new purple growth

[chiefrokaho]

Hey all. I put a cpl clones outside this year. Mostly sativa, in 5-7 gal pots, organic. They started throwing out new growth with a lot of purple on leaves and pistols.
My only thought is, the nights are consistently in low 60s and sometimes into 50s. I guess the cold temps locked up the P. Im gonna wrap the pots to hopefully hold in the heat it has. If I foliar feed with some P, will it be able to use it?
Any thoughts anyone has about either the cause or remedy I would greatly appreciate it.

Can't really see much in your picture, quality is poor. Low temps will lock out P but I don't think the 50's will do it. More like low 40s in my experience, but I could be wrong. P will lock out from ph imbalance as well so that may be worth investigating if you haven't already.

dude what model potato cam are you using?

Lol. Pretty shitty pic, huh? Gona try again, too shaky, cant focus

Hold a piece of paper behind the object you are trying to focus on.

I thought it would have to be colder too. I did read that equatorial sativas were more sensitive, mine is sativa but jus bag seed.
Have to try a sheet of paper tomorrow.

I just wish that many other members could be so far seeing? keep them warm use black 1/2 gallon jugs of water to make a solar heater, or surround with rocks for the same.....to my blog: https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/understanding-red-stems.28748/

Wow, now that's some serious purple! I've never seen one that dramatic. Do you know if purple runs in the genetics?

 

[perdidobandito]

I have had sativas do the same, but not THAT purple...

 

[chiefrokaho]

Random bagseed. Wish I did know what kind. Cant wait till I can get sum genetics, sh8uld make it a lil easier. Thx for lookin

temps any lower then 56 fahrenheit will lockout P

 

[chiefrokaho]

Does anyone have any other ideas that might be causing the purple?

Unusual. Drastic. I want to agree with hexthat. It seems it is the temperatures that are stimulation the color change. The genetics are there .Curious about the strain. I would love to know the pH of those pots

 

[chiefrokaho]

This is a clone from 1 I grew indoors. Didnt see this kind of purple, none that I can remember, inside.

 

[docter]

very interesting to watch.

Anybody seen these bugs before? It was hard to get a pic of cause it kept playing hide and seek. VERY fast, kept moving around stem to hide from me. Funny looking too if u can see its 'face'.
