Don't mind at all
I was going to mention how if we want our plants to have more antioxidants which is what anthocyanin is, technically, the pinkish purplish hue we are looking for.. we should consider feeding them more antioxidants, be thru the worm's diets, soil feedings, or even air mistings. Once they are in place (abundance of antioxidants) then there are things we can do to "aid in pulling them out" so to speak.. if there is a reason to, that is... let me explain ..
After many trials and rounds of experimentation followed tightly by macro investigation, I realized there is a way to affect the "derma" cells in the long stalk part of the trichome gland by playing with vapour pressures and specifically using negative pressure / Vapour Pressure
Drops and the big precursor: UV earlier in the day to create minor stress- if the supply of antioxidants are there in the soil, magic could happen..
Especially when the soil is very well amended and very alive in all ways, when one is able to use plain neutral RO, as more neutral pH water helps amplify the bright hue ..
(blue purple and red are also possible based on pH fluxes depending on whether high or low, as well as if other elements are present such as Aluminum)
but again, UV exposure and therefore early UV / full spectrum exposure is important or shall I say my main theorized precursor to the plants wanting to be doing this..
not only because it builds a tolerance and can take longer focused periods later (especially in the end, of UV / deep reds and far reds) but its the very reason to it
wanting to create more substance in its exterior tissues to "protect itself" more .. simple survival and instinctual reactions.. almost like it creates a tan / rooftop for their bright convertible lifestyle, because clear glasslike crystals amplify and magnify the bright powerful spectrums (plants can see after all in a way).. if the diet is fully supplied, and factors allow, its just another tool or weapon the plant has to combat the extremes of life..
Of course, however, I think certain seeds are more inclined to this type of behaviour, especially really high thc varieties (billions of trich-relationships between sky and skin (aka plant) and therefor soil get established on the plants which cant hurt the odds of having complete more well rounded fully operational defence mechanisms aka trichomes develop) as well as early amber varieties. Having both or either of those present in the gene line is a big helper I think.
As for the two colours in the diagram, its because there is a basal cell in the thrichome that seemingly blocks the hue from coming up into the secretory cells, and for me, thats the crown achievement in macro organic MMJ photography .. I cloned the Tight (Pink) Dojo that I ran, the one that went riiight pink in the 'secre-cells' (thru and thru pink secretory cells) and after the mother got one treatment, of UV and A-ox foliar (A-Ox - = anti-oxidant) .. the clone got no UV and no foliar and no VPDrops's and after harvest pictures showed the traits were NOT expressed.. that is, there was no need (for UV protection) and no magic ingredient (no extra antioxidants supplied in abundance to play with, be it through air or soil)
Then to confirm, I did a round with several companies gear to test my theories and I was able to create hue.. in the sealed room I would build pressure up and vapour and RH then I would drop in middle of the night like a dew pressure drops each night. Focused Exposure to UV each night right before bed .. lay down some extra hue and need for shelter... then help the plant draw it out at night. Again, this was aided by paragmagnetic minerals in the soil/ crystals and worm castings that were made from scratch with a lot of great inputs, I think that helped the proton/electron flow.
Ended up pulling pink into the trichs on 60% of the specimens..same soil all around, no A-Ox foliar and the Bubbas Meltdown and Pink Gravy did it (big derma cell change,s not secre-cells though) quite prominently but the higher potency ones were the ones did it, too, The LA Choc and the Red Belly Diesel for example, but the weaker ones didnt; the JOTI, Crap King, etc etc. this leads me to believe its a trait thats inherent and expressible in stronger strains, but requires coaxing and certain environmental factors to be in place, in order to be brought to the forefront of visible exposure.
Hope that helps a bit.. if you guys make headway please share
