oh, thats probly not the problem then. just a green pheno i guess =/

yea, it easily could of been a clone off a green pheno, or a branch that particualarly didnt take much of the purple trait. if you take 10 clones off one plant they will all have diffrent characteristics depending on the part of the plant it was cut from.

She hasnt been growing at all, she looks done, PM is getting annoying, bottom line...
She's getting chopped tomorrow morning, i gave her a flush this morning, it came up fast, so i didn't have any more time to prepare unfortunately, so a 1 day flush, and it will be 47 days flowering! almost 7 weeks, but when its done, its done...
ill post some more pics for u guys 2morrow

should be a pretty good yeild tho =]
good job!

thanks
ya i wish i could have flushed more, but the day i trimmed her i took a little nug put it in an envelope on top of my ballast for a good hour, i smoked it, it didn't taste bad, actually it tasted pretty good, i didn't cought at all, and i could taste the fruit, but since i did a shitty dry method the high was pretty short

so next time, will you be using the same strain with the same method? just make sure to get a good week or two flush in followed by a week of drought. the deficiency caused by flushing in the last few weeks can help to purple your plant and the drought can help stress the plant into defense mode for a little bit extra of that gooey goodness.
if you want to try your hand at some experimentation you could try adding some suppliments to your watering. phenylalanine or its precursor shikimic acid are known to occur naturually within plants, turning into polyphenols, particularly flavonoids. this is why high anti-oxidant fruits are usually dark purple or red. phenylalanine is known as an antidepressant and can be found on google shopping. though im not sure on its direct uptake, you could also try injection.
cytokinin and auxin, also available through google shopping, affect plant growth and can also help color your plants.
i would not recommend it as i have not experimented with it myself. there may be adverse effects such as increased flowering time as well as more subtle chemical changes that may or may not be worth the time and effort.

week of drought? that doesn't sound very nice... I'm definately gonna flush and cut off nutes soon, but I don't know how I feel about the drought. I heard about 48 or 72 hours of darkness before chop time as well, which I might try.

i heard that too, but i did some investigating and majority of the people say it doesn't work, one guy said the plant thinks its going to die in the darkness, so it just converts all of its resin to the buds, but that doesn't make any sense, so i didn't do it...

in nature mj vegitates in the longer days of spring summer and fall, and blooms in teh shorter days in fall winter and spring. it spends its life growing as vigorously as it can in veg, then when it converts to bloom in the fall it starts preparing for the winter drought. as the days grow shorter and shorter, the plant responds by kicking in full force to protect its seeds from the cold dry air by producing resins.
