You can't turn your plants purple. Purple is a genetic trait in the plant and more often then not its a hard pheno to find. I've heard of people keeping there plants in under 70F but from my understanding cooling your plants to purple is not a healthy sign. Don't take this as perfect information as i'm on my first grow but if you'll check out some of the other purple threads i'm sure you'll find the same info. i'll try and find you a good link

cool temps at night turn some strains purple.Ive got M#1 purple pheno and it dont get real purple till the nights are cooler

better street value i guess. you can lower temps to turn some strains purple like mentioned above, but not healthy for the plant and will make for a bad smoke.

basically you can turn temps down from 60-65 degrees depending on strain...i prefer 60 but thats just me.......and purp is just for looks imho..it goes quite quick

Purple buds are mainly genetics...you can increase the amount of color by cooling the room at night. I have also heard that cooling the reservoir once and a while can turn those buds purple.

There is a difference between purple buds and purple plants. Also be aware that some nutrients are unable to be absorbed at low temps (i.e. phosphorus). So dont keep the temps low for long.

good info thanks

You can get the purple by either using a blacklight or putting them in freezer. You will have to experiment with both but however, it wont be real purple, it will be fake, with just a purple color.

drop them temps in your final 2 weeks to 65ish and watch them turn.. it puts stress on them but they will turn purp.. that bad thing about this is at the lower temps will drop the amount of co2 that your baby will be able to eat up.. so best thing to do is drop temps at night only then let it heat up when lights are on.. I like to add humbolts purple max to the party aswell.. people say it dont help but I beg to differ.
