Why am I not seeing color?

Okay, I have gone through about three grows now and on every grow I have done, I am not seeing all of the lavish coloring that I see in most people grows. What could be causing this?

This is my current grow: as of 04/25/2012 only about two (2) weeks into flowering.

Strain and environment affect the colors. If at say they last 2 weeks of the grow you drop temps to the 60 degree range you get purples blues and reds. Some strains have natural colors jst in flower

Yea what he said but if you want it to turn purple your gonna have to let that plant flower to its full potential meaning you cant clip it down early you gotta wait until those buds are swollen and look like they have seeds but they dont then you can lower the temps at night i put some of my buds outside overnight and it brought out some purple also you can water with cold cold water not ice water but cold.

Your plants do look good tho keep it up it looks like they have possibly a month longer to go imo then they might start changing colors i saw that exhale bag they work pretty good for small spaces dont they i could tell a difference when i got a few of them in the size of my buds from a before and after. I currently have three of them in my 8x10 space keep up the good work

Thank you! I just started to use the bag co2 on this grow and I have started using Cutting Edge Solutions (3 part).

Now would this be the same thing as dropping frozen bottles of water in my reservoir? I'm asking because I plan on going back to my top feed recirculating DWC system
