well why might you want to change the color of your plant?
Plants are green because of the chlorophyll, witch acts like a pigment. Some times your plants will go purple if the temps. are to low but that is caused by the cold retarding the absorption of nutes.
Hope this gave you close to the answer you wanted to hear?

making your plant purple will not make it better smoke, if you want purple buds you need a strain with purple

Purple weed-for the most part is mediocre at best. I guess your boys will think you da shiznit. Cuz you blaze dem purps. It might look good, but its usually not very potent. The kiddies will worship you though.

some people say keping temps at about 65-70 will make them go purple, and not harm them much... but I dont know I'm just saying what they said... dude up there probably knows better... he used some big words...

the purple color has no effect on the bud quality/ smoke/ cronicness. It just makes it more desireabe on the market (not that anyone here would be selling anything like that) But the reason the bud will turn purple is because the plant is trying to fight off the cold, and not because it is a true genetic purple like you want.

lol please do not ruin your bud, to try and make it purple = 0

Im guesing you just want to make more money off of it, but you shouldnt torture your plants for profit. 75 degrees and green will be just fine = )

Much love <3

Aside from the cold, there are other less savoury ways of turning your buds purple, but they will usually make your cannabis taste like shit.

Besides, the only reason to do it is for bag appeal. I'd take an atomic green bud over a sickly-looking purple one any day.
