How to get buds this color?

That kind of purpling is largely genetics and luck. While some strains will turn a bit purple with colder temps, i find it a lot more important to have the genetics that will cause a purple strain regardless of the temps.

^ I agree. I think the temp thing is more for plants that only go purple/blue a little at the end. A purple like that is genetic.
I've seen GDP go super purple... but it was more of a dark purple/blue. Your link is like lavender purple. Beautiful...

mostly genetics and a whole lot of selection. even if you grow the same seed stock as that cut I think you'll go through 50-100 possibly more seeds to find that cut. also a lot of purple strains need cooler temps to turn purple and some turn purple on their own. but good selection is the way to find an elite mother in any strain.

Thanks guys, this was deft the most beautiful piece of my bud my eyes have ever laid on. Any idea on what strains may produce this type of color besides the purple power, the 2 places I purchase seeds are currently all out. I'm deft willing to start selectively searching for the different colors.

as said Genetics. If you want one of your own and you come across a plant that produces a different colour when flowering then you could always take it and breed that genetics into your own strain

ya probally is a fake if it really looked like that it would be the most popular purple strain in the world and I haven't heard anything about that strain before.

Has anyone heard about using food coloring in the feeds to alter colors? I also heard people use diff flavored coolaids or juice at the end of the flowering from what ive heard ur supposed to let the plant drie out right before harvest and do a final feed with w.e. flavor or color u desire. Has anyone ever heard of this?

its supposed to give buds the taste and color u give the last feed with (or so ive heard) im not 100% sure of this method but coolaids are bsically sugar water with flvoring and color die idk how the plnt would react.

Glad someone on here has good judgement. I do photoshop work often. This is clearly doctored. It is very easy to make an image like that. And yet this magical strain is also unknown to me, and I've never seen it and I am in the Mecca of Mary. This is bullshit lol.

The flavor, appearance, and high is genetics, you as the grower are responsible for unlocking the true potential of the herb... and it doesn't involve adding food coloring or extra bull.... i wouldn't ruin a whole crop trying this!

adding food coloring to change the color could have some truth to it. in flowers like roses and stuff, if you add food coloring to white flowers it changes the color. but only in white flowers. i don't see it happening for buds.

in the flowers, you cut them and then the water you put them in has food coloring in it and it continues to soak up the water and it turns colors. idk about watering the roots.

This is indeed a terrible idea. A plant is not some kind of sponge that just absorbs whatever you give it and stores it up; and if you want to go burn some koolaid to find out what it tastes like, i'd be curious as to the results, (because I like it when dumb people hurt themselves) but its probably going to be closer to burning sugar and artificial flavoring than anything else.

Also, I am definitely in the 'OP's pic is super lazy photoshop' camp.
