Yo RIU :peace: Whaddup

wondering if anyone out there has any input on how to purple... any enzyme or amino treatments know to increase antho's? I know temp is an influence in the plant cell, and a treatment to make that happen would be cool for sure. Does it go deeper? anyone know how to encourage colored trichs??

Seems like i remember seeing a strain awhile back from someone up in the triangle taht was dripping too... what was that called? was it gooberry, or a zkittlez cut maybe?
i cant remember :wall: bongsmilie

right on. thats good looking out, Im all organic though. i should have mentioned that. I guess im trying to find the building blocks of said flavanoids and how to boost those levels organically. I guess sulfur and magnesium and somehow drop the pH of the vacuole? maybe phosphoric acid is key to carrying the acid inside the cell ( i see that is a key ingredient on the terpinator)...

If the winter where you live is actually cold, just open the window a crack over night and some plants will be purple very soon. My grandma said that when it gets cold her tomato plants turn purple, and they are never the same afterwards.
How does the plants vigor change because of the green chloroplast’s absence?

Genetics. Plain and simple. Pakistani Chitral Kush is a good strain to start. Cold and supplements are pure bullshit. Cold only changes the color of the leaves and using any product to turn your plant purple is just dumb. Might as well just mix up some red and blue food coloring and add it to you're watering.

Pick a color. Food coloring is only a couple dollars a set.




GENETICS is the way

Slowed magnesium uptake therefore

You can "purple" any cannabis plant simply leaves by having a temp differential between night and day of 30 degrees F. "Purpling" reduces THC by about 20%.

Genetics, true purple plants grow purple buds without any prompting.
Cold can make leaves turn purple in some non purple strains, in these strains the purple starts from the leaf tip and over time whole leaves become purple, and in some cases the tips of the calyxes may become purple. Usually whatever amount of purple you get from a non purple strain turning purple in response to cold is not retained when dried either.
True purple plants start purple from the calyx out, like the buds pictured above with purple buds and green leaves.

Long story short if you have a plant that is not a purple strain, don't try to turn it purple just buy purple genetics next grow.
Good luck.

Purple leaves caused by cold is not a true purple. A true purple will have purple buds and green leaves. It's genetics.

If you want a plant that turns purple and red then grow some ACE Pakistani Chitral Kush. And if you get one that grows green be happy. The green pheno is better.
