save 100 bucks and but seeds that are purp

Hey guys seeing if anyone else in here has had any luck adding ice to their pots in flower to give the buds a purple color..I’m now in like day 50 something of flower and have been doing this for several days out of the week but it doesn’t seem to be affecting the color much.All I’m getting is the yellowing towards the end..I do feel it has made the nugs denser but that’s about it.

Here's some purple bud Jimmy, keep your temps at 64 during dark period, and keep the ice in your cocktails! :bigjoint:good luck

The forbidden tree that eve took that apple from and gave to adam, well that wasnt no apple tree that was my first grow and it wasnt fucking god that kicked them out of the garden of eden thats for sure....

But yes sorry i feel i complicated the quesrltion.

- If we know that anthicyanin is transient and a stress signal then why would it turn up as a peremenant feature in weed flower if there were no stress or cold temps.... these strains must use stuff other than anthocyanin and at that point genetic.

I understand why a water laden fruit of plum or grape might use anthocyanin as protection but weed - im not as versed there and if we had a simple colour trait why nit lets turn every strain purple :-)

Ive heard a couple people say putting ice on top of the media quickens the flowering initiation (RM3 I think it was). Cooler grow room temps do bring out the colours. I have been growing a cut that is green in summer and purple in winter (C99 X Sweet Skunk).

Just because people have posted some black pics here is a Black D.O.G. I grew.

Just as I thought, no answer to my question.
