Couple questions as my Bay Dream girl finishes. In the past I have had difficulties getting any purple to show in any purple genetic strains. This is the first time I've run Cali Bay Dream and I knew it had some purple characteristics in its Gene's. I've never gone through efforts to get a big temp drop during the dark cycle in the past, specifically the last weeks of flower. This time I have been about 85 during light and have been lowering to 64 at night. I didnt think it was doing anything then the last week I'm seeing fans and some sugars turning colors. My question is does this look like normal color progression from anyone who has had luck with purple strains, and does anyone have any other suggestions. Lastly do you guys prefer starting to trim some fans as they really turn towards the end or leave them until harvest. Thanks for any info!!!!20200109_152210.jpg20200109_152331.jpg20200109_152238.jpg

I have only grown one purple strain, and it didnt need lower temps to go purple. Lower temps supposedly bring out colors, but they also slow growth.
Mine was showing purple pretty early in flower.

Yeah I know genetics is the first and most important portion of producing color. I didnt want to compromise growth as well. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure 64 wont harm in that matter. Where I think I've gone wrong in the past is I would keep a heater at 70 in my dark cycle and there wasnt much of a temp difference night/day. I guess my thoughts were just as a plant is triggered by reduced light hours I assumed mimicking what fall temperatures do aswell may be beneficial. I just wasnt sure the coloring I'm seeing looks normal....thanks for the comment!!!
