Cold and purple

Is there a correlation between colder grow room temps at night and purple pistils??

could be i have purple pistils and it gets lower than 60 sometimes but i always thought could made the buds purple

I have heard that colder temps at night create purple pistils, I have also heard that cold will only make a purple strain more purple.
I'm asking, 'cuz the girl I buy my dope from (My seed source) has grown a couple in her backyard, and the buds on her plants were purple. Same seed stock. I'd LIKE to get mine purple as well, because right, wrong, or indifferent, here when people see purple, they'll pay double.

I remember reading that a 20degrees drop from day to night will bring out the purple

at is true but will also slow growth caused buy stress

I hear cold temps can make marijuana turn purple, one of my first 3 plants (from bagseed) just decided to start turning purple a little more than halfway through flowering and I figured it was because fo this one night where the temp got esp. low

almost every one of my outdoor plants in the NE turned mostly purple, its the natural response for MOST genetics to turn purple when the temp. drop at night is drastic.

Does the purple color help them live better in those conditions or is it just some negative reaction?

Cold can TURN ANY PLANT PURPLE.. ANY.. plant. BUT CAREFUL it can Hurt its Potency if done to drastic.

Doesnt help nor hurt. tomato plants can turn purp. LETTUCE? have you not seen PURPLE LETTUCE or PURPLE ONIONs?

the purple comes from the strain and cool temps...try keeping your room @ 60.0 f at night.. 70-75 daytime ..the colors should come out in the leaves stems budds ..keepin the nutes on the hi side can do it also...

Yes I have seen it I am just wondering why it happens and what the cold has to do with it.

i cannot answer that i feel stupid now.

I'm pretty sure its from a lack of either patasium or phosphorus. When the plant gets too cold it can lock out the intake of one of these nutrients.
