Any advice on getting dark purple nugs?

Just wondering if anyone has any tricks they would like to share on getting deep purple nugs.
This is purple kush and chemdawg. The PK is 4.5 weeks old and the chemdawg is 3 weeks old.

I've never seen cured purple bud. I have scene some out door plants turn purple due to the lower temps. So do a little research. Temps and genetics IMO.

they turn purple when the temperatures drop at night, i think I'm right in saying that all strains will turn purple if they are exposed to cold temps for extended periods.

Thhis year a buddy of mine grew some farm dope seeds we found, some of the plants looked pretty nice and had bright pink hairs and purple spots on the buds. Then when he cut them and dried them the pink spots just became very dark. the final product was just dark bud no pink or purple, smelled fruity though. And i grew some Chronic X White Rhino that i left out until october 15th ( in central ontario), the buds were a nice light green, then when the colder night temperatures and a few frosts the leaves and some parts of the buds turned a really nice dark purple. So that is one way let them get cold.

ocld temps seems to be the trick, ok thanks for the input guys!

The buds won't stay purple after harvest, and low temps through the whole grow would not be good for final production.

look at my avatar... this one grows this way... its called DPD F3 (double purple doja)... as far as making them turn purple? i dunno...

50s 60s last couple weeks of flower will pretty much always do the trick

try a product called purple max. I've never tried but I'm going to next round only heard good things

purple maxx is very very tricky to use, i have read that it can burn the plants very easily

From the research I have done purple is either in the genetics or it comes because of lower temps during flowering or a phosphorous deficiency..

heres something Ill quote :

"ok, some plants have a genetic triat that causes the chloryphyll to change darker colors to collect more light later in growth. as the weather cools it tells the plant automaticly that winter is comming and its time to finish up. the color changes in those certian plants causing beautiful hues. these hues are used to collect as much spectrum thats getting put off by the diminishing sunlight that occurs after summer tward fall into winter. alot of plants of different species have this triat and isnt a phenomenon. if you give colder temps later in flowering some plants will purple but might not if temps didnt dip below normal. thats why grandaddy purp might not purple up in one growroom but might in another if its a clone, or even similar genetics. its all dependant on conditions.

the coloring of the chlorophyll does NOT increase potency .....only bag appeal."

"Tricks", eh? Let's get you back on track which is embracing common sense and botany. Based on the looks of those plants, you'll never finish them to a point of having any production anyway. Learn what makes a plant tick.

Also, why is the plant's anthocyanins so important? Just a rhetorical question? "Purple" is due to the absence of chlorophyll which under most situations would not be a good thing.
