Purple Bud

Hey does anybody know of a good way to make your outdoor plant turn purple? Ive been using cold water but its not doing alot.

Cold night temps are what helps them turn purple

Yea thats been helping too. Im also setting ice packs on the dirt in the pot. Like I said its not doing much but im getting a bit of red and purple color on the leaves. Has anybody ever heard of putting a plant in the freezer?

I wouldnt!

Yea I usually wouldnt do that. But this is kind of an experimental plant for me and its only like 1 foot tall. She has some decent little buds tho.

If you leave it in too long, you will kill it

Yea not too worried about that either because its startin to die and i can see the tips of leaves turning brown and curlin up.

If they are meant to turn purple, they will. Just leave them be.

Well like i said its just one little plant for experiments

do what makes you feel good then send pictures of the corps

ya the cold temps outside did that to my plants...it was probably only like in the 40's or 50's so.......
i wouldn't put it in the freezer cuz that would be TOO cold! maybe try the fridge?.....but not for too long Good Luck!

pitch a small tent and pump co2 into it.

C02? Ive never heard of that method.

Hahaha AZHIAZIAM, isnt that a surf shop in los osos?

cold temps at night are the only way to do it and even then not all plants will turn purple in cold weather anyway...i had one turn purple but none of the others did

It is the strain not the cold,,,, this has got to be the strangest damm experiment Ive heard of yet on here....

ive heard that some purple strains dont actually turn purple until you harvest and dry the plants

From the cold just the leaves turn purple not the bud.

i picked this stuff up at a hydro store, but never got around to using it. i plan on trying it out on a couple of plants next season. its pretty expensive stuff and runs about $30 for the smallest bottle. i think this is also and experimental product, and before using it i would do some reading on it.

Well they turn purple not from cold water, stems and trunk turn purple from the cold buds turn purple frpn like soil ph is bout like 4 or under which intrn doesnt let it uptake nutriten or in nature all the chloriful(bad spellin a) will suck out of leaves and go into buds an inturn may turn purple , thats were the brown bud comes from lazy dumb farmers
